That's something I've struggled with as well, but there're always other classes to take to make up the credit or other assignments to do. Failing a physics class is not a measure of your worth as a human being, and it's okay to try your hardest and not get As or 100%s. If you make it through the class, that's a win.

Thanks, all. Tuesday was better and the week turned around. (Solution: started a new embroidery project .) (Communication is a two-way street, Ene! I'm sorry I haven't been around as much recently...)

I figured this would be the best place to do it because I am indeed having a bad day. I'm going to put it in spoilers for... reasons. Hide contents First, this guy I know used to be my best friend, but for a while now he's been saying and doing some things that have been pretty messed up. There will be random comments every now and then that have been awful, and lately I've been thinking about all the things he's said to me over the years. Recently I realized that he talks to me exactly like Moash talks to Kaladin. I'm not going to elaborate on that because I don't want people to have to see what he said to me when I was depressed and vulnerable, but it's actually sickening. No one should ever have anything like that said to them. Also, if you've read any of Rhythm of War, you can probably guess what kind of things he said Anyways, along with how disgusting some of what he's said is, my school has a student magazine where students can publish their poems and stories. Since he's been one of my only friends for years, he knows a lot about the stories I'm writing. Today the new issue of the magazine was released, and one of his poems is... very similar to a piece of writing I showed him a few months ago. He said he wrote his poem a few months ago, but when I asked him more about it, he claimed that it was written before my story and he believes that I might have plagiarized him. I never even knew about this poem, and I'm hurt a lot because I showed him a draft of my story a while ago and asked for his opinion on it. The writing I showed him is extremely important to the story I'm writing, and I've been working on this scene for a while. The story is also where my Shard name came from, so it's not a secret that I'm really excited about this scene. I don't really have any proof that he took ideas from what I showed him, but I have a suspicion that he did. They're different enough that it's not that big of a deal, but it still sucks. Now I'm going to finish writing the ending of my first draft, edit it, and make it way better than his version. It's probably bad to write out of spite, but he kind of deserves it at this point. Plus, it was originally my idea in the first place. Hugs would be appreciated, because I need them at this point. And sorry that this rant ended up being really long. *mails hugbot equipped with extra warm hugs*
FriarFritz Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 *hugs, hugs, and more hugs* I'm really sorry

Lecky Twig she/her Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 uhhggggh I had such a bad day today. So I got into this concert band that I was super pumped about being apart of, and my first rehearsal was today; but I swear I have never felt so unwelcome in my life! I was so disappointed because I woke up super early to get there on time and was really excited, but when I turned up, it was just sooo evident that I was not wanted. I don't think I've ever been filled with this much self-loathing but man was I naiive thinking that being part of this ensemble would somehow be a positive thing. Now, I'm so unmotivated, I can't even get myself to read my book (that I've really been enjoying). Basically I hate myself for every decision I've made this week and I want to cry myself to sleep for the rest of my life. 4

Draginon he/him Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Not bad enough to get my day bad but enough to get to me. The best analogy is the penny where by itself it’s worthless but you get enough of them together and you get a happy meal or something that has worth. One of those was my mother’s micro aggressions and insults towards me. We were going to Jack in the Box since she wanted onion rings and the conversation turned to food advertisement and I mentioned there was one where it was very obvious the guy wasn’t actually given a burger because of the way he was holding it and the way he bit in was like biting air. She turned it around to criticize the way I hold my burgers. My way of holding it? Thumb on the bottom bun and fingers on top, which is the normal way to hold it. She treats it as me holding it upside down and my elbows sticking out even with my head. This might seem like small potatoes but remember my analogy earlier, stuff like this gets to me more and more these days.
Silverblade5 he/him Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Flipped my car today. That was fun. Got over it.
