Oops, sorry, I thought I responded already but I obviously didn't. I agree with everyone else. Also, I am literally very shocked right now. That's horrible!! Your lowercase really is so pretty, I love it!! And, please, rant all you like! And it may not be that big of a deal, but it's still a deal (erm, I mean, if that makes sense??). If it helps at all, I'd be happy to critique some poetry for you! And, wow, even so, that's amazing that you shared your work! Sending love <333 :)

I just want to thank this kid in my school who probably hasn't given me a second thought for the dopamine boost I get every time they say "hi" to me in the hallway.

My dad got into a car accident today--he's fine, and so is the person that hit him, but it scared me for a minute. Especially because he works about an hour away from home, and we've always been worried that he's going to get into a car accident--even if it's just a little one.
I thought my brother was joking at first, but he wasn't.
But he's fine! Thank God. I think God was watching out for us.
Car accidents can be pretty scary, but I'm glad to hear he is doing okay! - Admin

oh my gosh, that's so scary. i'm so glad he's okay <3

That's so frightening! I'm so glad everything turned out fine. As the saying goes, "all's well that ends well." *hugs*

This is probably gonna sound really dumb but... I feel like I'm a bad CBer. I love this silly little community we've built and everyone here, and yet I rarely ever interact with it anymore. And yeah, I have a pretty busy and stressful life right now, but shouldn't a true member of a community commit to it and be active within it? I dunno, I just... feel like I can't be a worthwhile part of the CB despite loving it. I'm rambling and none of that probably makes sense, but I thought I'd get it off my chest anyway.

I do see where you're coming from, but you're definitely a worthwhile part of the CB! You shouldn't have to give more than you can, especially if you're busy irl. Even if you can't be on here all the time, it's always great to see you whenever you do pop in - your poetry, for instance, is really good! You don't have to be very active in order to do your part to keep the CB alive. You're a part of the CB, regardless of how often you can drop in <3
(December 3, 2023 - 11:24 am)
Oh my gosh, Sterling. First of all: we love you, and would never think less of you just because you're not terribly active. Second -- you do still have an impact on the CB, and a hugely positive one at that. You may not be around all the time, or comment on everything you see/engage with, but literally no one would ever fault you for that. Like you said, we are all busy and have our own lives, and it's completely understandable; I know I'm the same way sometimes, especially if I'm in a slump, I'll come on here and just look without saying much, or don't show up at all for a while. You are important here, and loved. Promise! <3<3<3
You're already admirable for everything that you are on here, and I just want to say that it's really brave of you to confide in us and confess your insecurities. You're literally such an amazing person, so don't let anyone (including yourself) act like you're any less than!

I've been kinda ghosting on the CB lately, so I understand how you feel, but I think that I can speak for all the CBers when I say that a "good CBer" isn't someone who comes on every day and makes tons of posts and fun threads (though of course that is awesome). You can be a valuable member of the CB just by being your kind, unique self, however often you come on, and no matter how you interact with the CB you are a valued part of it.

First of all, apologies to Help, who I posted 16 minutes after.
Second, so it's my birthday and I went to school but came home feeling pretty sad because I feel like I didn't do anything special with my birthday. I feel like it's all going so fast and that I just wasted a special day of my life. I don't know, I think I'm just looking for some reassurance. Thanks, lizards.

So I understand this feeling, actually. When I turned thirteen I felt all this pressure to celebrate and like it was a huge milestone, and when I didn't really celebrate (I had a small celebration with my family but no real party or anything which is unusual for me) I felt like I'd wasted it. However, that's not really what birthdays are for. Birthdays are when you take time to acknowledge that every day in your life is special, because you, yourself, are special. I know that sounds extremely corny, but what I mean is you are quite literally the only version of you who exists. Nobody else has ever, nor will they ever, see the world the way you do, and they will never have the exact same effect on it that you will. It sounds big and complicated, but it's actually kind of beautiful. You are doing something amazing simply by existing.
Also, you don't have to celebrate your birthday on the day of your birthday! Any time is a great time to celebrate your existence. In my family, when birthdays fall on weekdays, we usually eat a special dinner and dessert on the day of the birthday and have an actual party on the weekend. Maybe this weekend you could do something special if you feel like you want to celebrate more.
But also don't feel like you have to celebrate. Your birthday is a reminder to love and appreciate yourself, and to acknowledge others' love and support of you. It's not a time to put pressure on yourself to make everything perfect. Do what feels right.
Happy birthday again! I hope I was able to help.

Thank you! That was extremely helpful

Hey Wildsong,
Happy birthday! I'm so sorry that you're feeling sad. It's hard to do much celebrating at school. I think you could make a thread on the cb! Maybe you could do an rp or maybe a written picturing thread.
I think you could ask your family to celebrate with you, right? We're always here to celebrate too with you!
Have a wonderful birthday!!!!

So I've had this crush on a boy for a while, and some days it seems like he likes me and then the next he just ignores me. So recently, I've been trying to get over him, and it's been working too! But now he's texting me a bunch and wanting to spend more time. Now, every time I get a text from him I can't help but grin. I don't want that, if he won't put in the effort to actually show me he likes me, at least not until I finally start focusing on myself, I don't want him. So how do I get over him??
(December 10, 2023 - 3:06 pm)
I don't have much experience in this kind of thing, but I'll try to help. I think the best thing might be to wait a little - maybe he's just shy and that's why he sometimes ignores you. But if he keeps showing that he's not prepared to commit himself, he might not be worth it. Just a suggestion! And I'm here if you need to talk/rant/ask for further advice.
