So this is my first time writing one of these...I guess I'm not normally the type of person who needs to ask for help outside of my family and friends, but I need another person's opinion on this.
Alright here it goes.

So I have a sister, we are both very close in ages, and height, even look similar, and over the phone our voices are the same. Family members regularly confuse us with each other, with wrong names, etc. And in the past people have given us the EXACT same gift, with maybe a different change in color.
We have never said anything about this before, because we both don't want to come out as ungrateful, however it's always annoyed us.

The same thing happened x10 this year at Christmas. Relatives gave us same scarves, makeup, clothing, etc.
Both of us are feeling the slightest bit irritated, and by that I mean a lot.

It's not so much the gifts, it's simply the fact that people treat us like we are the same person, and it's frustrating. I love my family, and will do anything to keep them together and happy, but how do I explain to them that my sister and I are NOT the same person?
Please send me a message if you have any ideas, because I really need some help.

I always recommend just expressing yourself, showing that you're your own person! Show what you like and who you are through music and clothing and I'm sure your family will come to realise that you are actually way different ahah c;

everything ive just devoted myself to in the last year jumped out a window. and i didn't really know how much sadness could hurt until now. it feels like something is twisting inside of my chest. it makes it hard to breathe.my throat is tight. i thought it might be asthma - that i was maybe overreacting - but its not. its the disappointment that i feel for someone. everything ive done for this person - it means nothing. and that really hurts. a lot more than id like it to. i can't tell them, because they aren't okay right now and who am i to even say that to their face? but ive done things said things, stuff i wouldn't do for anyone else - and it mean absolutely nothing. we fight for the people we love. we do things that hurt us to better their lives. i didn't think i'd lose this battle. but i just lost the whole damn war. im so distraught. nothing i say, nothing i do for them, it just makes them worse. the longer we're in touch with one another the more we seem to hurt one another. but imagining a life without them just hurts me more. where does the line between "i'll do anything for you" and "i need to think about myself" split us? ive worked so hard to keep their boat floating when my own was sinking. stayed up until sevem am to tell them that they matter to me, that their life is precious to me. but im sitting here with tears streaming down my face because i feel like i failed. like i personally shoved their boat beneath the water and i am the one thats gonna make her drown. i dont want to live in a world where we arent sharing it. my closest friend. the one person that knows me to the very core. the one person that is making me more sick than i can heal. i cant leave, i cant stay. my world consists of our conversation and everything we do together. we have novels that we've built together, a vision for our future when we get old, sitting on each others porches. i love her more than i could ever love a spouse. its a special love that shows me light to keep going, but every time i turn around the darkness it casts is so much greater than the dying candle in my hand. we make each other so sick - but if we dont have each other, what do we have? nothing. we have nothing.

i cant.

Hey sweetheart,
I know life throws a whole load of bullcrap and sometimes all you want to do is give up.

But I want you to know, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it takes days, months or even years, I promise I will make damn sure you get everything you deserve.

Don't stop fighting. Because you're a Winchester. And you know us, we never give up. We kick ass and move foward.

Sammy and I love you. And we will always be here for you. Keep your head up kiddo.

I've never watched Supernatural but this is making even me say "thanks, Dean". I needed this. Thank you <3

I'm always open to PMs if anyone needs advice or just needs to rant. <3 (Let me know which it is though... I've a tendency to give my opinion and advice unless you tell me explicitly that you don't want it!)

[critter]

I feel like utter crap. Im dealing with my depression and some days, its fine, others... I cant even walk out of my own room.

yesterday was horrible. we had christmas dinner at my grandma's house and she told me to bring my significant other.
what they dont know is that my significant other is a girl, and my original gender being a girl. (though i dont exactly
identify as any specific gender) i thought it might be okay, but i wasn't. i was kicked out of dinner and told never to
come back to my grandma's house again.

feel free to ignore







what's with adults thinking it's okay to treat their kids like complete trash? i don't live with my parents, it's just my aunt and uncle and this always happens sometime around christmas. something major happens with my cousin being a brat and me being at fault for it. my cousin doesn't like me and i don't like her but we have to put up with it. she freaks out over every small little thing, like if you touch her stuff. i touched her chair just to move it so i could get some of my christmas gifts out of the way and she SCREAMED at me. and then i get in trouble for something when i did nothing?? and later i just wanted to go to starbucks at this point (i've been dying to try it) and we didn't end up going and it ended up with my aunt pushing my uncle and calling me a (bad word) snot. she said, to be exact: "why do you always have to be a _ snot" bc i was impatient and wanted to leave without my uncle, AND HE SAID WE COULD?? so i don't know what i did wrong? please explain. but she never swears, only when she's mad.. and i have no idea what i truly did wrong here. like jesus, sorry i wanted to go somewhere. this is why i hate being at my house around christmas time. it's why i always spent it at my exes when we were together.
