Miseries and woes

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Miseries and woes

Miseries and woes

Boy, that's a depressing title. But yeah, I have miseries and woes to rant about, so just sit tight and let me relieve all of my sad little problems, and you can stop by and say that it sucks, then we can all get on with our lives.

First: you know how on sheets I say to use they/them pronouns? Well, I was having problems with my identity, which was confusing and I didn't know what to do, but that particular misery/woe  has been resolved, and I'm going to go back to she/her pronouns. Cool? Cool. Next misery/woe.

Next misery/woe is about death. Chilling. Recently, two people in my life have died. Which is crud. First, it was my Uncle. He had had cancer, and everybody told us that he was going to die. Ouch. Like, my sister is nine. Anyways. He died, and it's hard to get over the fact that Uncle Paul won't come out for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or Easter, ever again. He made all the adults laugh. 

But then, on Monday, one of my best friend's Mom died, only a couple of weeks after Uncle Paul. He seems fine- I saw him last night, and he was totally fine, he even pantsed Oliver twice- but it sucked. 

~END OF MISERIES AND WOES~

(P.S I need less advice and more just comfort, if that makes sense.)

 

We're so sorry to hear about your uncle and your friend's mother, Soren. Death is a part of life, but it's difficult. Please stay close to your friend. Just being there and listening can be a big help. As time goes on, you'll feel less sad and be able to remember the times with Uncle Paul that made everyone laugh.

back to the Down to Earth

Oh wow. I'm really sorry. That must be super hard for you. And the identity thing too.

misery/woe #1

I doubt myself. so much. It's usually something I've already done. I'm impulsive(shocker) and often get too excited. I regret it later. I'm scared the world actually hates me, talks about me behind my back. So I then camp out in my mind. I become a timid person who always ends her ideas with, "but what do you think?" I'm scared of singing my song to the world because I fear that I'll end up dying of humiliation. Confidence tips, anyone?

If it helps, everyone you ever meet will know something you don't know. That's about all I've got. Hmm... Apologies exist? Yes. Apologies exist, so if you feel bad about something, apologize. If they think you're weird, it'll be the charming sort of weird. And by the way, my thoughts about you tend to be comprised of wondering when you'll be around because you're cool.

Thanks, Admin. That kinda reminded me of a Dumbledore quote- 'To the well organized mind, death is the next great adventure.'

Spring Flower- never, in a million years, will nobody love you. Why? Because we do. When a fellow Chatterboxer is sad, or lonely, we want to help and show how much we appreciate that person. So don't forget that. We all make mistakes. 

Sorry, I'm not a very good advice giver. I'll let someone else do this. TOP!

*gives a big hug*

I'm sorry about all that. I fully understand the whole identity problems to be honest, and the death as well. My dad's friend died recently and it's been pretty hard to watch him, even if like you said about your friend, he seems fine. I've never really had anyone close to me die except for a few relative's cats and dogs, but I think it goes without saying to aknowledge that you'll miss them and let yourself mourn. It can be helpful, I think. Rather than focusing on what's gone, in the end you'll be focusing on what they've given you and your friends and family and what a good person they've been.
