How many tears is it going to take before I realize that I need to change my life? I finally broke down today and cried. I still have at least 20 minutues of good hard sobbing to do before the stressed/unhappy chemicals leak their way out of my system. At least I know what the problem is. I'm trying to do too much and I expect myself to do exceptionally in everything. Why? Now that's a tough question to answer. Mrs. Passallo informed me today that I'm going to have to drop SOMETHING in order to make time for my academics. It's okay now, but it'll have to change. Unless I want to go to NYU or something. Hrm. Do I? And then sometimes I just sit and think, this is absurd. I'm 15 and I'm supposed to be making choices about my life and my career? I'm supposed to be managing my time in a way that most supports my future? I have an entire decade until I've completed A QUARTER of my life. What kind of society do we live in where we have to make choices like this NOW?! |

KirbyDee | hey sweetie, 10-18-04 10:10pm Everything will be fine, I know that we are having all sorts of pressure forced upon us even though we really shouldn't have so much to deal with. You are handling it sooo well, I'm not just saying it to make you feel better. I'm glad to see that you're crying, not because I get sick pleasure out of it lol No, but because you're expressing your emotions. I'm glad you're writing this in your journal, just letting it out because bottling isn't going to get anywhere. Right now, you're in a state of cognitive confusion but it's going to be alright because a lot of people are our age who are going through the same thing. You don't need all the answers, don't let other people think for you. Sort out what you need to know, don't freak over the future too much. Remember, live your life right and that includes not driving yourself sick, mentally or physically. I know it's tough, I know there's nothing I can really do to help other than to let you know that I'm here for you if you need me. But choices, they're not going to go away. I'd love to say they will, but they won't. But hey, if it's any conselation, I think you'll make the right choices. *hugs* Keep your chin up young one, chin up and head high. |
Anonymous | Re: hey sweetie, 10-18-04 10:57pm I'd just like to point out you're a whole four months YOUNGER than Melissa so you really shouldn't be calling her "young one" and trying to sound all sage and wise. It's good you're consoling her, but aren't you taking it a little over the line with the whole "matronly outlook?" |

KirbyDee | Re: Re: hey sweetie, 10-19-04 2:14am Um... practically everyone is older than me but it's a line from a movie that I love called "Object of My Affection". It's my little thing, b/c I fell in love with that line. |
Anonymous | Re: Re: Re: hey sweetie, 10-19-04 11:00pm Okay, so maybe the "young one" line was from a movie. A little bit strange, and definatley weird, but I'll give you that one.

musicalbabe | Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: hey sweetie, 10-19-04 11:14pm I can't I can't I can't! As much as that class is severly screwing my GPA, he is one awesome guy. There's also that little part where his teaching style doesn't work for me AT ALL, but whatever. I almost broke down AGAIN, but I talked to him today. Hopefully 'I can't I can't I can't' will soon turn into 'I can I can I can'.

KirbyDee | um, 10-20-04 12:06am Try to be nice and people criticize you...

musicalbabe | Re: um, 10-20-04 12:12am hey dee, don't worry about what other people think. i appreciate your comments, but also understand if you'd rather just not comment and save yourself from possible ridicule. that makes sense too.

Anonymous | Whoops, 10-20-04 7:44pm Okay, this is the first anonymous (what a weird word to spell) person posting again. I didn't mean my comment in a malicious way AT ALL. I just thought it was ironic how Deanna was acting very mature and sage when she's younger than Melissa. Didn't mean to insult your life experiences there. Even though I do think that even though you've been through sh*t that doesn't automatically mature you but whatever. I just thought it was slightly humorous. I didn't mean to offend you, but rather I just wanted to point it out. If you decide that I have mortally wounded you for life and you can never post in Melissa's blog again, so be it. I'm not going to stop you. Just know no one meant to damage your ego. |

Anonymous | Re: Re: Re: Re: Whoops, 10-22-04 1:20am really mel dont do that, cause what if our wedding place cards are the same! oh god the drama! lol jk. If you are way over your head, mabey (gasp)think about dropping something from your schedule/extracurricular activities, or just try to manage your time really effectively. Either way, just find some time for yourself every day, cause without that you may possibly go insane, we all need our office space! lol jk. mucho loves para la espanol queen~Mer |
