Why I haven’t been active… I think I finally realized something that I didn’t want to admit: life moves really, really fast. It feels like yesterday I was just being a goofy kid, drawing random things, making jokes, talking to everyone, and never thinking twice about what tomorrow would look like. And now… things are changing. I’m growing up. I have a life outside of Scratch. I have people I care about, responsibilities, school starting up again, and so many things happening at once. I’m even turning 17 in NOVEMBER, which honestly feels CRAZY to say. Sometimes I look back at the person I was and realize… I’m not that same goofy kid anymore. And I think that’s part of why I haven’t been replying to everyone’s comments. It’s not because I don’t care about you guys. It’s not because I’m ignoring anyone. I’ve just been trying to keep up with everything happening in my life, and sometimes…I don’t even have the energy to open the comments and respond. I’ve also been going through a lot of changes personally, and I haven’t always felt like myself lately. School is starting over, my life is changing, and I’m trying to figure out where I fit into all of it. I’m sorry if I haven’t replied. I see your comments. I appreciate the people who are still here. I just need some time to breathe and figure things out. Maybe growing up isn’t about suddenly having everything figured out. Maybe it’s realizing that you don’t have everything figured out…and learning to be okay with that. So… thank you for being patient with me I also want to thank all of my friends for being there for me, even during the times when I probably didn’t realize how much I needed u. I know I might not always sound like I’m having a hard time. I joke around, and sometimes I make it seem like everything is completely fine. But the truth is… I don’t always want to admit when I’m not okay. Sometimes I’ll just say, “I’m fine,” because it’s easier than trying to explain how I actually feel. So if I’ve been quiet, distant, or haven’t replied to your comments, please don’t think it’s because I don’t care. Sometimes…I’m just trying to figure myself out. Thank you for still being there. I really mean it…
Please don’t think that I’m ignoring your comments… as I said, I’m very busy with life right now and if I don’t reply I’m not ignoring you… please don’t think I’m not your friend…
