Heh, I don't think I have ever used this thread before. Just having a bad week I guess. Between my dad and some of the more aggravating people of our species.... They all drive me nuts. Sigh. Oh well, so much for a rant... I have to go before the WiFi turns off on me.

 ѕolanιne | 9090 comments -sigh- I just had an eye doctor appointment after I realized my vision got worse, even with glasses, I just got them in February so they said my right eye seems to be worsening very fast. They said if my right eye gets any worse by March then they're going to have to slow the process down, my mom thinks that means surgery.... I hope not.

 ѕolanιne | 9090 comments Honestly, does anyone know how to respect their teachers anymore? I just about smacked a classmate last block because they were being so disrespectful towards the teacher.

Thanks for making me feel 'loved.'

Whoever it is, what he says doesn'tmatter. You need to know you're a great person. First of all, block him again. Delete those texts. Now remember that people love you and they have a reason to do so.

Muffin  ~I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME~ | 3280 comments Thank you.. It's nice to know y'all love me.

I re-blocked him, and my friend from school even messaged him about what he did. I was already really sensitive that day, and he didn't help.

I am scared and I want to laugh and cry at the same time. It isn't even dark outside yet and I am eighteen now. Still, no one is home with me and a couple weeks ago, my house was full of mice- thanks to next door. And I keep hearing little noises around the house and my mind keeps returning to the Tim Burton movie about the murderous barber who is seeking revenge. Also, I just did the dishes and all the steak knives were in there. :(


imashamedofmyoldreviews (pleasedontjudgeme_ichanged) We all have those moments. I'll be alone at home, just chilling, and suddenly there's this random sound and I'm scared out of my wits. Then I tell myself I'm supposed to be equipped enough to handle this and not be afraid of these tiny and insignificant things. But noooo. I remain scared.

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
Well, heh, I guess I wasn't clear on all the reasons why I was feeling paranoid around the knives and thinking of Sweeney Todd. Well, for about a year, I was depressed. Enough apparently, that my parents thought that maybe medication might be an option. I guess I was heading in that direction for a few years, but my grandparents both passing away so close together in time and stress from all quarters- home, school, music...

Anyway.... There were moments that I just wanted to end it. I am getting better now, but I still have moments where I feel uncomfortable around things like knives when doing the dishes.

I don't know if you guys all have seen Sweeney Todd, but there is a lot of blood, because the main character is a barber that decides to take his revenge by slitting throats with his razor. And those scenes in which people are killed... They still give me that strange feeling.

Why now in particular is because a couple days ago my music private lesson teacher brought in a book of Sweeney Todd music for me to look at.


imashamedofmyoldreviews (pleasedontjudgeme_ichanged) I'm not sure I love my mother even though she's not one of those "bad parents". In any big way.
But it was always the small things that mattered most to me.
There's so many things I cannot write it all down. One of them is that I've become too observant and my observations lead me not to like her. I think. I'm not sure. You can't just stop loving someone you've loved all your life. Ughhh I,don't know what to do. I already hate my father because he is definitely bad. I don't even count him as my parent.
If I don't love my mom, then there's no person I love in the world. And that's just bad.


Muffin  ~I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME~ | 3280 comments They're my stars. But they seem to be putting out by someone. I didn't know who until now. She's just worried about me drifting away from God. But let me live a little! I don't want to be so sheltered! My life is sh*t! I've run out of meditation, and it's coming back to me. Act. Acting. It's like I have two sides. My happy/weird side, Then my depressed and etc other side. I don't know what to do. I don't want this. I'm so confused, and just.... Sh*t.

(Am I allowed to cuss here? Oops! Sorry!)


Muffin  ~I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME~ | 3280 comments I don't know what's wrong with me...
I've been crying so much. And most of it is for no reason!
I swear I'm going crazy....
Ugh...


Muffin  ~I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME~ | 3280 comments Also, what doesn't help is now one of my teachers always gives me anxiety now.
I've cried about 10 times in 2 weeks....


imashamedofmyoldreviews (pleasedontjudgeme_ichanged) Me about 3-4 years ago, too. One thing, you're not going crazy. And you just want to stop crying because crying feels bad but you're feeling bad and that's why you're crying. Been there. Just do something to distract you for a long time. Then maybe you'll start returning to your ordinary state.

God, I hate when people demean other people. It is basically a passive aggressive way of telling people they are stupid. I swear my dad does that to everyone. People he is trying to help out and give charity. People he is close to- for example, my siblings, my mom, me... Everyone who takes a different view from him in politics. Everyone who believes in other things other than christianity.

These days, he is worse. Especially since before the election.

Can you please stop with the sarcasm? This thread is supposed to be for people to vent. If you don't like it, I would suggest you not read people's posts in this thread.


message 276: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments Yeah in my city Catholics and Christians used to be really bad. They all used to demean me. For some reason, as the years went by, they started calming down a bit and I was accepted more. Maybe just give it some time? Everyone is going crazy after this election, it will get worse until next year, I believe. In the future though, maybe your dad will calm down. The election was given a lot of hype and wrongful news. People are outraged. Once that all dims down though, I believe he will calm down a little bit to? I hope it all ends up going well for you!

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
Maybe he will.... But he kind of has always has been that way. Most people can't tell that he is demeaning them, because they don't know him very well. But I don't know... He is becoming more demeaning with each year. Part of it is probably because of age (He heading towards his fifties in a few more years.)

Sometimes, I think it would be so much simpler if my parents were not Christians, because if they were not, then they probably would have filed for divorce years ago. It seems like sometimes my dad uses Christianity to basically say that everyone else doesn't know any better. He makes it sound like only he and his god know better.


message 278: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments Mid-life crisis maybe? Happens to everyone! Do you believe in another religion or just something else in general? That kind of attitude and stuff is very toxic. It can bring people down. I can see how it can seem like a problem. Maybe just try to let go slowly? Distance yourself just a little bit? Are you planning on moving out of there anytime soon? When you live with people, even parents, things they do just bug you sometimes. I dont know... I only know bits of your situation so I can't say anything but I am a believer of things getting better in the future so I would say just hold out as best as you can. Things WILL get better!

Well, my immediate family is Christian- except for my brother and me. For about a year and a half, we had been going through pressure from all different quarters- school, music, family. So we grew up in a Christian family, but we kind of both decided we didn't believe in it. And I am taking a year off from school this year, since I graduated last summer.


message 280: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments Well it is your guys' life and you may choose to believe what you want to. If they can't accept it, than I guess too bad. Just don't let them push you around about it. Just make sure you stand up for yourself when that kind of stuff comes up. Are you planning on going out of town for school?

Thanks. Um... I'm not sure yet. I might end up going somewhere within a couple hours away from home. What about you? Are you in high school?

Oh, cool. What is your major? I originally wanted to study creative writing, but I haven't been able to bring myself to write anything new since a couple years ago.


message 284: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments I majored in criminal justice. Creativr writing! That's pretty cool! What do you want to do with that degree? Be an author? joirnalist?

I want to be a freelance writer. Most of my writing during the last few years is narrative poetry. I thought that I might also minor in music too. I was thinking of using my experience with chamber music to play for gigs as an amateur musician. What about you?


message 286: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments Those both sound awesome! I think you should definitely do those! Me? Nothing special. I'm hoping I can move to Colorado next summer and become a police officer. As far as my career goes, I'd really just like to do anything that would involve helping people. I would definitely like to get out of my city as well. I was supposed to do things with music as well, but right now I consider it a hobby.


message 287: by wallflower, Daughter of Metis (new)

wallflower | 15660 comments Mod
Cool. There are many careers you could pursue to help people? What made you choose to become a police officer? Lol Actually, I met my best friend in my freshman year and she wanted to become a firefighter originally. For me, music is more than a hobby. I grew up with it and I learned how to play for about ten and a half years, so I thought playing music might be a good way to bring in a little more money.


message 288: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments Yes there are. It's all up to what I want to do, though. The biggest thing that made me want to be an officer is they are directly involved with people and communities. FBI and CIA and all that other stuff just doesn't feel all that well to me because you're not affecting the people directly. Officers are always the first ones there on call. You don't hear about FBI agents going to a suicide call and stopping a person from doing it. I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel like I make a bigger difference as an officer. I had wanted to be a firefighter but they get almost the same calls throughout their entire career. As a cop, it can be a suicide call, or helping a wife from her abusive husband, or even little things like helping a child get on the right track or helping a cat that's stuck on a tree lol. I'm just passionate about helping people. That's great! I've been involved with music for 15 years but my problem is the things I do are more mainstream. So they're more like hits or misses. Taking a big chance to try to make it type of stuff. What did your bestfriend end up wanting to be? you said she wanted to be a firefighter? What does she want to do now? Are there any other musically involved careers you'd be interested in doing if given the opportunity? I would definitely say to do something with music. It is an art, and art is amazing especially when you're the one making it. Any art is a fantastic career as far as loving what you do goes.


Muffin  ~I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME~ | 3280 comments I'm literally crying over Homestuck... Yay.

That's great and amazing. I wouldn't be brave enough to do all of those things. Lol Police officers still help cats down from trees?

My best friend is in the army and wants to study computer engineering. She barely made it in, because she had to be at least a hundred pounds and she is really skinny and not very tall. Lol Yeah, first day I met her was pretty memorable for me. Scrawny girl with very long hair wanting to become a firefighter.

I think my music private lesson teacher and my dad secretly kind of want me to teach music. I have tried teaching my peers and younger kids in the past, but I kind of don't have the patience and peace of mind to do that. I wanted to play music for weddings. I can sing and play violin and viola. I am also trying to pick up piano. I don't really want anything too intense, because there is politics in music just like in any other career.


message 291: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments More or less I believe they still do lol.

That's great! How is she liking the army so far? How long has she been in the army?

I hear you with not having patience! A wedding singer wouldn't be too bad. I'm surprised you know a viola and violin and not the piano yet. You're so lucky you can sing! I wish I could sing! Would do the weddings as a career or just like a side job type thing? You are right about the politics, though. As far as music goes you can do so much! There are so many options with it. Is it just kids you don't have the patience for? You could do just adult classes to teach people to play.

She really enjoys the training. Lol Most of her training at first was during the summer, but last year, they trained every weekend when they didn't have school.

Weddings would be as a side career. I thought I said that, but I am so tired that maybe I thought I did and I didn't? Lol Anyway... I don't think you told me what you played. I also sing Broadway music and I am learning some arias now. Well, sometimes the problem is I am teaching people my age, which makes it harder. (One example of politics) I have worked with younger kids too, but that doesn't always work out either.

Sigh. I have to go. Exhausted and I have to eat dinner. I guess I will talk to you tomorrow.

Benjamin Roche-Cordova | 1766 comments That's awesome! Is she still in your city or was she stationed somewhere else?

I play all orchestra instruments. I play the piano and I'm learning to play the guitar. I don't know why I'm learning the guitar because I can't sing with it anyway lol. Do you live in a big city or a small town? I feel like big cities would give you the problems you have. Maybe when you go to school, you can start teaching some people there. School kids, most of the time, can't wait to learn something new. You sing Broadway?! Wow! Yeah, I would definitely look to do something with music.

Okay well you have a good night! I'll talk to you tomorrow.

All orchestra instruments? Lol Maybe if you cloned yourself, you could have a full orchestra. Lol I learned piano in my sophomore year for a semester and I loved it. I lucked out because my private music teacher also teaches piano. I have been taking lessons from her for all ten and a half years. I kind of started liking acoustic guitar recently. I usually don't like too much pop music, but I kind of like mash-ups on acoustic guitar. Lol My brother also is trying to find a way to pick up the bass guitar. Lol Do you have trouble singing because you just haven't had the lessons or because you literally just have trouble carrying a tune? You can always try taking lessons for it.

I live in New York City. Lol So yeah, I live in a relatively big city. Although I live in Brooklyn, which everyone is trying to turn into Manhattan. Yeah, maybe I will. Tomorrow, I am supposed to babysit these girls and hopefully, it will lead to a tutoring job.

Lol Yeah, I sing Broadway and my teacher wants me to sing some opera. I also sang some gospel music in school when I was still going to Catholic school.

This is probably completely random, but for adding a story about how you met a Goodreads friend, there should not be any options saying "fate brought us together" and "we hooked up." The first one is just cheesy and the second.... Well, I think that should be kept personal- rather than on the Internet. That is just awkward and weird that Goodreads would have that as an option.
