I have a confession to make.
I'm addicted to the Internet.

Tumblr, Goodreads, my messages, gmail, TriviaCrack,
All of it.

When I first got my phone I promised myself I wouldn't be a "Tech-Head", like my siblings and father are. They're always glued to their phones, always refreshing and plugged into something.


Before I got my phone I was much less irritable. Now I get irritated quickly whenever anyone asks me to do things because it's taking away from my screen time.
Before I got my phone I enjoyed life more. I used to appreciate the small things much more.
Before I got my phone i read more.
Before I got my phone I was more attentive.

Now, I'm not dissing it or anything, because phones can be a good thing. My friends and I text each other all the time, and that brings us closer. I can communicate more easily with my family. It's good for emergencies.

But I'm using it too much.

Ways to fix this:
Check social networks less often. (Tumblr once a day, Goodreads twice a day)
Stop using phone when unnecessary (At night or at school)
Allow some recreational phone use, but keep it limited.
When bored, don't reach for the phone. Pick up a book or a pencil instead. You like to do a lot of things, reading writing and drawing. Do them!
Limit roleplays (I've got about 7 active right now. Cut some out. Be sure to inform partners)


This will lead too:
A greater appreciation of life.
More things accomplished.
More books read
More stories written
More drawings drawn
More face to face interaction
More sleep
Better grades (hopefully)
A healthier mind
Better imagination.

So, Goodreads, goodbye for now. I'll be seeing you less.

Well, my Goodreads diet didn't last very long. I'm backkkkk!

An incident that happened today:

Person: Ayah, have you ever lived in Texas?
Me: No, why?
Person: You have a southern accent.

I've lived in the North my entire life. I asked a few people and they all said they noticed a change in my voice too.

I realized why.

I've watched so many episodes of Friday Night Lights that I've developed the same accent as the actors. >.<

message 367: by [deleted user] (new)

xD you should


message 368: by [deleted user] (new)

Man I've got to find a way to harness my life and enjoy it better.

Maybe, just maybe, the key to enjoying life is to stop worrying about whether or not life is being enjoyed. Maybe all the stress and worry and pressure that I put on myself to try to make my life more enjoyable is what's weighing me down.


message 369: by [deleted user] (new)

*nods*
Mhmm very wise.


message 370: by [deleted user] (new)

There's something

Buried

Deep inside of me

And I want to say it so badly but I can't. I don't know why, but I can't.

I've become obsessed with this thought, it's taking over my world, my life



I'm drowning
In a sea
Of my own thoughts
And I can't break the surface
Because I'm weighing myself down

I can't handle this.


message 371: by [deleted user] (new)

:(
Awwwwwwwwww
*hugs you*
are you okay?


message 372: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know


message 373: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know anything anymore


message 374: by [deleted user] (new)

>.<
It's okay...
It will be alright.


message 375: by [deleted user] (new)

I wanna experience a lot of things before I'm taken over


message 376: by [deleted user] (new)

...


message 377: by [deleted user] (new)

Took a ride to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know

But the pain and the longing's the same
Where the dying
Now I'm lost and I'm screaming for help alone

She was a simple girl who lived a simple life in a simple town. Whenever she was asked, "How are you?" the answer would always be "Fine.", no matter what she was feeling. Anything other than that was taboo, anything that would disrupt the simplicity was forbidden. Posing with a small smile all the time made it impossible for anyone to see what was really going on. No one was able to see the four demons in her head, threatening to take her over, threatening to take away the small piece of herself she had left.
Maybe
Her life
Wasn't so simple after all.

I love how everyone says they'll be there for you until you actually need them.


message 380: by [deleted user] (new)

>.< I'm sorry...


message 381: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm a psychopath....


message 382: by [deleted user] (new)

O.O No you're not...


message 383: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep. Diagnosed.


message 384: by [deleted user] (new)

...For real?


message 385: by [deleted user] (new)

Mmmhm.…


message 386: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh, you don't seem like it.


message 387: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm superficial, full of myself, look down on others, enjoy others sufferings, can't admit I'm wrong, Antisocial, unreliable, manipulative, untruthful, can't seem to settle down, etc.


message 388: by [deleted user] (new)

At least according to my psychiatrist.


message 389: by [deleted user] (new)

None of that is true if you ask me.
Your psychiatrist is an idiot.


message 390: by [deleted user] (new)

Nah. I agree with it. I'm a different person, when I'm on the Internet. Really, I think I'm Gods gift to man, I'm better than everyone, and they should all obey me. Besides I've had sadistic personality disorder for a really long time I guess it's just showing extra now.


message 391: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh...I'm sorry...


message 392: by [deleted user] (new)

It's all good… not much i can do about it.


message 393: by [deleted user] (new)

>.<
Well...you seem very sweet so maybe the way you act on the outernet is some kind of defense mechanism. Because you seem very sweet on the inside..


message 394: by [deleted user] (new)

I really hope that's the case >.<


message 395: by [deleted user] (new)

It could be. I mean why else would you be so sweet here?
No one can really judge you here and you can easily be yourself.


message 396: by [deleted user] (new)

That's what I love about the Internet, you guys are all amazing :)

Maybe that is true... I sure hope so. I just seem to have two sides to myself and I don't know which is the real me.


message 397: by [deleted user] (new)

Aww you are as well.
Oh well you'll figure it out :)


message 398: by [deleted user] (new)

My bed is so comfy can I just sleep forever please.

Also my brother is {possibly} getting married soon. My mom says when he moves out we can turn his room into a library. *screams of excitment*


message 399: by [deleted user] (new)

Ugh I feel the same way


Oh! That's so cool!!!!


message 400: by [deleted user] (new)

Woah there. Got a sudden wave of feelings for an ex. *pushes it back frantically while scrolling through pictures of hot Russians*
