//small rant ahead//
I've been sort of feeling down recently. It's not like me.

I guess I've just realized it's the time in life where everyone is finding their interest, developing skills, and making new friends to get ready for the future. Everyone has something they're into. One of my friends plays piano, is into three sports (and made school teams for all three), and is amazing at art and writing. Another has marching band, a ridiculous amount of extra classes, and tons of leadership camp experience. And while they're all achieving their personal goals and building their own confidence, I'm here. A useless lump in a chair. I really want to be good or at least get a shot at something, but my parents pretty much quit me out of everything I got to try. I did gymnastics when I was six (dropped after a few classes), played three instruments (I do none now), and my parents never really thought girls did any sports except dancing (which I refused to do) until now. I've got not one extracurricular, and I'm still not meeting the standards I've set myself for some of my classes. I don't have a single thing that'll look respectable on my resumé. I don't know what to do.

I did try out for a sport in sixth grade. It was volleyball, and I almost made it, but the coach didn't like me for some reason and I got cut on the last round. But back then, sports teams were just for fun and everyone who tries out now is respectable. On top of that, tryouts now require you to be a certain speed at running the mile, and I'm the slowest runner you'll ever meet compared to others in my grade. (for girls, 7-8 minutes is the general range. I'm at 9, but I used to be able to run 8:15s). I've sort of been scared to play volleyball ever since. I don't think I'll get anywhere with that.

The only thing I have (kind of) going for myself is my writing. It's at least readable, but it's not good enough. Due to homework and upcoming finals, I've been writing less and less, and now my writing is complete trash. But I'm not getting anywhere with it. It's just a hobby now; not something I can be proud of.

I'm also thinking of joining orchestra next year. My violin I haven't touched for five years is still laying around, and I really want to do something that'll look decent.

Any advice?

//end rant//
I'm so sorry that was so long and my thought points are so disconnected to each other.
I'd appreciate any advice <3

finding something that makes me happy is great. then my brain feels the need to remind me that a bunch of people i cared about died this year and decided to have a dream that they died to. i've never been more affected by a dream in my life. im just really shaken up.

I honestly can't deal with anything right now
I can't sleep now because I get tired around 8, and so I could try and finish my homework I drank some coffee, but it didn't start working until around 11, so I did my homework while half asleep, and I'm sure I did an awful job along with not even finishing a quarter of my math or the project that is due tomorow and I'm so tired right now but I literally just cannot fall asleep. So it looks like I won't get any sleep at all tonight, and I have to go to work in a few days which I'm so nervous about I literally feel sick and I have another project due on that day too.

Ugh it's just been nonstop class homework and projects and my new job is so stressful. I feel awful. I just want a hug.

I'm tired of this. Being forced to either become a complete rebel or being forced to be the stereotypical girly-girl. One side is saying I know no sorrow since I'm not like them. Being laughed at by the others since I'm not like them. Don't wanna be black or white, I can't be the rebel or the rule maker. I wanna be me. But apparently I can't be depressed yet not change who I am. And my friend and I got lectured and told to die because we said evil was live spelt backwards. The guidance counselor said we'd be friends. She joins in sometimes with the mocking. I don't wanna change who I am for people but I can't stand more pain.

I feel the same way, at my school your pretty much forced to be a rebel unless your on the monosory. But if you wear gold chains saying ''on fleek'' or ''cash'' your apparently safe from all that rebel biz. I don't understand how it works but It dose hurt. But it won't last forever. One day you will be able to leave that school and go somewhere else where you can be yourself. those kids will regret it.
Trust me they will. If you ever need a friend to talk to about this stuff Im here Im going through the same thing Bye

having anxiety and depression sucks. On the one hand, you don't care about your grades because life

seems so meaningless and on the other you stress about studying enough and doing well because life is not meaningless. Ugh.
It also sucks feeling guilty every time you eat. Not being able to sleep. Having to pretend to be happy.

Somebody with tumblr please message me. Link in signature. X

Firstly, Friend A copied my song for singing test, especially when she knows she sings better than me
Secondly, Friend B spread the word that I was mad, after I confided in her and told her not to tell
Thirdly, the whole world's judging

I'm so sick of being compared to Friend A. I really am. So I confided in a friend, whom immediately spread the word to her, which was simply adding fuel to the fire.

It's not her fault, I know. It's just every time I have a competition with A the whole class just pulls me aside and tells me to "Beat A." It's very stressful, no good for my performance and I lose every time. Then I feel depressed for disappointing my peers. I just wish other people would put away their popcorn and stop comparing the two of us. Especially when I'm slightly worse and insecure. Thank you.

I come home to find my bed completely dug up, all of my pillows, toys, stuff all over my bed and the floor.
I confront my dad about it. I mean, what the hell. Why would he himself, or let my brother do anything like that.
I mean noo, I don't need any privacy. Sure just go trough all my stuff, why should I care, right?
His tone was pissing me off and I was yelling at him, and he just laughed at my frustration and now I'm crying bc I cant deal with him????
I don't even know what to do, he doesn't respect me or my private space at all, and if I even bring it up to him, he says that I go trough his stuff too (I don't??) and if I say anything about my stuff being mine, he says nothing I own is mine because I live with him or some crap like that. Not like he's given me any money at all in the last 7 or so years nah. Sure just go trough all my freaking stuff and take whatever the hell you want. Why should I care.

And if I say anything to my mom, she'll just blame me, and say I should "at least try to get along with him" or something and I just
ugh
I need my space
I need privacy
I need parents that dont freaking go trough my stuff, make a mess and dont even bother to put any of it back..

I'm so frustrated please help I dont know what to do

My roommate is driving me insane. Everyday she immediately goes "good morning! I had the worst sleep!" and proceeds to tell me, quite cheerily, how she woke up at 4am and couldn't move and then went back to sleep.

You want to know how I slept? How I've been sleeping this semester? I have not gotten a full night's sleep. Last night was the worst. My other very inconsiderate roommate left her lamp on, a lamp that is practically as bright as the overhead lights, until she was ready to fall asleep. Which was not until after 3am. So naturally, being the incredibly light sleeper I am for some reason, I was also up until after 3am. When she finally turned it off, after she finished loudly eating her apple, I finally drifted to sleep.

Only to be woken up at 6:30am by this same roommate who was getting ready to go out all day, I don't even know what she was doing but my other roommate seems to know and she won't tell me and won't tell me when she'll be back. So of course I was up at 6:30, and I couldn't go back to sleep until 8am.

And it doesn't end there. My other roommate's alarm went off at 9am. Yup, I was awake then too. Except instead of either turning it off or getting up, she just decides to set it for 10am. So I fell back asleep a little later, only to be woken. Again. And then I managed to catch another hour or so, waking up when she shakes the bed getting in and out of the bottom bunk (I'm on the top) and her swearing when she can't find what she needs.

I am running off of sleep deprivation, insomnia, and today running off of about 4-5 hours of sleep. And that, added on to me not having a full night's sleep since... August, my mood is suffering. And my roommate has to try and be the good guy and give me solutions. No, I already told you I can't nap. I can hear everything going on and I am positive you won't be quiet if I nap. Because you never are. You watch Netflix without headphones, I don't even think you own headphones. Doesn't matter if the other roommate is gone for the day, because you seem to think only she is the problem. You are still here, and the suitemates are still here, and I can hear it and I wake up whenever someone goes into the bathroom.

I'm done. So done. I don't want to hear about her sleeping troubles anymore. I can't get more than 6 hours of sleep a night, and while I can function fine, I'm still exhausted every. single. day.

Sorry for the rant so soon after my previous one, but I am just so tired. Tired because I can't sleep, tired because these roommates never listen, tired of one certain roommate trying to get me to go everywhere when she wants me to, tired of people in general because they're all a bunch of backstabbing jerks.

-_-

I don't own this but
I say all of you should look at it.
Because, to be honest, it's a bit inspirational, and very true.
Also, there is a swear warning, but only if you actually look under the images.
