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.

OMG yess exactly - it's the same for me, the most annoying thing about society is that if I talk about what's currently wrong in society, everyone will be offended :/ But I might talk about it anyway someday... if I don't it won't ever change. In the meantime - TEAAAA *sips lemon balm tea*

I kinda missed the Nimona discussion but I watched it last night and it was SO GOOD I cried T_T

I don't remember all the details from the book, but I loved what they added to Nimona's backstory. And Ballister was so sweet, he was just so confused and innocent for the whole movie T_T  very different from his book version, but I honestly liked him better in the movie lol

AND THAT ENDING WHAT

Are you okay? I bet your hair looks awesome, but from what you've said previously and your location it seems like your family might not be great with it. Just want to make sure you're okay *hugs if you want them* You don't have to answer if you don't want of course. Just know we're here for you. 

In case things are going badly: try to find some things that help, if you can. Maybe you could write some poetry or a story or word vomit or draw something about how you're feeling. Or, alternatively, something comforting. You're awesome at all of the things I mentioned, but they don't have to be remotely decent. Just something to get your mind off things or think through them. Other things to take your mind off things could be good, like crocheting or drawing something for fun or something. I don't really have much further advice without more information, but always can try again if you respond. And I could try to do anything that would help. I don't know what I could do on the internet, but just in case there's something that would help. 

Hope everything's going okay *hands you a raspberry lavender scone covered in lavender vanilla glaze* (And of course since it's virtual it can customize to any dietary restrictions and such, as well as inherently being made with sustainable ingredients. Also I made those scones recently, they're really good :D)

I wholeheartedly respect that decision <3

CAPTCHA says "gurui." Merrp, I really don't think you're a guru. You do seem to be talking backward, so I guess that's kind of guru-ish in a Yoda way.

Thanks y'all, You people are the sweetest~ <3<3<3<3 

I have been havin kinda a tough time, I don't even know why but yeah ocd stuff has gotten a lot worse so I have like no nails or hair and agghh. Although it's been like this for as long as I can remember (not the hair thing, but chewing/picking my nails to the point its kinda worrying, peeling scabs or washing/scrubbing my skin until its raw; that kinda stuff) it feels like it suddenly got way more serious and I literally have no idea why... Like I don't even know how to deal with something like thissss.

After this incident I've asked my guardians to hold on to things like scissors and razors so I can't just take off chunks of hair like that. Although it's not like I hate the look completely (moreso its just overboard and that annoys me cause its kinda semi-perminent), I do hate how I seemingly can't control borderline behaviour. :/ (when it's less a desicion and more a compulsion, that's when it starts turning problematic).

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out, y'all have been so nice about this. I definitely feel a lot better knowing that I do have some support. Love you all <3<3<3<3<3<3

That's super sucky friend :( This is very generic advice, but when my OCD was really bad I got therapy and that was helpful. A therapist would have better recommendations than me. Just remember that all of us are here to support you <3

Guys, guys, guys!!! Everyone's scores in the high school entrance examinations finally came out today... I'm in the top eleven percent of the over one hundred thousand junior high students in my city!!!

For me, this means a one hundred percent guarantee that I can enroll in my dream high school at the end of this summer vacation, and with that an added possibility that I can't even get a place there, because I may be admitted by the best high school in my local district before that...

If that happens, it's an admission that I won't be able to refuse due to educational policy, but that doesn't matter!!!

I'm finally freeeeeeeeeeee!!! 

*laughs in incredulity*To think I started junior high as the worst student in my grade, and now I'm the best in my entire class after three years... darn.

High school, here I come!!!!!!!

You know, despite this, we still need to preview all of our high school classes beforehand, right? 

Yeah, we do. But right now, we're going to take a break from living life for a day... just a day.
