I read the Summer Eternal manifesto and it inspired me to write this poem.

I STOKE MY OWN CREATIVE SPARK AND SELF-IMMOLATE AS CONSEQUENCE, ONE MORE PYRE PROPPED UP AS SACRIFICE TO A THANKLESS NOTHING.

I don’t think ResetEra is good but as someone who was on GameFAQs for ten years, GameFAQs mods are worse. I can guaruntee you any mod drama that happened on ResetEra has happened on GameFAQs multiple times over. If you think the Pokémon boards are the worst on GameFAQs, you probably haven’t ever spent much time on the site. I don’t want to point drama from other sites so that’s all I’ll say.
 
Not every American soldier during WWII was a hero...some were rapists. In fact, it seems throughout history soldiers have felt entitled to sex w/ women. Bunch of scumbags.

I know GameFAQs as a whole is very toxic, like the comments sections on Fox News and Twitter after Elon Musk’s takeover, but the reason why I singled out the Pokémon boards is because of how they trash-talked Glaceon (which was one of my favorite Pokémon at the time). Another reason why I say that they were worse than the other boards is because the Pokémon fandom is the most toxic and most polarized fandom in the world. Even at the time Sun/Moon was the main game, they’ve been full of whiners who are extremely competitive or vain while there’s a whole fandom that dismisses any Pokémon after Mew as an illegitimate Pokémon. But after Sword/Shield came out, the fandom has gotten even more toxic and more polarized. But then again, the world has gotten worse.
 
So on my bus, I’ve been sitting in this seat since sixth grade, but this girl wanted me to move, and normally I just move because she and her friends would just annoy me until I move because she acts like she always sit here so she can talk to her friends when I usually sit here. So today I decided to just say no, and not move. And it took a while and some arguing over a bus seat, but it worked and she just left. I actually feel good about myself because screw that girl lol. Is this how it feels like to actually be able to stand up for yourself?

I’m beginning to stand up for myself too. In fact, I stopped listening to several people who aren’t in any level of authority. For instance, if some kid asks me to help them with a video game, I would refuse, no matter how much manipulation they try to give me or what excuses they have to make. I used to listen to trolls like if they were moderators. Now I don’t, and it makes me want to go back in time and tell them that they are not the boss of me.

When I was still living at home, I started to refuse to listen to my stepmom or obey any unfair rules meant only for me and not her daughter out of principle of knowing what she was doing wasn’t fair and to show her that I wasn’t going to let her allow her daughter to do whatever she wanted such as watching tv for literally six hours straight and not moving once from the couch while I get yelled at for watching tv for more than exactly one hour per day. It was clear favoritism and I wasn’t going to let my stepmom get away with that. I kept telling my therapist and other adults what was going on and no one listened to me or tried to help me. They all told me to just accept the unfair treatment because she was my stepmom and I had to obey everything she told me to do. Here’s the thing that those adults seemed to have forgotten about me. I always followed the rules and only broke the ones that made no sense to me or were unfair. Even when I was taking driving lessons, I was following rules do closely that I was actually driving UNDER the speed limit on the road because I didn’t want to go too fast and get a speeding ticket. For me to openly rebel against an authority figure meant that something was seriously wrong and needed to be taken care of and not ignored.
 
Last night, I don’t know what came over me, but I was watching the AI Sponge livestream on YouTube and burst out laughing at Squidward singing “Beverly Hills” as people booed him. 😂
 
I hope I be able to go to sleep tonight. I stayed up again and crashing (aka fallen into a deep sleep) around the afternoon. 😢
 
Has anyone noticed that every single car ad on TV has fine print that says “do not attempt”? I get it if it’s SUV’s off-roading crazily, but I saw a BMW ad about a family doing some plain, ordinary driving through a neighborhood, going the speed limit, and I still saw “do not attempt” in the little fine print under the action.

Remember guys, never attempt to drive safely through subdivisions.
 
Matrim Cauthon = best character in the entire Wheel of Time series! He always brings the comic relief.:LOL:
 
I wanted to write to my future self on TBT, but…I didn’t know what to put.
I don’t to ask “have you achieved XYZ yet?” Because I don’t want to set myself up for possible dissapointment. I suppose I should’ve put something lighthearted in there, but I was thinking too hard I guess.

But hey, I’ve written letters and notes for my future self before. I think I have two for when I turn 25, written at different points in middle school if I remember correctly. I also used to use the calendar app on the family computer when I was like 7 to send myself weird little messages for the future like a birthday message for each year. Funny story, I used to hate going out in public so much (terrified of bumping into classmates) that I gifted myself “breaks” for one month a handful of years from then. I think the year was 2014 or 2015 lol. The way these were supposed to work is I’d say I have a break! And that was like a stay at home free card. I gave them different brand names and everything XD But by then, thankfully I had long gotten over that fear.
 
When I was younger, I used to confuse Gilbert Gottfried, Nathan Lane, and Wallace Shawn’s voices all the time. I mean…they sound similar, but not THAT similar.

Also, I used to watch Teacher’s Pet and I think two of them were in it— was always getting their voices mixed up in that.

I'm a little bummed that I wasn't able to see any of my Canvas Crossing drawings on the homepage 😔
On the bright side I don't need to keep checking there so often now

I have to say, not very many people drew my character for the Canvas Crossing event. I’m not sure if it’s me they don’t like, or if my character wasn’t inspiring enough. I mean, more than a few people have turned against me, and yet I still don’t understand why they don’t like me.

I've gotten onto a few ignore lists over the past two years. I tried my best to change that fact, but I realized that you can't make people forgive you. I understand why these people feel a certain way about me but it's useless trying to change it. I understand now that some people will not like me and that's fine.

It just sucks that I ruined my reputation on this forum because of a few controversial things I said, some of which I didn't even agree with myself. It also sucks because a few people that have me on their ignore list honestly seem like some of the nicest people, but I'll never get to know them because of my past.

Also, I like to think I've gotten better over the past few months... that I learned how to handle my Bipolar.
