After careful thought, I think it's best if I leave. I wanted to say it for so long, but I just didn't know how. I know this may come as a shock, but please give me a moment of your time and read what I have to say <3 This was a fun place to share my art and meet great people, but my time here is up. I don't have the passion that I did when I first started posting. This decision has absolutely nothing to do with people or events of any sort, it's just been more of a subtle realization that's been floating around in the back of my mind, that hey, I don't want to do this anymore. Creating art will always be a hobby of mine, however it's no longer at the top of the list, it's no longer my "thing." I'm kind of stuck as of what to do with my life now, but I know that I'm making a good decision. The thing is, I'm not a designated art kid irl. Most people I know have no clue that I like drawing, or go on scratch. I suppose "Sundew" has always been a seperate persona; an alter ego of a sort - in a sense that she's a whole other secret side of me. But I don't want that anymore. I want to be the most honest version of me I can, while also working to improve whoever that ends up being. As school is starting up again, I want to focus on different interests, and I feel like scratch and I are not up to speed. I should've seen it a long time ago. It all started what must've been a couple months - maybe even half a year ago by now. I began to subconsciously withdraw from this site. Friends were leaving, drama was endless, ST was stricter than ever - and it's all flaring up in full force now. These days, I feel like my connections here aren't what they used to be. I genuinely care about my online friends, so if any of you are reading this, I want you all to know: I truly meant every compliment and every "lol." You guys showed me there was more to this site than just liking and posting. But things have changed since those times. I don't need this site anymore, and it doesn't need me - it never did. People probably won't even see this, or if they do, they won't give it a second thought. And I get it. It's okay. So this is it. The fated and prolonged farewell. Scratch and all the amazing people I've met through it will always hold a precious spot in my memory. Anyways, thank you guys so much for supporting me through this chapter of my life - love you all. Now it's time to turn the page. I'll stick around for a couple days to say my proper goodbyes, but yeah, I guess this is the end of my Scratch journey. But who knows? I'm content with going where life takes me, just so long as I'm happy. Signing off - S song is long live by taylor <3
