Hi! It’s me, MQQN. I hope you are doing well. I haven’t been on scratch much lately. And after a lot of thought, I decided it would be best to leave. Here are some reasons of why I am leaving: 1. It felt like a chore I know people have said this before, but honestly, it kind of did. I felt like I HAD to be on everyday, I HAD to draw as much as I could, which just made it harder. 2. I wasn’t making art for myself With all of the OTA’S, DTAs, DTs, I made a lot of art, but none of it was really for me, and it wasn’t what I wanted to make. I put so much work into my art, just for it to be given away, and sometimes it wasn’t what I wanted to make. 3. I want my art to go in a different direction I want to draw more humans rather than cats/dragons/wolves. Majority of my art is things like that, and it’s just not what I want to draw anymore. I also want to move on from scratch as a website, since it isn’t really designed for sharing art; it’s for programming. 4. I have a life outside of scratch During my long hiatus, I found myself happier. I was able to spend more time with my irl friends, and my family, and it was good for me. I also had more time to focus on school. 5. It stressed me out Deadlines of things like OTA payments and such really got to me, and it was just so much for me. I would get stressed and it would always be in the back of my mind that I had to finish something. 6. The numbers got to me I would constantly be checking things like how many followers I had, how many loves, favorites, and views I had, and in the back of my mind I matched it to my worth, which was unhealthy. With all of these reasons combined, I have concluded that I will no longer be very active on scratch. I will check in every now and then, and if you ever want to talk I am happy to, but I won’t really be posting anymore. I will be canceling payments that haven’t been started. I do have a DT with @Night_dragoncloud I know I need to do since they finished their side, so it only seems right to finish mine. If I have any other unfinished payments, please let me know and I will be happy to do them. If I do ever chose to come back, it will be so on @qhaos, my other account. I might post art every now and then there. Anyways, this is goodbye for now! Just know that I love you all so much, and I will continue to live a happy life. It was fun while it lasted, and I am so happy that I got to experience this. I am so grateful for everyone of you. I met some amazing people, like and , whom I will never forget, and will always have a special place in my heart. They are wonderful people. If you guys ever want to chat, let me know! See you when I see you :) Bye! -MQQN
