i really hate writing. i don't see
myself as a writer.. (sorry nelson. you prob shouldnt read that. but if you did
then i love writing!) frankly if i never have to write another thing in my life
i would be happy. in practically every english class i have had some of my
super talented friends "help" me write. that's secret. ha.
i do get in really sad moods and i'll randomly find the desire to write
something but then it just ends up like a poem that's dramatic and i'm not a
dramatic person. it's funny..i can talk non-stop for hours on end never running
out of stuff to talk about but the minute i sit down and like, write something
my mind goes blank. if someone were to just record me talking then write it
down that would probably be much better. the thing with writing, for me, is i ov
don't just write..i have to think every thing through and by the time i
write it down my self-critism tells me it's not good enough and i have to
change more. that's about the time i throw in the towel completely. i do love
reading. someone wrote on the board in class that their favorite book was perks
of being a wallflower. i've heard that book was really good so today i decided
to read it. now i've read all but the last 50 pages. i really do love it. the
main character has a pretty suckish life but you don't read all about how sad
he is or that he complains a lot. he is pretty freakin optimistic. i try to be
optimistic but i kinda fail at it. my BIGGEST PET PEEVE-teenagers that complain
day and night about their petty little problems to get attention. the girl
a friend of mine only talks about herself and how "rude" her parents
are to her and how she has no friend. honestly i could slap her. i would trade
for her life in a heartbeat. she's never been hit before, ignored, she has
parents who care about her, her friends would do anything for her. shut up
woman. i think the people who complain the most-have the least to complain
about.
some days i really do believe that i
am alone. yeah every teenager says that-but i can't convince myself otherwise.
i can't remember the last time someone was sincere and asked me how i was doing
or if i was ok. maybe it's because i'm not ok and i can't remember the
last time i was. i don't tell people about things i have been through or i'm
going through because i know they will look at me different. i think that's why
i don't like going to church. everyone comes up to me asking what they can do
to help. what am i supposed to say? "just bring more dinners" i
really am tempted to say that sometimes. my ward is excellent cooks.
I can't put into words what I felt while reading this..except wow...and ditto...and you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou may hate writing but you are so good at it. I love how you wrote the whole thing in lower case letters, I think it really adds to it, and the crossing out of lines..Genius!! I loved this post, not just because it was good, but also because you wrote my feelings down as well, and probably better than I ever could.
And I hope you enjoyed those fruit snacks :)
