Hey! I wanted to talk a bit about my activity lately, and the future of my account as of now.
First off, I’ve not had any time to use scratch during school hours, as I am a Junior. 11th grade. I’m still *technically* grounded right now, I still have not had my laptop back, this is a major contributor to my inactivity. Secondly, as much as it hurts to say, I’ve grown. Scratch doesn't appeal to me as it used to. Whenever I have the chance to use it in class, I feel childish. Sure, I can make some “killer” animation, and yes, there are some AMAZING artists and animators on this platform with so much skill I cannot even come close to reaching.. but that doesn't change the fact this website was the craze of my generation over 7 years ago. Not now. Thirdly, I’m starting to dislike being pretty much chronically online. It’s taken a toll on how my life has played out using this website. Both good and bad. I’ve met some amazing people and it’s really just.. affected me in such a good way. But, being online alot causes problems. Such problems being: not paying attention in class, grades dropping, slower train of thought after being online for more than 3 hours, and believe it or not.. changes my personality. I’ve seen myself become more active in life after being grounded for so long. Like I ACTUALLY have started to talk to people i normally don't, which for my case.. is a HUGE step in my life. And to think I’ll be in COLLEGE in 2 years.. jesus. So.. what does this mean? Well I’m not leaving just yet, I’ve still got a bit to go.. but just know, I’m not going to be here forever and neither will you. We have lives to live outside of a children's coding website, and one way or another we’re going to leave scratch behind. Ps. I’m trying my hardest to work on the ruins collab, and Imm sorry I’ve made you guys wait too long for this. It’ll be soon! ok bye
