SHORT: I have nothing but apologies for my absence and the unfinished obligations I left. I do not remember them, and I don't have the time to complete whatever they may have been, and for that I will forever be sorry. The initial feeling sorry made me nervous to come on Scratch, and now it's been so long that I'm even MORE sorry! But new year new me, and I miss this place. LONG: A few years ago, someone asked me something along the lines of, "How do you keep up with Scratch while in college?". I totally thought I could at the time, and I was enjoying it a ton! that did not last, clearly... Life has been a bit tough for me. Outside of college and work (I'm going into a scientific field, so that keeps me PLENTY busy!), my mental health has been taking a sharp decline! I kept making obligations online, hoping that making art for others would bring me some joy, but I always lost steam and just ended up feeling guilty. Then I could remember Scratch even existed. Being an adult is HARD, my dudes. There is one specific art request I still plan to do (@Aiosder I haven't forgotten about you ily I will check that email I swear) but I can't keep up with whatever else I had planned! I am somewhat confident I signed up for a MAP, but I didn't keep track of my obligations back then and cannot remember what or who it was for. Doubly sorry to those individuals; I can imagine the stress of not being able to finish a project. I also want to directly mention people I've talked to outside of Scratch. My reclusive (lol guess that name is fitting ;D) habits apply to all forms of communication, but I will try to get better! I'm going through some major changes in my life. Today doesn't mark an improvement in my state, but I hope that returning here will ease some of my anxieties. I've been isolating myself from the people around me over the last few years. I may as well start changing that here, where it all started! Also I really want to practice animating for fun again. Going through my old projects made me miss the whole vibe here. I did try posting elsewhere, but I just didn't vibe with the i-app! The clock app is quite fun but only because I am dabloon-focused. I am very into Dabloonian society these days. Also... 1000+ followers? Bonkers. Wackadoodle. I am Gobsmacked. You've all been too kind to me! Maaaybe I have plans to celebrate, but I don't want to make a promise I can't keep! We'll just have to wait and see... PLANS FOR THE FUTURE: I would like to keep posting, however infrequent! I have some class animation projects that could translate nicely to Scratch. I would also like to animate again with OCs and fandom stuff! Maybe no MAP parts till I get used to being on here and with people, but just little music things for myself (unless u have a REALLY low-pressure MAP you need parts filled, I guess!) ... And a contest idea I'm toying with for my follower celebration! It'll hopefully be a bit easier to judge than a DTA and leave something for everyone :D ADDITIONALLY I currently have 680 something messages, I doubt I will be able to go through them all ya boy req is back tho, for however long I can keep it up >:D (If there are typos in the project no there aren’t shshshhshsh my iPad stops functioning after I add a certain number of pictures and it takes ages to type things) ----------------------------------------------------------- Credits: Art: (me) Fandom Characters: Various sources, do ask if curious Music: some Minecraft themes by C418 -----------------------------------------------------------
