I feel slightly happy that I didn’t kill myself, as I wouldn’t have seen tons of great things (followed by a horde of crap that I didn’t like). I learned how to do some forms of art (calligraphy and watercolor painting) in the summer and I got to make one of my close friends happy by giving him an autograph of one of his favorite singers by surprise on his birthday, which was a few weeks ago. However, I don’t really see that much improvement from how I was last year. I wonder what kind of bad shit life has in store for me now, as my grandmother died a few months ago.
I want to rest because I am really tired from all the homework and projects my teachers give me. Sometimes, I don’t even get to do them at all. I heard some people complain of having 3 requirements per week from other schools while in my school, there’s like 8 requirements per week minimum (if it’s not a special week for events). It can even be like 5 requirements a day and I get home 6 PM and leave around 7 AM, so I end up not sleeping sometimes. I know older generations say that my generation gives up easily, but with this much work, who wouldn’t?
There’s this guy I like and sometimes, I want to give him a hug because he’s going through a rough time right now but I’m afraid of other people misinterpreting it as the “gross public display of affection” that many couples do and I’m just afraid that I’m just annoying him or hurting him with whatever I do because I feel that everything I do now hurts another person somehow.
And once again, I am lost.

1) Walk up to guy. Smile!
2) Ask, “Do you need a hug?” Look concerned.
3) If yes, then hug. If no, then say, “Let me know when you do.” Smile again.
4) Unless you are physically beating on others or being hyper-judgmental or nasty, you ARE NOT hurting others. Some people are super-sensitive, which is not your fault. Some people will use any excuse to be offended, which is not your fault. Some people lead very narrow lives and they get frightened and confused when things change, which is not your fault.
5) Death, taxes, and school suckage is eternal. You have my sympathies.
6) Remember to think of life as a path you walk, not a place you are trying to get to. Yes, some parts are crap. Just keep walking.
7) Losing a relative is tough. Be sad as long as you need to be. There is no official time limit on grieving. If you are grieving then tell people about it. Don’t be mysterious and don’t keep it inside.
8) Keep breathing.
I don’t really reply to comments on my posts as I don’t really see them (whoops) but thanks a lot 🙂 I’ll try to hug him later, I guess, heh.
I only just realised that it is okay to pitch stuff to people, as long as you respect their response.
Like SeeSmith said, offer the guy a hug. Worst that can happen is he says no thanks.
Okay, yay. I’ll try to hug him later, I guess, as I have school in approximately 5 hours (and haven’t finished any of my homework)
Also, do you happen to be good in chemistry? My chemistry teacher does not offer consultation and he teaches too fast and I don’t know who to approach exactly, lol.
Lots of people seem to be using these resources. I have no idea about quality:
