Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I haven't been too active lately, and here's why (I am not leaving or anything like that, so please don't worry!): I am working on a big project outside of Scratch. It's a fanfiction story based on the TV show SpongeBob SquarePants. It doesn't have a title yet, but the story is about SpongeBob's pet snail Gary going missing, and SpongeBob and his friends all venture out together to try to find Gary. Along the way, SpongeBob experiences the tough emotions that come with Gary's disappearance and learns that true strength doesn't come from hiding all your emotions. It comes from facing them, expressing them healthily, and leaning on loved ones who can share the heavy burdens that come with them. Will they find Gary? You'll find out when the story is released on Scratch! (It won't be for a long time, so please be patient.) I got the idea for this story because, in the past, I've struggled with trying to hide my emotions and trying to be "tough." But, I have learned more about what toughness really is and how it's okay to cry or lean on others for support. I hope that this story (when it comes out) will encourage people by sharing the same message AND by giving them something to laugh about with the fun and familiar characters from the world of Bikini Bottom! That's all. I hope you're not worried about me anymore and understand why I haven't been as active as I usually am. I am not quitting, just working on big things! It'll be a while, but I am excited to share this story with my friends and followers and others in the Scratch community. I bet it'll be amazing. :) Love, @GrapePickle22 (aka Diana)
