12/31/2023 honestly ive missed when i used to go on scratch almost everyday! at that time, ive met some amazing people! although im no longer that 8 year old girl with lots of time in her hands. i really appreciate the fun times ive had here, i joined the scratch community for school purposes but i saw this as an opportunity to share, connect and communicate with others. i was involved with this website for almost 1-2 years, it has been a LONG journey from transferring schools, moving houses, losing friends to dreading the amount of change happening in my life. i found scratch a place to unwind and ignore my dislike of the changes. from discovering people who like kpop as much as me to finding really talented creators. scratch feels like a happy memory i wont be able to experience again. i know that rambling about a coding website isnt typically "ideal", i still feel the need to talk about it! but why is scratch just a "phase" for me? people get busy and find they have no time to do the extra stuff they used to, but its not only that; people change and lose interests and view things differently. thats what happened to me, i no longer feel the spark of going on scratch everyday and making new projects about my interests. though i started to think about restarting so many times and i always put that to a pause! i never thought would be just a "phase" because: i always find stuff to do on the daily, one of them is scratch! it was always part of my routine, unexpectedly, i just stopped... but whatever happens i might come back, although its not likely, i really appreciate the time ive had here and as the new year comes i hope many blessings and opportunities come my way. happy new year's eve to all!
