So, I just spent an hour on making this rainbow friendship bracelet. The first row looks like crap. And I really struggled with the yarn... ugh. Maybe I can make bracelets out of those polyester cords or something, cuz dealing with yarn can be a bit tedious. >>

(Practice makes perfect! You got this <3)



I'm still sad about schoolwork. Honestly I'm pretty sure that schoolwork is what's getting in the way of my happiness. I don't know what to do about it. Ugh.
 
aaaaah I activated the free trial for the gold pass on Mario Kart Tour and didn't realise that it was due to renew itself. My credit card and everything was set up so I could activate it, and now it has automatically charged me for a months gold pass. Now I've been charged for something that I'm not even intending to use lol
 
Why is life worth living if all you’re doing is battling mediocrity? I’m sick of being subpar in some areas of my life. I don’t want to just be good. I want to be great.

Smart enough to realize how miserable my life is, but not smart enough to overcome it.
 
My friend back in Japan hasn't responded in a while. She lives in Yokohama, where the typhoon hit. I'm a bit worried.

I have a couple of trades to do so that's doing a bit of stress.

Anyone can be smart enough to realize how miserable their life is. It's up to the individual how smart they allow themselves to in order to overcome it. Any person of whatever circumstance can do it- and they have- but some choose not to. You've got to have the will and the determination to make the changes necessary to achieve the life you want.

You want to be great? Strive for greatness. Open your eyes to the fact you deserve better, and in a confident way- demand that of yourself! Life is always worth living- if not for others; yourself. You can do it!

I’ve heard this advice countless times whenever I asked for advice from people. It may have been worded differently, but it was the same general message. Unfortunately I’m asking for specifics on how to do this, and it looks like it’s just something I’m going to have to do on my own and talk to my therapist about. I really only live for others at this point. I don’t consider myself that great or mature of a person. Thanks for responding, nonetheless.
 
I completely understand. I wish I could help you with the specifics, but I could only to that if I knew you personally. Asking about things like that isn't my business. I can, though, wish you the best of luck in seeking what you're looking for.
 
Today's just been really conflicting for me, honestly. I guess that's how it usually is. I keep on saying to myself that it's okay to feel like this - I'm allowed to feel emotions like anger and sadness. I'm just not allowed to express these kinds of emotions. My mom usually screams at me or just ignores me if I do so. I've always been told that I have nothing to be upset about, and to keep a cheerful face wherever I go - especially in public. Even if I feel like utter crap, I have to fake a smile for the crowd. That's what my mom has told me. She has always invalidated my emotions. It's mentally exhausting, having to reassure your own self that it's okay to have these perfectly normal feelings. I'm always at a battle with myself.
 
I was in the middle of watching Erased and my brother called me to pick him up from the gym. So I went to pick him up and told him that I was watching it.... THEN HE SPOILED ME because he thought i finished watching it!! So now I know who the murderer is
 
i’m on a rare 3 day weekend and so far i’ve done absolutely nothing 8( i wish i could go see my friends but they’re on different work schedules than me. sigh
 
I miss you. I'll see you soon, not for as long as I want, but it's something I guess.

I just don't know how much I can handle though.
 
As I was going to bed last night I got text someone I haven't seen in a while was nearby. We got through over 3 bottles of wine between us. I'm gonna die at work today. Pretty sure I'm still drunk and I've a meeting in 2hrs.

I skipped dinner this evening, then decided to have shrimp with cocktail sauce past midnight. Yeah... big mistake.

Hey, I know this is late, but I just wanted to say you?re not alone in feeling this way. I know others who are insecure with their art, and I think it just takes a lot of consistent, good practice to get better at it (I?m not an artist myself, just what I heard). I can definitely relate to feeling invisible and not being able to make friends or feeling like I don?t have much personality. I?m also more of an introvert as well. I also don?t feel like my appearance is that great as well.

I would just say to start trying to think about positive things, things that you DO like about life and yourself. Also, not necessarily putting yourself out there, but helping others and being positive towards others can help as well. I think the more people realize you want to help them the more they?ll want to try and help you as well, whether it?s something serious like giving help with a task or skills, or even anything as basic as talking to each other about how each other is doing and giving each other motivation to get through the day/week/etc. All of that is what I do anyway.

I hope that you can stop feeling this way soon and start feeling more confident about things. ^^

Oh no please don't worry, it makes me happy that anyone would pay attention to my rambling complains haha. I appreciate it! I am trying to improve so that I'm at a level where I can be completely happy with. It's just sometimes so discouraging when I feel like no matter what I'm bad at everything. I have such a pessimistic mindset and I'm aware that I have it but it's like... So hard to shake, y'know? ; v ;

I'm happy but sad at the same time that someone would feel the same as I do. Happy to find a kindred spirits but sad that someone feels as down about themselves as I do bc it's not fun. At all. I'm so sorry.

Thank you for your advice though, like I definitely want to move in a direction that's more positive, mindset wise. I'll work on it. I hope the same for you! That life angles you in a direction you'd prefer and that you're able to feel more positive!!!
Thank you again. Sincerely! <3
