(Click the flag for some calming music or something, I had a different song but it wouldn't save...) (ALSO I'M NOT LEAVING) Hey Toad Team, FlamingToad here. I...have to do this. After watching a video on someone fully admitting their mistakes, I've now decided to focus on my own. You see, Scratch means a lot to me, it's part of me, it's been with me when I WAS 8, yeah, my time on Scratch dates F A R back, and I dread the thought of having to leave, because it'll come, whether I like it or not, but lately, I've noticed the impacts it's done to me, primarily because of myself. Day after day, I keep procrastinating, I have everything planned out for the animation, and I just don't want to do it, I hate it, but I keep doing it. It's not a circle, no, I look from a different angle. A downward spiral. With the school year winding down and me preparing for High School, I've finally realized, that I've never been preparing, I've just been here...always here. Why do you think I'm so active? It's because I've chained myself here, ever since I've made FlamingToad and made lots of friends, I've made a promise to never leave this site, and now, it's like I've cursed myself, I have the key, and I don't unlock the chains to free myself and take care of myself, it's finally time I do that. I have a lot going on in middle school, my grades are starting to falter, I have track, I have a life outside of here, it shouldn't surprise you, but it surprises me. So yeah, enough about that, let's just cut to the chase. Don't expect any activity from me until... ...Summer Break - September It's a long, rough time for me that I just have to take, or else I'm just stuck in this loop/downward spiral of worrying about the wrong things and not caring about the stuff that matters to me most. I've been avoiding this for a long time, I've never wanted to do it, but here I am, it's inescapable. This isn't some excuse to procrastinate more, it's a promise to myself that I shouldn't break, it's something I should've done long ago. This is a temporary goodbye until I can finally chill for the summer, or get all my assignments done. Before I end this, I have some stuff to say to some certain Scratchers: @King_DDD_and_pokemon, you still can use any of my characters in your game, please do remember to give credit @toad_690, I'll still use those Halloween PFP's, believe me @Nintendogamer65, I support you through whatever goes on right now, I've seen the video, and thank you, you've made me realize that...I've been neglecting who I truly am. Without that video, I don't think this would've ever happened. and lastly, this is more specific. @Luigi_Rulez, thank you for being an amazing friend during all my time on scratch, you're a true king and I've loved being your friend, and you are inspiring me to stay on here, and don't think you're the reason of this entire thing, not in the slightest, that goes for everyone else here. I have to take care of the real me more, and my friends and family. Not the virtual me. Until next time, Toad Team -FlamingToad/ToadToons/FlamingEngineers
