╭── ⋅ ⋅ ─────── ✩ ──────── ⋅ ⋅ ─╮ Hey y’all, it’s about that time I’m leaving I joined scratch in 2021 when my friend peer pressured me into making my first OC (Nightlark), getting my first sketchbook, and making an account. I owe everything to that friend, and because of that, Scratch has quite literally seen me grow into the person I am now. My first account was @n16ht14rk, and I stayed on that account for multiple years before deciding I wasn’t interested in being on Scratch anymore Frankly, the only reason I made this account was as a social experiment; I wanted to see if I could get 1k followers in a short amount of time, and it worked very well (thanks guys) But I also hated how I left on my last account. I never reached my goal of 1k, I kind of just faded away. So I decided to make this account because I wanted to leave on a better note, and I think I did a good job of that. I completed my goal of 1k, made new friends, caught up with old ones, hosted an art class, and I’m glad I could be an inspiration to other people, seriously. I appreciate all the nice things y’all have said to me, I love looking back at my comments and reading all the wonderful things y’all have said to me. Unfortunately, I’m much too old to be on here. I’m barely a kid anymore, as much as I don’t want to grow up. I have big ideas, plans for my life, responsibilities, and while this site watched me grow up, it’s time for me to move on. I’ve been fighting my head, depression, family disconnection, school stress, and responsibilities that have been very overwhelming for me, and my mental health has been less than great for the past couple of months. Fortunately, I’ve been taking steps to get better; I’m seeing a therapist again, I’ve been trying to stimulate change, and I’m trying to make an effort to enjoy myself with friends! But that’s not what I want to focus on with this message. I want to thank y’all for sticking with me through everything, for growing up with me, for supporting me, for inspiring me, and so much more. I know I sound corny, but Scratch means a lot to me simply because of how much I’ve changed and grown here. I truly can’t believe that I’m the same person only 5 years ago, it’s been a crazy past couple of years. You can find me on other sites though, I haven’t completely disappeared! I’m on DA (Nightlarkk), TH (Nightlark), IG (_nightlark), and AF (Nightlark), and I’m trying my best to grow there. I’ll probably pop in to see what’s up every now and then, but other than that, I won’t be posting, responding to comments, or liking/faving anything Thanks for everything, I’ll see y’all around - Lark ─────────────────────── ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛꜱ ↴ Art - @_nightlark Code - Time - 15 mins App - Procreate Audio/Song - Way Out by Stray Kids ╰─ ⋅ ⋅ ───────── ✩ ─────── ⋅ ⋅ ─╯
