~Look Down, You're Talking to Your Highness~[R]




Mom also said that maybe I should just try to find my own happiness in life instead of constantly trying to rely on others to give me happiness. But what even makes me happy? How can I find out what makes me happy? There is so much I have never experienced that I’ll likely never get a chance to experience. But what if those things make me happy? How will I ever know?
Mom said I might have depression since things like these always upset me greatly and put me in a fog. Not even in the sense of throwing a tantrum or whatever, but in the sense of just being upset and empty. Like a shell. I told her there is no way I have depression just because I’m sad sometimes but she’s pretty sure I have it especially since it’s herediary I think and that I shouldn’t be ashamed. But I'm pretty sure I don’t have it. There are so much more clues than just being sad a lot, and I’m not even sad that much!
Who can I even talk to about this? About any of this? Or just in general? I don’t know what happened to my best friend. I couldn’t access her FaceBook profile through Messenger. I hope she hasn’t left me cut off from any social contact with her forever....There’s my FaceBook RP partner Sarah, but I don’t like getting incredibly personal with her. Then there are my friends on here, but hardly anyone comments on my journals even when I need them too. I’m not sure how Sera would react to this. Haaley would probably say I did this to myself or something. Hunter would likely be no help and might depress me further, or maybe he’d enlighten me? He’s a coin toss of a person sometimes and I never know what I will get with him. Maya might be good, but I’m worried about burdening her further with my own stuff. I’m not sure I’m close enough to people like Lorien. And I don’t really want to take this to my mom again.
Right now I just feel so...devoid of any emotion. I was really mad and upset earlier and I was crying and everything, but now I just literally feel nothing. All of this started simply because I asked Mom how the plans for tomorrow were coming along.
It’s not that I don’t want to find my own happiness, it’s just that I feel at a loss. I genuinely feel like I’m not sure what will keep me happy. I don’t know what to do right now. I can feel happy for a little bit, but I want to feel happy longer. I want back that euphoric high I got at the start of October. I want to feel like I’m soaring above everything again.
What will make me happy? I don’t know and I hate how I have no answer. I need to find my own happiness but how?

I think searching for happiness could be a good idea. Do some soul searching, you learn more about who you are and what you want out of this life. Whether it's you believe it to be you only one or one of many, it should still have meaning.
I've talked to people with depression and they say it's not just being sad. It can be feeling empty, feeling valueless, lost, alone..it's many different things. Whether you have it or not I'm not professional enough to say but that could be a possibility.
I feel bad I depress you at times ((though I'm not sure how)), but I feel happy I can help to enlighten you. That's what I want.
Maybe you should look for new hobbies? Sometimes doing the same thing for so long grows stale and the joy fades so people need a new experience to breathe life into their...life.

Sometimes I feel like that. I feel lonely and unappreciated a lot of the time. But surely everyone feels like that sometimes especially in this day and age.
What new hobbies though? I genuinely enjoy the ones I already have and I feel like a lot of the other things I’m good at or want to try are either too expensive or unavaible to me. Like I really want to garden more but there are no gardens near here and we don’t have the resources or money for an indoor one.

Maybe later on I'll get a job, like when I'm a sophomore or junior in college and I'm more familiar with how things work. But certainly not when I'm a freshman.

Good idea. I don't know if i could do both >.<

So how did I even get them? That's the question that baffles me the absolute most. All I can tell you is that my class had a swimming unit. I did not have scabies until a few weeks into the swimming unit. I did not share towels or anything like that with anyone. I did not touch anybody for a prolonged period of time. I don't even recall getting close to anyone during that unit. They started on my stomach but that part of my body is never touched by anyone or anything. I most certainly didn't have sex and scabies can't survive in chlorinated water anyway I don't think.
How did I even get them? How did this even happen? I was the only one in my family who got affected. Believe me, I would've known if anybody else had gotten them. I asked my friends at the time if they had scabies since I stayed over at their houses, but they didn't have them. I am not a dirty person either, not at all. We have water for bathing and stuff like that.
Scabies are actually insects. That means they must've come from something, someplace, or someone else. But everytime I try to put the pieces together, I just get more and more puzzled. By all accounts, I should have not gotten scabies because nowhere was I ever in a position to get them. And yet I did. But why?

Would you believe me if I told you it took me 15 minutes to choose the font and the shade of pink? Especially the shade of pink. Initially the heading was supposed to look different but that one didn't work out like I wanted it to due to not having enough time on my hands but listen, when I plan something, everything has to be perfect no matter what so here you go *dabs forehead with handkerchief because editing sure is harder than it looks*
A banner doesn't really count so I'm saying it here: happy birthday Elizabeth!
Oh? Not what you were expecting? Here let me fix it.
Oh?? You thought? :D Lol have you met me? :DDD
BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO CLOSE THE TAB WAIT. Yes I just blessed you with a crack ship but hey you decided to be my friend so technically you signed up for this and also admit it they look kinda cute :3
(Okay if they actually are childhood-ruining just keep in mind that in attempting to push your buttons I had to put them here and look at them while writing and editing this message and even though Alois and Lizzy are both beautiful people the gifs had high exposure and it was night time so my own retinas are still kinda burnt)
I don't remember when we actually started talking, but I know you used to leave comments on my thread after I sh*tposted a meme or something (usually really dumb ones) Honestly you're an amazing person did you know?? I love being able to tell you stuff and discuss about little things ranging from anime to manga to life in general. I love how straightforward you are and how we can have different opinions and views but still be able to shake hands at the end of a discussion. I also know that once I discover something you [may] have a common interest in I come barging into your thread (or my thread) and spreads a blanket on the grass before taking a mic and rambling away. Sorry for all the times I went like 'ELIZABEETHH!!!' before shoving paragraphs in your face.
You're a funny person, and I mean it in a good way. I don't know, you can drop a sentence while we're talking and I'll be here trying not to laugh out loud in public while looking at my screen, be it mobile or laptop. You know how people then go like "hey what are you looking at" or "who is it you're talking to? What did they say?" Yeah that. I think I also look up to you in some ways? How you're just you and you speak your mind (at least on here) and you stand for what you think is right, and I really think you deserve a teddy bear.
^About Kanato. Listen I'm gonna be honest with you because it's possible for me to do that with you and I really appreciate it. It's been so long since I watched Diabolik Lovers and look, I wasn't a fan. At all. Maybe it's because I've never been big on harem, or because I was freakin 12 and the whole time I was like 'what are they doing to her WHAT is haPPeniNG. Is she going to die?'
FIRST HAREM WATCHED SCARRED ME FOR LIFE, MAN. I remember I didn't like any of the brothers and I just wanted the girl to escape lmao😂 But for some reason my heart was always a little soft for Kanato, even now, and it's funny because usually anything bordering on yandere-ish don't work for me (it's not the work itself, just the stereotypical traits and all that) Not labeling him as yandere though, I refuse to. It's something else but I only know the term for this type of character in Chinese and google translate is laughable. Also I don't have any memory of what happened at the end, and I didn't watch season 2 either.
I think this is becoming anime talk when clearly I should be writing a birthday post, oops. I don't know what plans you have today but no matter what I hope the sun shines on you! If you're bored, do something that you like, because everyone deserves to be happy on their birthday and I hope you get yourself cake, or any other dessert should you have other preferences. Too expensive? Even a slice from a local convenience store helps, and you get to choose for yourself!! Okay I don't actually know how cakes are in stores in the US because over here a small slice of cheesecake from 7-11 costs approximately 1 dollar but my main point is, get yourself something that'll help you feel better.
I know I'm not online much but if you ever need to get your feelings out you can always talk to me, be it on my thread or a PM. You can even spam me if you want, you have no idea how I text irl. I don't always know how to help and I'm far from wise but I like listening to what people have to say, and I'll try my best to cheer them up. You don't have to feel like you're burdening me, I know I have stuff of my own going on over here and things are always a mess but I've been cleaning them up for years now and trust me, I can take a hit. I'm also willing to find time to sit down and talk to someone. AND I love being a help, at all times. So if you ever want to reach out to someone, I'm just a few tabs away.
I suck at art and I've never written a fic before but if you want I can try my best to write one and dedicate it to you ^^ if it's a mutual pairing; not because I judge or I'm not willing to do research, just that my pet peeve is OOC-ness and if I want to give something to someone, everything has to be perfect like I said before and I need to nail that perfect characterization, which means I have to know the character and actually get the chemistry and all that. BUT I'M WILLING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING AS A PRESENT OK.
This message is probably taking up too much space on your thread but I feel like I can't end it without our shared OTP. I'm going to grace you with one of my favourite, canon manga panels of all time to brighten your day and my own day because lol you thought my intentions were all that pure? This whole thing could just be an excuse to get to this point, ever thought about that? Hmmmm? :3
Just kidding. Voilà~ such soft kids. Ciel needs to learn to hug her backif he ever gets the chance YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE
This might as well be the worst birthday message you've ever received and the worst one I've ever written yet here we all are! Congratulations on finishing it, I hope you have an awesome day and feel better soon *hugs*![]()

Dear Liz,
Happy Birthday, Liz. I hope you enjoy the game. If you need anything, just come to me. I can't always help, I know..but I want to be there for you.
Enjoy,
Hunter
Awwwww <3 I was really happy to see this in my email earlier

Would you believe me if I told you it took me 15 minutes to choose the font and the shade of pink? Especially the shade of pink. Initially the heading was supposed to look different but that one ..."
THIS. THIS. LITERALLY JUST ALL OF THIS.
I have probably read this thing fifty times by now and it has taken me about fifteen minutes to even type this out because I'm crying and smiling at the same time like some kind of super-emotional idiot because this is honestly one of the best birthday messages I have ever gotten in my life. And I honestly don't even know how to properly respond to this, I don't even know where to begin. But I need to respond to it to let you know I read it, right? But I'm worried it'll ruin it in someway lol
The font is really pretty by the way!
Alois/Lizzy is totally my most favourite crackship, like I genuinely ship them for real, how did you know?! Lol
I honestly think we met because you were talking originally about your parents or something and I chimed in with a similar experience, but I was kinda nervous since I assumed you were one of those people originally who didn't really like non-friends commenting on their journals lol after that I usually just commented on something you said I had experience with or a funny meme you posted since you posted a lot of funny things on your journal back in the day. But I love how you come in randomly and share common interests! I have a lot of friends on here but you're one of the few people I feel like I can genuinely just unwind and have a nice chat with. And that's something that deserves to be appreciated since I think everyone needs a friend like that.
I make you laugh? Really? Lol well thank you. And I'm also glad you like the fact that I speak my mind, since I do it a lot in my real life too and it's not really as appreciated? Like I think you can speak your mind but still not be rude or anything like that, you're just...telling it how it is I guess is a good way to put it. So to hear that you not only appreciate it but also look up to me in a way really warms my heart because I've never really seen myself as the sort of person that someone should strive to be. I don't really think anyone has ever looked up to me, really. So that's why I'm kinda not really sure how to react to it lol
Haha my mom really doesn't like the anime version, the actual games are so much better. But it was the thing that got us both interested in stuff like that and she has to agree Kanato is one of the better characters in that series lol I think the term you might be looking for is 'yangire' they're like yanderes but instead of being obsessive over someone they love, they act sweet and cute but tend to have an abusive backstory that makes them snap in some osrt of way in the story. I think Kanato fits that better. Another example would be Suzuya from Tokyo Ghoul if you've seen/read that series haha And I could totally be wrong on that too, that's just what I thought you were referring to.
But I don't mind talking about anime with you!! Lol I was just thinking about going to the library today for my birthday. I don't even know if I'll get any books, but I always feel happy when I go there. I'm just going to dress up in my absolute best, or maybe even cosplay, and even put this crown that I have for some reason on top of my head and not even care what others say! It's my birthday and I'm the birthday queen! I can do whatever I want!
That certainly made me feel better just by reading that. I don't really like bothering people with my things if they have other more serious stuff going on in their lives; I always feel like I'm just...you know, being whiny or something. But I'll still try to talk to you whenever I'm feeling down because I feel like a part of me feels the way I do is because I don't really talk to my friends much about my own problems. But I do genuinely want to change that and get better.
Lol what mutual pairings do we have? I'm not asking that in some kind of mean way, I'm genuinely curious because the only one I can think of currently is CielxElizabeth but I just know we have more than that, at least one more, but I'm drawing a blank
lol
Also that picture is just <3
This is one of the best birthday messages I've ever received, I said that already though, hush girl don't think such things. Seeing this literally brightened up my sleepless morning and now I'm feeling confident enough to actually go out and do something for my birthday, even if I never actually...do anything if you know what I mean.
I feel like I should've added GIFs to this too....lol should I? Or just leave it as is? I feel like it's so much plainer in comparison to your lovely message
Also this is really long but I still get the feeling it still doesn't trump yours in terms of length lol
Seriously, you have no idea how much my day was brightened just by seeing this. This is one of the things I not only wanted to see but also sorely needed and you didn't just deliver in spades, you delivered in the whole darn card deck. So thank you so much, if only you could see the huge smile I have on my face right now, knowing that you did this to me!
Thank you so much for this amazing message. Just thank you.

But as that is impossible, I had to change it so her mom was an Iranian scientist who created the time-travel technology and her dad was an Egyptian pharaoh she met on her travels. But another YA book did something similar to that. And this time, a rogue time traveler is going around erasing different parts of other time travelers’ histories, making it so they were never born and the main character ends up as one of their targets.
I guess that’s pretty unique but I’m still not sure how I feel about it. My original idea fit the main character much better because she is quirky and totally would get herself pregnant with herself. But now it is a circumstance out of her own control just like all of the other misadventures in the rest of her series.

How was your birthday? I hope it went well. I'm really happy you liked my message, and I'm sorry it made you teary! Alois/Lizzy is my favourite crackship too, be it platonic or romantic. Platonic is cute ok.
Lol you don't have to add GIFs or anything, your response was everything and it brightened my own day yesterday, right after I had a fight with my dad. Just know that it brought a smile to my face and all my anger vanished right off the bat. I stopped posting a lot of memes and edits on my journal cuz I thought they would appear stupid to whoever wanders in by chance, but if someone else finds them as funny or entertaining as me, I'm super grateful and I've decided that I'll just be myself once again xD
JUUZOU SUZUYA IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN TOKYO GHOUL, how did you know?!
Mutual pairings? I'm sure we have them. This is harder to get into than expected, I guess we'll find out after fandom talk or something, no hurries. Oh and also this is unrelated but recently I fell deeply for a pairing that has 1% likelihood of becoming canon, and I don't understand why my ships always, always sink or end badly.
(I'm also so happy I can talk to you about pairings without sounding like some weird fangirl and I feel no shame that I have a shipper heart on your thread)
I feel like this response is super short compared to yours but just so you know, I don't want you to feel like it's your responsibility to type back lengthy stuff :) Also your words meant so much to me, YOU DON'T KNOW. I was a mess but in a good way, and I really appreciate your effort in answering to so many things. I'm super incoherent at this point and my message was just me rambling so I'm really confused that it even helped, but if you say so then ahaha yay! :P


Me: "Well I think the Russian Empire did some really wonderful things for the nations it took over-"
People on GoodReads: "OMG how dare you say such a thing!!!! You are such a racist colonist piece of scum!!! Don't you know that people DIED underneath the rule of bigger empires? I can't believe you have the nerve to even write a book!! Shoving your 'opinions' down other peoples' throats, just go die! You're only okay with stuff like that because you're white!! F**k off and die, colonist!!!"
Me:


Would you believe me if I told you it took me 15 minutes to choose the font and the shade of pink? Especially the shade of pink. In..."
It was okay I guess. I ended up waking up too late so I wasn't able to go to the library but I did manage to get some chocolate doughnuts for myself, so I thought that was a good thing.
You should post more memes again! At least, I think you should. It is still your own journal after all and you have control over it, it's just a suggestion of mine.
BECAUSE GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE GIRL
Same here. I don't even know what pairing you're talking about but I feel you. Almost all of my pairings across my fandoms tend to be pairings that I originally shipped as a joke but then found out they have some good moments together or even just the potentional to be good. Like I recently fell in love with the idea of Joanne and Sieglinde together thanks to a Black Butler pairings fanfic; I think they wrote that ship as a request or something. Mom said they'd be great together since she headcanons Joanne as being half-German. And I'm also playing around with the idea of an ElizabethxJoanne pairing. I love a lot of the Elizabeth ships in the fandom and I randomly started thinking on it one day and I thought Elizabeth with Joanne would be a super cute ship since she's really sunshiney and happy and could help him break out of his shell, even if she potentially overwhelmed him a bit at first.
You're one of the few people I can openly talk about my ships with too, so thank you for that!
Then this response is even shorter, lol! I just like responding to stuff like this so that you know I received it and enjoyed it :D

*Looks at all of American history*



Imperialism can actually be good for both parties. I have yet to see an example of colonialism that didn't completely screw over the colony. I know some people would say America, but really? I mean, we didn't fight a war for no reason



I CAN DRINK WHATEVER WHENEVER I WANT
THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING HAVE WANTED EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD

Ans think of someone to use in UU! :p"
I can tell you're on mobile because of how that sentences looks lol :P


Although I can't help but chuckle a little that he just wanted to be friends and she rejected him because of it. You don't hear that too often. More ironic than humorous I suppose

What a freaking joke. She had this really great idea last month and I was super excited but now she’s just letting me tag along on her stupid errands? I wanted a party that would make me feel like an adult, this makes me feel like I’m being treated like a freaking child.
I don’t care if I’m petty or picky or whatnot at this point. I think I deserve a better birthday party than just “oh I have to run errands at Wal-Mart but you can come too if you want and pick out something”
