hello everyone. yes it's me, zarah. as you all may know, i've been very inactive during the past few months, and i apologize sincerely for not telling you all why. but, i really don't think i can be on scratch anymore. i'll offcially be leaving. now you may be wondering why, so i'll list some reasons below. - irl problems - business irl - lost interest - toxicity all of these reasons are factors as to why i'm leaving. and instead of leaving you all in the dust, i've come to announce that i'll be leaving officially. as much as i've enjoyed being in this community, i can't stay longer. i don't feel as interested as i used to be in this community and making banners. also, my life irl has been terrible lately. i won't go into detail, but i just never feel good, and i also have some personal issues w/ family. life has also been very busy too. i've been getting so much work from school, and other personal issues have been keeping me busy as well. i dont have time for scratch anymore. the community on scratch has also become very toxic as well. everyday there's always someone impersonating, being rude, hating, and im sick of it. i could rant so much about the toxicity in this community, but i'll keep it short. so those are reasons why i'll be leaving. now about things such as my banner contest and the aesthetic diversity camp, those will be discontunied. anything else that's been going on will also be discontunied. any shops im working in i'll be leaving. i'll also be quitting on my set acc, @cloudbrvst. if i'm apart of any sort of activity going on, please remove me as i have quit. any future plans or requests that you guys may have asked from me will also be discontunied/not made. now to answer one question you all may have: will i come back? at the moment, maybe, but i highly doubt it. life is just too busy for me to come back and frequently be active. but maybe someday i will, who knows? i'm truly going to miss each and every one of you all. i don't regret being on scratch either, i've meet so many kind and nice ppl, and i'll never forget how happy you all made me feel. love you all, sincerely. <3 every moment i've spent on this website are moments that i'll never forget, and also seeing how i've improved over these past few 9+ months honestly makes me so proud. i'll never forget this account or this website, and i'll miss all of you a lot. with that being said, i'll offcially be sigining off from here. feel free to type your goodbye messages under this project or in my chatroom. goodbye. </3 11/30/2023.
