i barely pulled through today. I woke up at about 6, and I was really frustrated at school and my family and i couldnt stop crying until like 8. and even at school, when tess gave me a hug, the waterworks were about to start flowing again. Its not even that major, yeah, im a sook, whatever, but it was a shit day. and im about to start crying again.

Bad day, eh? They happen.

First rule: Cry away. Never stop yourself crying; it's very good for you. It's wonderful for washing negative stuff away, so embrace it.

Second rule: Try to find somebody a bit older who's been through all this and will talk without judging. You're not alone in feeling this way.

Third rule: Find a peaceful place to be alone and work it out. See Lucy's blog.

Fourth rule: Feel free to tell know-it-all Englishmen to shut the **** up, if you want to.

And what's so wrong with being short, plump and Asian? Try reading my blog post Lydia's Boundaries. She's short, plump and Asian. She's also probably the happiest person I've ever known.

Oh dear, now I really wish I could hug you. The dreaded toll of high school. And your family. Well I don't know anything about that, but I'll always be here if you need someone to talk to and a shoulder to cry on. Well not literally, but you get me.

And you? Carms? Body perception issues? NOOOO. You may be short (hey, not really. You're still taller than most) plump (you say plump, I say curvy, tomato tomahto)asian (well... no arguing there =D.), but your the asian with the best boobs, and the most amazing smile I've ever seen.

And no you're not pretty, you're bloody well beautiful. And very classically so.

Talkies tonight?

@Jeff: It's not that I don't WANT to cry, I just can't. Tear duct block haha. Yeah, i should probably find an older person. It just feels like I'm bothering them. But its okay, this is my vent space:)

I find Lucy's blog extremely amusing haha. How could I tell 'know-it-all-Englishmen' to shut up when they are so helpful? :D

@Rae: Rae. Rae. Rae.:)

Hello Carmen. I think modern, success-obsessed culture (and I do so take issue with their definitions of success) places far too much stress on young people. The system seems consumed with purveying the idea that happiness somes from having, when it actually comes from being. Try to keep it all in persepective, eh? You'll do.

Hi Jeff.
I would probably agree. But there are a lot of reasons why I have to succeed, one being parents. I don't think I'll go on about the other reasons, but i think you might be able to guess.

JJ said...

Yes, I'm sure I can guess. It saddens me that anybody should be forced to take that sort of thing into account.

As for the rest, I suppose I shouldn't comment in detail; but maybe I can be allowed to say this.

I do hope you never lose sight of the fact that you are first and foremost your own person, not anybody else's property, puppet, or even protege. Good luck.
