ik this is rlly sudden, but .. im ... i'm leaving </3 scratch has been a huge part of my life for- what? three years now? i always knew this would come at some point. im way too addicted to scratch. srsly, my screen time has gone from 30 minutes each day to 2 hours. why ? scratch, that's why. i haven't been posting or being very active for the past 3-4 days now. ik i just posted, but i finished that proj a week back. i was just posting it now so my scratch journey would end on a good point <33 the reason behind my inactivity is the fact that i've been thinking a lot. abt scratch, leaving it, breaks, staying, my friends. some of u may know my irl friend, @nctepadd. she left after a day. at school, she came up and said, i quote, "i think i'm going to delete my scratch account. i know it could grow into something great, but with school, i can't handle it." part of me feels lonely now. my friends are barely active and take an hour to reply, my projects that i spend days on only get 20-30 views... and also .. some ppl have been stealing my stuff and copying. copying my og project ideas and claiming as their own. taking /huge/ inspo from my user and saying they "came up with it themselves". stealing my usernames and not giving creds (i had a f2u users proj on my old acc; it's unshared now). it all adds up. i have to leave. to my friends .. [ these are in no order !! ] sky / skoi / shkoi / skypie - sky.. u were the first friend i ever made. that time when you commented on @tokyoliights changed everything <33 u were my main inspo and motivation to post. i hope we can still chat on pin </3 maddie / maddie the pog - oml you are like the funniest friend i've ever had xDD and a great friend too !! u comment on every project, and try to guess every shoutout codeword even if it's impossible. i'll never forget you <333 elaine - ik we don't talk a lot and are probably not considered as friends in ur eyes, but you're a very nice, funny and considerate person :) your friends are lucky to have u <33 camille / camille the cup / camille the cool cup uwu - like elaine, we don't talk a lot either. but i would still consider u as a friend ... ? either way, ur funny, kind, and stick up for those u care about. im lucky to have met you </3 uni - you are such a kind and caring person !! though u say that ur thumbs svck, they rock >:D humble, sweet and generally amazing, i'll never forget witch uni <33 (idk if we're considered friends, but i had to add you !!) and to everyone else who's supported me during this journey , thank you <33333 abt the banner contest - it'll be closed <3 that's it. if ur a friend who wants to chat, my p!n is <3 i'll be semi-active there. - quinn / quinnling
