This week
has dragged on for too long. Despite it only being Thursday night, I had some
things to say. This was basically my week: (moral of the story at the end)
Monday:
There were far too many assignments due. You know when all your teachers gang
up on you and decide that this’ll be the day and literally EVERYTHING is due? Yeah?
That was Monday.
Tuesday:
the worst day of my year. I’m very insecure, and I had confrontation. Despite this,
a very popular boy in my class called my friends and I “nerds” and even though
it isn’t exactly an insult (at least not a creative one), I was very offended. See
this boy in the past has made me feel uncomfortable and as if I don’t belong,
which isn’t a nice feeling at all.
Wednesday:
a fight between my friends. Apparently I was in the middle but I’m still not
sure what I did.
And of
course, Thursday: finally. A good day. My friends and I ate cake and made a
huge mess, I went to a job interview and got it! (woo!)
And now we’re
here. Someone pointed out to me that all my problems could be (slightly?)
resolved if I just didn’t care, if I ignored people who didn’t matter and
focused on my happiness. And that is exactly what I plan to do. I know it’ll be
hard because it’s true, I do care far too much. But I’m willing to try, and
that makes me happy.
I’ll leave
you with this, the wise words of Dan Howell, and something I think about often:
(P.S.
within reason and as long as it doesn’t endanger yourself and/or anyone else)
