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.

Haha, that's funny. I love the serving sizes on candy boxes. I could never eat that much in one helping. Well actually, I probably could, but I know I shouldn't :D

I know I've said this a billion times but it's true: I have the best science teacher on the planet *happy dance*

Being mixed is wild sometimes, I just met one of my (white) grandma's friends and the first thing she said to me was 'oh did your parents get you from China?'. One hit KO

OH MY STARS- That is... Something. Oof. (I am horrible with emotions but am mixed as well so uh. sypathasizing noises.)

Hahaaa relatable. I love old white people :|

I'm very very mixed... I did some research on my family tree once, and it turns out I've got ancestors from: Europe, Mexico (which means I'm sure to have indigenous ancestors), and probably the Middle East. It's so interesting.

Ah, yes... My mother is 1/2 black and 1/2 indigenous, and my father of Euopean+Middle Eastern descent but I have lighter features so I kinda get labelled as "white" most of the time despite identifying and being raised as mixed. It just annoys me. Just like gender stuff.

HAHA that's awful oof. (Also there are a lot of mixed people on the CB! Me too!)

how much do y'all overthink and regret what you've done in social situations?
I think I do way too much but I'm trying to figure it out compared to others...
(April 25, 2023 - 6:19 pm)
I overthink/regret what I've done in social situations (aka. rumination) on a daily basis. You're not alone.
*fidgets intensly with Rubik's cube*
Oh no I just realized that I'm supposed to be doing homework right now although I pRoBaBlY should take a break. I think I've been at it for 2 hours and should take a break before my brain explodes and I end up doing schoolwork on the computer for 7 hours (yeah, it's happened before...).

Oh I'm still freaking embarrased about the first day of middle school (6th grade) and now I'm in 7th... all b/c I sat in the wrong seat.
Also about something I said in... October.
So.... way too much.
(April 25, 2023 - 8:10 pm)
Haha... oh man
I still agonize over the start of school over a year and a half ago, where I messed things up for myself (eternally?). I continuously beat myself up for everything I said or did however recent or long ago, as well as everything I didn't say or do. And then there's all the "you were insensitive" moments, and to mirror those the "they could see that you had to fake those emotions and weren't being sincere" moments, and the "hey that moment was theirs and you ruined it by talking" moments. I should've made friends with those kids in driver's ed, I should've talked more because then there's a slim chance people would like me, should've danced, acted more outgoing, ignored my stupid personality....
If that gives you an idea. In comparison you're probably A-OK..
(April 25, 2023 - 9:23 pm)
in comparison... i do that all too
ayyyyyyy—

Ey, you're not all that bad though, bud. Everyone has moments where they aren't as stellar as they hope to be, and that's okay. Chin up, take these regrets as use them as a catalyst for something greater. Do you wish you had done something back then? Well, next time you get a chance, go on and do something spontaneous or fun or clever; just do your best. Make sure to live life in a way you hopefully won't regret in the future, and try not to stress too much about what's already happened. We can't control the past or future, but we have the 'now,' okay?
P.S. I also have moments where I wish I'd done things differently, been a bit more outgoing, just been more fun to be around or just plain been better/more interesting. Still, I try to live by my own advice and just make it up to everyone around me while I still can. A lot of times I can feel when a moment is going to be one of those 'regrets' and make an attempt to change that if possible. No pressure to be perfect, just be something.
