hello, all.
contrary to popular belief, i have not vanished from the internet totally.
but while i don't have interest in returning to this group, i'm here to apologize for my sudden disappearance.
at the time of making my FlowersArePretty account, i was a 14 year old who was not allowed on the internet, let alone having any form of social media. i managed to hide my little internet presence from my guardians for two years until a string of negative experiences occurred after the other, and i was nearly found out. i became paranoid and rushed to find a new founder, but even then i was too late.
regardless, i had a responsibility to this group, and it was wrong of me to deactivate without managing to appoint a founder first and let everyone down. i made a promise and i broke it.
i don't expect anyone to read this, and that's fine. i'm only returning here to comment because a formal apology has been owed to you guys for.. nearly a decade.
(as a note, i don't think there should be a mature art folder anymore? unless there's solely disturbing content like gore and not NSFW content of the main 5 emotions in Riley's mind (they're still minors technically, come on), but i'm not the founder anymore so there's not much i can do there.)
all that being said, i hope everyone has a good life and don't stop creating!
