yo hi guys !! so i havent given this much thought but recently i havent been checking on scratch so often as usual, and i guess ive decided to go on a 1-3 week/s break ! - - - | —> context ;; i feel like i should take some time off scratch, even though im not even 24/7 active on it either. it’ll be difficult for me to resist the urge to press the bookmarked scratch icon, but i think this’ll be for the best. as for my own health and spending time with irl things. and no, this isnt a vent !! i am okay, theres nothing wrong w/ my mental health and ive been doing well ! but a break never hurts, and i think i can take the time to really appreciate other things amongst scratch !! man im going to miss yall and the community though | —> context on a more personal level ;; ive been struggling with my art style, but im afraid to stop drawing in mind that i might never draw again ! drawing is stressful when i cant put a finger on a single art style— its really frustrating to see so much talent around me, and i cant figure out my own :’] but on another hand, drawing is like the only thing im actually good at !! and drawing is my personal outlet for feelings and expressing things, so itd be a real bummer if i stopped anyways i dont think its fair for me to say these things, because those people have worked /a lot/ to get where they’re at now. and i respect that. i just need to take some time away from scratch, perhaps come back when i figured things out. hopefully not too long, but id say at max two or three weeks. i love scratch; its community mainly. people can just be so welcoming and friendly <33 also recently i havent gotten enough motivation to barely finish an art piece. which isnt unusual, but annoying to deal with especially when you just want to draw yk?? this also goes for writing haha :’D | —> again this shouldnt be vent. ermm but it sounding like it is, i dont intend for it to !! please keep things positive or at least light-hearted in the comments <33 /gen /lh | —> what am i going to be doing? ;; dont know honestly. i wont be going on scratch, OH but i have an idea for a story !! a warriors cats story ! perhaps i’ll make it a comic for yall when i come back :D (doubt it though, i might not have enough motivation uhh-) i still dont have an idea for a name.. mmm ive got two ideas for a comic/story. one i formulated and planned for id say two years now, and have at least 12 pages worth of google docs plotted out. although the story isnt fully fleshed out, ive listed the characters and general idea !! i do have a name for this story ! as for the other one, its just.. well, made up on the spot. very recently. this idea hasnt gotten much plot or story to it, but i get the general idea and its exciting to me !! i can imagine it being a comic but im afraid this burst of motivation for this story might only be temporary.. it might be more emotional-based than the other ig okay !! moving on i dont want to say “ill be working to expand the second story’s idea a bit more during this hiatus” because then i feel like im obliged to?? and then its not fun anymore :( anyways, not sure what i’ll be doing midst the break but something i can be happy with :] /pos | —> what about scratch-related things? ;; things like roleplaying (tfcrp, sundial, etc) is what i really enjoy, but as im taking a break from scratch, that means i wont be active on that either !! so any current roleplaying threads im on i wont be replying to, and unfortunately i cant exactly find them anymore since they’re urm.. buried deep under studio notifications ^^” SORRY !!! in addition to this, swc !! oh my gosh i love it already, hshshsh i really wish i could continue this <3 ALSO IM REALLY SORRY FOR THIS UNEXPECTED BREAK !!!!! like i remember when i signed up i said i was going to be active but look at this :sob: err im also taking a break from this as well, though, because ykyk im taking a break from scratch as a whole !! as we’re already halfway through july, and i wont be returning for some time, when i come back the swc of july might be over. i am NOWHERE close to completing my word goal, but im content with the people ive talked to across my first swc journey !! i love my hi-fi cabinmates, and gosh i would continue gushing but i dont want to make things sappy ^^ /hj /lh | —> are you going to be okay? ;; YES !!! i mean its a time of relaxation, and again, my mental health is alright !! /gen /srs scratch just feels like an anchor sometimes, and a break is healthy nevertheless. maybe i’ll right my sleep schedule to an actual existing one, ykyk take some time to focus on irl things :] /pos so i guess i am doing this break on the note of mental health- | —> final note ;; so !! i guess this is where i’ll part off, and hopefully return more motivated and better :D im not leaving permanently, and i dont have some secret scratch account i’ll be scrolling on. im just basically banning myself from scratch temporarily as a break !!
