Hey everyone!
I'm really sorry I can't talk to each of you about your problems- I wish I could, but I'm worried I'll accidentally miss someone and make them feel left out.
So, if you guys have any problems you need help with or just need a hug and some cookies, shoot me a pm c: My inbox is always open.
Just remember, even if it might now seem like it, things will always get better. It might take a while, but they really do. Trust me, three years ago my parents divorced, my cat and both guinea pigs died, my grandpa died, my dog was stolen, and all my friends randomly started to hate me because they blamed me for the fact my mom cheated on my dad. At the time, it felt like my entire life was falling apart and that nothing would ever be okay again. Everyone told me "stay strong, it get's better" but I was so sick of it, because it seemed like things would never get better for me.
Now, flash to three years later, I still do have a few emotional scars from it all, but overall things really HAVE gotten better. It took quite a while, sure, but it happened. So even though things feel hopeless, I'm serious. They'll improve.

Also, once again, just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has ever comforted me here. During said three years above I posted here a ton, and you guys were always there, never yelling at me to shut up and quit posting xD So, thanks for tolerating me then and helping me with the smaller problems I post about here now <3

ive become completely obsessed with drawing
It's literally all I do other than read. And since I finished my series, art has become my only option.
I don't really sleep much anymore, and I think it's because I'm thinking of what to draw, how to draw it or how to improve.
When I'm out of bed, I constantly have my tablet pen in my hand and I am always trying to find new stuff to draw in between my commissions
I'm always looking at art, trying to learn the best way to improve my work. I literally study pieces of art for long periods of time.
It's become a little crazy. I would rather draw than spend time with family or friends
And right now I just want to draw and I'm sitting in bed and studying my works of art on my phone trying to come up with ways to improve. Or new ideas that I could draw
Can someone just give me a hug? I just.. I need to calm my mind and maybe a hug will help

(Feel free to ignore this, I just needed to get this down somewhere and I do appreciate anyone who takes the time to read.)
I'm a Christian. My RL friends aren't, and the only other person I've met at this school or anywhere else who I could connect with spiritually graduated two years ago.. I honestly wouldn't mind so much if everyone, even my friends, didn't seem to interpret my being a Christian as their right to be disrespectful and hurtful..

A couple days ago, a few of my friends decided to engage in a full out conversation on how stupid Christians are for things like "making up a guy who created the world, when for all they know it could be a rabbit under the ground!" and laughing about how ridiculous our Holy Book is. While I was sitting right next to them. It seriously started bothering me and I interrupted, letting them know politely that I would really rather them change the subject at least while I was there. I added that I'd appreciate the same respect for my religion as I give to everyone else. I have never once brought up the fact that I don't believe in the religions that others are devoted to, never once commented on the "idiocy" of the aspects of other religions, or made anyone feel small for what they believe. One of my friends opened her mouth as if she was about to bring up some memory to prove my comment about me not disrespecting people to be wrong, but shut her mouth and rolled her eyes when she realized she had nothing to retort. The rest of the day was tense, and she basically ignored me for most of it. This really isn't the first time she has acted like this, and it's beginning to seriously sting.
This is the same friend who I've loyally stood by since <i>fourth grade.</i> The same friend who confessed that she was a lesbian, and received nothing but support from me. I attended our school's LGBT group with her to support her when she asked, until even they treated me like nothing when they found out my religion. When I told her about my issues at school, with bullying and my depression, and asked her if she could attend church with me just so I wouldn't be alone again around the people I've yet to get to know, she immediately blew me off. "Yeah I'm not religious." and changed the subject. I only wanted support, I had told her she wouldn't need to participate or pray or do anything she didn't want to.. She responded the same way, after acting concerned about my depression, when I told her that I wouldn't ever hurt myself, both due to my love for my family and reluctance to hurt them in any way, and my faith in God. My friends are great most of the time, but whenever I barely mention my religion they act horrid and I just feel snubbed..
She isn't the only one either. I wear a witness bracelet, and whenever I explain its meaning to someone who asks(apparently a few people have thought it means "down with God, up with gays" and wanted to share in the enthusiasm) they immediately give me a dirty look and stop talking to me. Cue the avoidance and talking behind my back.

Why in the world does my religion automatically make me a bad person, despite everything I've done that contradicts the horrible stereotypes that have developed? I've done everything I can to be as kind as possible to everyone, to portray the kind of Christian we all should be. I don't push my religion on anyone else or judge those who don't believe in the same faith, yet I'm criticised and made fun of for what I believe in. The strength, faith, and hope I've gained under Christ is hard to continue on with when I'm constantly being torn down by those who should be my supporters, and by people who don't even know me.. I love to learn about other religions, and I think it's enlightening to be friends with people with different beliefs and learn from them, even if I have complete faith in my own beliefs. I kinda just wish everyone else could take on a similar attitude..
I was raised to respect and love everyone, regardless of race, sexuality, appearance, religion, disabilities, or anything else. I was raised never to bully, and to always come to the defense of everyone who needs it. My father, my hero, is the one who taught me and raised me to treat everyone as I would hope to be treated. My father, from the "racist, sexist, homophobic" south. The law enforcement agent who has more than once risked his own life to save that of a stranger, gone towards a flaming car when everyone else fled because not everyone had gotten out. The former Marine who joined not because they are the bullies, but the bully killers. He wanted to defend any countries under attack, whether it be by terrorists or their own government, because that's how he saw the Marines. "All of my babies are healthy and beautiful and perfect. We need to make use of God's gift and everything he gave us by defending anyone who needs it and never letting anyone feel like they are anything less than perfect." That man is the epitome of everything the law enforcement, military, country, and population should be. Good people exist, and that's how I was raised. People don't need to treat people like trash just because their "kind" have done it before.

Yeah, some "Christians" have fouled up the name of our religion by acting on hate instead of love. Yeah, some religions and people have been attacked for no reason other than these "Christians" interpreting them as wrong. But why does that means those people can attack the few people who try to act the way God truly intended? Just because some so-called Christians have been hateful doesn't mean we aren't ever attacked too.. And when people accuse me of lying or begging for attention because I'm a Christian and "Christians don't get bullied/alienated/attacked" man that just hurts. :\
I'd really rather nobody replies things like,"Yeah well that's why you should hide your religion and keep it to yourself when people bring it up." I am not ashamed of my beliefs, and I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not.

I'm very sorry if any of this is insulting or offensive to anyone for any reason, I truly just wanted to get this out somewhere.. Again I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this.
