i checked scratch for the first time in a long time today. reconnecting with your past self is something i long for daily but will never quite acheive. ironically, the closest i get to it is by looking at my old messages on scratch. so lets get to the brass tacks: where am i now? i started my first year of high school three weeks ago and its being going great. i love being around people older than me. it's like im constantly learning how to be a better person. if theres any advice i could give younger me it is to listen to older people more. i used to hate living. i used to despise waking up in the morning but after listening to how these older people speak about their life and such it makes me motivated more than ever to live more and more. on a brighter note, i reconnected with @zigzaq (who was brooke this whole time :0 four years of calling her ann haha) it was nice to have something prosper from scratch, even if it was just a friendship. but i believe friendships are the best ships you can sail on. my personal life has been alright. im playing alot of guitar and getting over some hurdles but ill be alright. sidenote: the backseat lovers are such a good band. check them out! jeff buckley and vulfpeck, too. tommorow night i have my first football game and i'm excited to say im not afraid to "participate". not that i ever was, but the dauntingness of everyone is so scary. i love everyone who has ever interacted with my profile, and if you have read this far, i thank you for that. the years i was on scratch helped me prosper into what i want to do for a living: aviation! every time i say that "this will be my last project" or "this will be my last goodbye", and while yes i do want to be free from the shackles of this site, maybe constantly saying goodbye doesn't leave the younger more naive part of me behind completely. i miss myself. but i love growing. i wish i could live my cavetown-undertale-mxmtoon-phase all over again. take your younger years in fleeting hesitance. so if this is the last goodbye, goodbye. and if not, i'm still young.
