Good and Bad Thread
Hey, so I've had this idea for a while. It's sort of like the Happiness Thread, but it's actually kind of different.
Everybody has problems sometimes, and you just have to let that out once in a while, right? The idea of this thread is that you can post about the bad things, but then--here's the catch (yeah there's a catch)--for every bad thing that you post, you have to also say two good things. Anything good that you can think of. And if you go into detail with your bad thing, you also have to go into detail about the good things. You can post as many bad things as you want, but you have to make sure to also post twice as many good things.
----
>This isn't a complaining thread, so don't be whiny but you can talk as much about the bad things as you want, as long as you talk just as much about the good things.
>You can post as many bad things per day as you want, but you have to find good things to go with them.
----
I don't have any really bad things to talk about right now, but I'll just give a (sort of) example by saying:
1) (Bad) Today the weather is kind of blah and there's not much sun at all.
2) (Good) I'm going to watch the Superbowl later, and Maroon 5 is doing the halftime show!
3) (Good) There was that time at the skating (roller skating and inline skating) rink that I go to once a month with my homeschool group when I skated so fast for so long, I felt really exhausted afterwards but it was SO FUN, and I loved it, and I got to hang out with my friends and talk to people.
Something like that!

Another happy thing! Finished my English essay (it's on Euripides' Medea) and gotta say, I'm really feeling myself. I'm such a good writer.
Bad thing... Still haven't started my WC essay on the four principal structures of Chinese society. Whoops.

Bad thing- I'm failing half of my classes and if i don't get them up in a few weeks then I'll be ineligible to try out for Poms next year, and I won't be able to letter this year.
Good thing- I got out of going to school today!! And I slept in till 2:30 again.
Bad thing- I have group on Tuesday and I don't think I'm going to be able to talk about my problems with other people, which means I might be sent back to the mental hospital, long term.
Good thing- I had a snow day yesterday! it snowed a half of an inch. But that's alright! Snow days for the win!

Bad—We’re leaving Orlando today, and going home from fun trips is always depressing to me. And that means going back to school and life and stress.
Good—The drive will give me plenty of time to work on the short story I’ve been procrastinating on.
Good—We’re going to make another trip in a few weeks to see some friends, and I’m really excited about that because they live out of state and I miss them a lot.

(Good) I feel less sick today!
(Good) I got an EPIC idea about this stop motion project I have to make.
(Bad) The stop motion project is due tomorrow. I have not started filming.
(Good) I learned a lot in painting class today!

Bad—My brother has the flu. :(
Good—the rest of my family doesn’t have it.
Bad—but we might get it and I’m worried because I really don’t want to be sick.
Good—I got to work more on my short story today.

Bad - my friends are acting weeeeird (and not in a good way)
Good - My mom is taking me to NYC ballet of Beauty and the Beast in like 2 weeks!
Good - I knew the massive midterm test that we had today better than I expected!
Bad - School is terrible lately. Tons of tests and schoolwork, not good teachers, and cliquey acting friends. Hopefully it'll get better soon.
Good - My friends like my writing. (y'know, stuff for school, poems I write for fun...)
Good - I was at a friends house super late last night, and we (me, my friend, her sister, and her mother) ended up baking and cooking for an occasion. Seems kinda weird to be so excited, but her family is the kind I sorta wish I could try for a little while (especially since I'm the youngest, so I never had any younger sibling to be nice to/boss around or have fun with.), and that's also not something I regularly do (staying late/baking at friends house). Anyway, my friends family is fun!
