tues, jan 3, 2023, 7:57 pm -------------- hi guys. this is kind of weird proj for me to make. i honestly never thought it would come to this. -------------- so here's some updates: made an alt for sets: @rosiieta decided to start a new style/redo my profile and deleted some projs i entered into some banner contests changed up my banner style to make it look (chef's kiss) professional! -------------- so now.. (sigh...) here's my message: -------------- hi guys, i know i haven't even been on scratch that long, even though my join time was quite a bit ago, i didn't even know that this account and scratch was a thing. -------------- anyways, lets get on with it i know that i don't have a lot of followers so no one's probably going to see this but if you do, pls read this i haven't even been an "aesthetic scratcher" for that long i feel like scratch is just a boring place now so many people in the aes comm are leaving, and there is just so much drama i feel like every day i get a notification about a project telling you to "report so and so cuz they did this" or "i'm leaving because of blah blah blah" i'm not saying that those projects are bad cuz i myself am doing one right now. scratch seemed much more fun when i was younger and was playing/making games, like my first project, make a drink, or my second project, click the button. (btw if you want me to share these i will) after i saw aesthetic projects and i tried them out. i switched from making games to making aesthetic projects. honestly it was fun at first, but know i 'm kinda losing motivation. scratch was definitely more fun when i was young. but now all i seem to hear about is people stealing, faking, shaming, being rude in general. ... and i thought scratch was supposed to be a friendly and welcoming community for everyone? well some people don't get the message. and i right now am feeling miserable. there is a lot going on in my personal life right now and i don't/can't talk about it. i've seen people make 'vent studios' and 'vent projects' but i have no idea how you all seem to be so comfortable on scratch. i know i would not like to share my private problems and stuff i share with my irl friends on here. some things were even harder to share with my friends, and i would never tell complete strangers. to rly think about it, i probably don't even have someone to share my problems with. i haven't rly made a single friend on scratch. the two closest people to me are probably + i rly had only talked to each of them a couple of times but you should follow them give someone else the joy of being on scratch, help them enjoy it while it lasts, maybe they will thrive in this environment. maybe they will? ... scratch is not a safe space anymore, at least for me. i liked it at first but honestly this has only caused my stress, and even though i can get hooked on other projects, gosh i rly don't like it anymore. i'm rly, rly sorry if this is ruining scratch for you. ... to the people that helped me reach 51 followers, shoutout to you guys in the notes and credits :) you guys are amazing, and i hope you see this. anyways, this is what i'd like to say even though i took many breaks to get away from the stress and the annoyance scratch caused me, i have decided .... that i might be quitting. it rly feels weird to say, and i want you guys to know that i won't be leaving right away, and that i might randomly check on my account. it wasn't that hard to say i was going to leave, but it wasn't that easy either. i've seen lots of "leaving" projects where people say, "don't leave! ilysm! awww, i'm going to miss you!" i'm not trying to be mean to those people, because i sometimes feel the same way as the people that say things like that. what i want to say is that since i'm leaving, i don't want other people to feel bad about it, you don't have feel like you have to convince me to stay. -------------- since i already said a lot of stuff, i should tell you something else. once upon a time, some long years ago, poor, young, little, grace constructed an undisclosed account, on the newfangled website called scratch. ... yes, thats right. i did make a secret account. i rly didn't do much on it. it's called: you can go check it out if you want. -------------- well, after that long message, i hope you guys can understand. even if no one responds to this project, i wanted to make it. i will be leaving probably, sometime this or next week. i might end up not leaving for a while, maybe 2-3 weeks, but i might become extremely inactive. ilysm, -grace <3
