In 2018, I was introduced to Scratch. I thought it was such a cool program and spent all of my free time playing fun games and meeting new people. One day, I came across a girl, @AppleJack39 (A39). She was super kind and I felt a warm welcoming to her, pulling me closer. We soon became great friends, talking all the time and making Scratch projects about each other. It was probably the best year of my life. Suddenly, she left, and I wasn't sure why. I wondered why she would leave Scratch without notice, but I thought it had been for personal matters. Though I was a bit heartbroken and crushed, I eventually moved on, mostly accepting the fact I would never see her again. Even still, I remembered her daily. There wasn't a day I didn't miss her, so every 6 months I came back and messaged her profile, hoping one day she would respond. Though that day didn't come, I still had hope. 3 months ago, an account that I did not know messaged my profile. I felt like there was something special about that account, but I just didn't know what. I did some thinking and noticed they joined at the same time A39 left. I thought it was suspicious, but I thought I'd forget about it. Well, I didn't, and I thought about A39 every night. About 1 week ago, the account, @ClearlyNot-A-Coder, messaged me once more excitedly. She'd also done some thinking and found out I was @Cherry_Cupcake_19 and she realized she was @AppleJack39, our accounts from 2018-2019! That realization was one of the biggest eye-openers for me. It's a huge coincidence that an old, long-lost, online friend from 2019 would find my account 4 years later! I decided to share this message to tell people not to lose hope ever. It might sound cringe, but people can learn a life lesson from this. You should always be optimistic. And if you're ever struggling, grieving, or panicking, don't be afraid to ask someone for help, and do not lose hope. Stay strong and believe in yourself. I hope someone was inspired by this today. <3
This message is dedicated to my old friend, A39. If you are reading this, thank you for your message, Growth. I loved it and it was so heart-warming. I feel so happy that you have also remembered my old account from so long ago. I thought you would have forgotten about me at this point. I'm not sure why this happened or how we reached each other again, but I'm so glad that you messaged me that day. You could say it was fate, if you hadn't actually messaged me, we would've never met each other again. So thank you so much. You are a kind, passionate, and thoughtful human who deserves an amazing life. Thank you again. Your old friend, Sofia, or Cherry/C19
