So, It's been a while. Haven't shared a project in maybe a month or 2. I just wanted to talk. Ever since I started scratch on this account, about a year and 10 months ago, I have, well, not been very popular. I was averaging maybe 2-3 views on one project, but I didn't care. I made more projects and hoped that people were seeing them. Soon, I started being more active, commenting on people's projects, offering advice and praise, and trying my best to make others feel good about themselves and their work. But still, I was barely even being noticed. I started doing more to try to get noticed, and eventually it actually kinda started working. I got more followers, I was noticed by people I looked up to, and people started really liking my stuff. And then the school year started. I started having less time to scratch, and when I did I wasn't. I started animating off of scratch, trying to maybe start a youtube channel and move on to better things. And then I made the decision to work harder on animation, take more time, and make better things. But then, when It seemed like I was going to be doing better than ever, things got worse. It hit me that no matter how hard I tried on a drawing, or how much I wanted to make a story, It was never really going to be noticed. Even if I poured my heart and soul into an animation, it would barely get any recognition. So I lost motivation. There was no reason to keep bringing out content if no one cared. It felt horrible, but I stayed on scratch. I still went online and gave other people recognition. But it didn't help. I tried to write the second Foxes Tale chapter, but I couldn't. I didn't feel anyone would read it. I felt that to be recognized on this platform, you either had to be really good at art, or be barely active, because that's the way it went with so many others. I didn't feel like I was good at art, and I was far to active for the second way. Eventually, it got to the point it there was no use in trying on here. "Whats the point of making something if I'm the only one who see's it?" I constantly thought, and that was where every project I was wanting to make ended. Every. Single. Time. "Why try?" "What's the point?" "Who's going to see this? Who's going to like this? Who would ever like this crap." Somehow, I always found a way to shoot myself down. Everyday, I would get on scratch, and nothing would change. The only mail I would get was from the groups nobody knew I was in. Soon, I just stopped logging in. What's the point in checking? All the mail I have is from stupid groups. And this went on for a month. Although, after I stopped checking, I started feeling better. I decided, one day, to log back on, and to see what had been happening. Of course, I still basically only had group notifications still, but this time, there was one notification that wasn't from a group. Someone had remixed the Map I had started to My Time by Bo en. And that project, is probably the one reason I haven't deleted this account yet, and left scratch forever. This one project helped so much, I decided to try again, and give scratch a fresh start. So here I am. I am going to try again.
