Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Today I drew a portrait that's probably the best thing that I've ever drawn. Then I tried to draw something else. And I hate it.

I guess I can only produce one miracle a week, haha.

I don't know if this is the right thing to say, because I'm not good at feelings and I don't think we've ever talked before (although I do really look up to you), but I'm sorry. You're a good person - creative, kind, real - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially because this is just from me seeing you around! I don't know what's going on in your life, but I want to say that I care. (This goes to anyone else who's seeing this, too.) I wish I had more ways to help, but I'm really bad at feelings (as you can probably tell from how clunky and syrupy this all is), so I'm just saying: You're a good person. You matter. Your problems matter. Even if they seem really small to you.

I do think talking to someone could help, but it can be very hard to find someone you trust enough. So don't feel pressured, and definitely choose someone you do trust. If you can't, maybe writing in a journal would help? Or making a character you relate to or has similar problems and writing about them. Maybe you could talk to them too, on paper. (Just make sure that they're nice? And probably not, like, a space pirate, because that never goes well (trust me, I've tried XD)) 

What are some things you like doing? I know it can be hard to find them when you don't feel good, so again, don't feel pressured. But doing those things might help.

Again: You're a good person. You matter. Your problems matter. 

Hopefully some other CBers will have some more helpful answers. But I wanted to make sure that you knew that people care. And again, don't feel pressured to do any of this. Also, if any of this makes you feel worse, then I'm really, really sorry and swear I don't mean it that way. As I've said, I'm bad at feelings. So bye, and you matter.


You matter.


You matter.

The year 2000 was 21 years ago, but when you hear the year 2000, it feels recent. (or maybe that's just me lol)

The movie Grease came out in 1978 and was about the class of '59. Did you know that if a similar movie were made today, it would be set in 2002?

I remember you talking about how much you love The Mysterious Benedict Society.  I wanted to say I just finished reading and I love it so much!  It was a great book.  Also, you were the one who (unintentionally and unknowingly) encouraged me to pick it up.  Though it was spoiled a little for me because I read his book,The Secret Keepers, first and they were both similar.

Those books are so good!! Has anyone started watching the new TV show? It's pretty good so far, it stays pretty close to the books with I appreciate. The actors aren't amazing, but it doesn't really bother me.

I have! On episode three. I read the book a really long time ago so can’t really say how close it is to the book, but my friend loves the book and after watching the show spent ten minutes complaining about the inaccuracies lol

I've started it! I don't have Disney+, though, so I can only watch it at my cousins' house. At first I was all mad because they got the characters wrong. They didn't even give L.D. Curtain a wheelchair. but it's still an awesome show!!

Time is an illusion that helps things make sense

So we're always living in the present tense

It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends

But you and I will always be back then

You and I will always be back then

Singing, will happen, happening, happened

Will happen, happening, happened

Will happen, happening, happened

And will happen, again and again

'Cause you and I will always be back then...
