This announcement came late. Well, there's a couple reasons why I'm taking a break from Scratch. This hiatus will apply to creating projects and roleplays. I really enjoy interacting with the community and writing stories with you guys, but I don't have the time or energy for Scratch right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first reason is... 1. School. Highschool is exhausting. I spend the majority of my day at school and catching up on math homework. Right now, I'm learning how to find the area of quadratic equations. It's as hard as it sounds. My math teacher gives out 20-50 of these difficult equations per day. It's literally insane, and I'm missing all of this semester's math assignments because I have no idea how to solve it. Feel free to DM me on my profile if you're familiar with highschool level math like this. 2. I have to spend more time learning to drive. I just renewed my permit and need to get my license before the next year. 3. My mental health has gone down since starting the new semester. I've been working on myself and attending traumatherapy. I'm trying to work on remembering and overcoming my trauma. To settle my impulses, dissociation, splits, and emotional struggles. This might be too personal to type on the internet, but I thought I'd give you guys a valid reason as to why I'm taking a hiatus. 4. My life feels like a waste. Every day, I go to school, do homework, and maybe work retail if I pick up a shift. I don't do anything I enjoy anymore, and I don't feel motivation to pursue my hobbies. Whenever I draw or write, it feels empty. Art and writers' block is demotivating me. For some reason, I can't draw as good as I used to. Even if I have free time in my schedule, I have a hard time enjoying and completing stuff.
Nobody is at fault for this. Whether you're a follower, a lurker, or someone I got in a debate with over the past month, my decision has nothing to do with the state of the Scratch community. I love you guys, and I'll reply to my current roleplays once I feel a bit better. <3 -Crimescenes
