I feel very

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I feel very

I feel very guilty and incredibly worthless and I don't know why.

Simply put, the year is off to a bad start, and that terrifies me. (off-topic: one of my followers on tumblr reminds me of you. strange.)

I don't know what to do.

 

Maggie, read T.O.N.'s latest installment of the Ski Lodge Mystery. It just had me laughing out loud. T.O.N. is such a gifted, creative writer.

I've noticed that a lot of my comments have this really terrible annoyingly needy tone to them. Ugh.

I'm pretty sure Abigail doesn't really want to hang out with me anymore. Not that I can hang out with her all that often anyway, because we don't have any classes together this year, but I talk to her sometimes while I'm waiting to get picked up from school, and even if I'm talking about something she actually cares about, she just tunes me out. Maybe it's because I'm too freaking depressed for her, and I can understand that. But I'm actually making an effort to be not quite so depressing (this is not to say that I'm actually less depressed) and so why wouldn't she want to hang out with me? And today while we were waiting to get picked up fom school I was talking to Addie (one of my friends) and Abigail, and Addie was fangirling over My Chemical Romance and so was Abigail (even though she's never heard their music) and I said to Addie, "Oh my gosh I really like My Chemical Romance too" but she ignored me, probably because I DON'T LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD LISTEN TO MUSIC LIKE THAT.

Ruby, you were right. I did get in trouble, although I lied and my parents believed me. I'm sorry.

Brikena has this theory that when I was in San Francisco the summer before 6th grade, I met you but didn't know it was you.

I'm sorry you got into trouble. Summer before sixth grade was 2012, right? I asked my mom, and she said we might have been in San Francisco in the summer of that year. I think we went to the zoo. I can't remember talking to anyone there that wasn't my family, but there could have been a chance that we met. 

Just because this year started poorly for you doesn't mean it'll nessecarily stay bad. I know a lot of people put faith in the beginning of the year, but it's just a time-keeping method set up by humans. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Some people can spend the beginning of the year terribly and then have it get better, while some have great beginnings and bad endings. The begining of the year isn't an omen for the rest of the year. It's just a time. And for the record, I don't have a tumblr account, so the person that sounds like me is probably just some random person unless they constantly talk about lemmings, Rush, and the Evillious Chronicles. In that case, they're an impersonator.

Yeah, 2012. I highly doubt that we met, because I didn't really talk to anyone outside of my family either. Brikena comes up with the craziest theories.

Trust me, it was beyond terrible.

Do not feel worthless! If you are in an argument with a friend, try to solve it. Do all of your chores and homework, and do them well. Work hard, and you will feel happy. Do things that make you happy, at least one every day. If you are inside, look out of a window. Raise your fists above your head and say,"I CAN!!!" And tell at least one person every day how much you appreciate them and give them a hug. Do all of these things at least once a day, and your life will be lengthened by 7 years. Tell jokes with your friends. Most of all, live life to the fullest. There is a way out of this. I believe in you.

The thing is, I'm not doing well in school. I'm putting in SO. MUCH. EFFORT and yet I'm still basically failing math. And I can't get tutoring from my math teacher because he doesn't explain things in a way that makes sense to me.

I feel like I would be better off if I had different parents.

 

Maggie, maybe you can be matched up with a student math tutuor. I remember not understanding my high school math teacher. Another student in the class could understand my confusion better than the teacher could, because the student was more at my level. Maybe you can find help that way.

I'm getting a lot worse, although really it's all my fault.

Maybe you have the same problem I do , that even though you're putting everything you have into it , and you're trying to pay attention and learn you're just not because your mind is distracted ... somtimes , I have to read a page over 10 times because my thoughts speak louder then the words on paper .

( Just a random side note , stay away from boys till you're older . Because I'm all distracted thinking about my love Cx and I can't concentrate on school, which is BAD , lol . )
