this is a goodbye, to my closest friend on scratch; @ThatTransLeaf . if you're not them, you can ignore this whole project. i'm not doing this for views, or anything else. i'm just saying goodbye, to a friend. so leaf, here it is. i'm sorry. these past few months, i've been extremely unpredictable, randomly leaving for large periods of time. i've been ignoring complete messages, studios, and whole entire issues. but there is something that i still regret doing; ignoring you. i wasn't purposely shutting you out. i just needed a break from scratch. and trust me, there is nothing i wanted to hear less than what i heard when i returned. i searched for you for a while, until i realized you were completely gone. and i don't even know if you're still here, or if you're even the one reading this. but if you are, i hope you know that i've spent the past two months gathering information, trying to figure out how to contact you, even trying to spread awareness on the recent situation. but from what i've learned, you're not coming back. and that's okay. we all face challenges in life, and we all leave things eventually. scratch is supposed to be a place for kids, and you're growing up. but since you are leaving, just promise that you'll take one thing with you; the memories. i just want you to remember the memories we've created along the way. the projects we created together, the times when we've faced annoying trolls- all of it. and when you look back at it all, whoever knows when- smile. don't be upset that it's over, smile because it happened. so yeah, that's it. goodbye, leaf.
