Care Packages
This is an idea I've had for a while, and this thread is going to be something of a test run for it…
Similar to the "Comments for Compliments" thread a while back (but hopefully one that will work better?), this thread is where all you have to do is leave a comment, and you'll get a "care package" - there might be advice, song recommendations, book recommendations, written picturings, compliments, whatever you're in need of.
Comment telling me a bit about yourself - maybe your taste in music, how you've been feeling (and why you've been feeling it), whatever you like, and I'll respond with a "care package."
I don't know how this is going to work out, but making people happy makes me happy, so I'll see what I can do. Like I said, this is a test run, and this might end up being a bad idea that crashes and burns - I just like the opportunity to bring a smile to someone's face, and want to try something new.

I've been really stressed and anxious lately for literally no reason, just when I finally got my life together. On top of that I keep putting off writing because I feel like it'll never be good enough... so maybe some encouragement?
Thyme says "aowru." Are they a wolf now???

Aaah I'm so sorry this is late!
I'm sorry you've been feeling stressed and anxious! I can sympathize with the "I'll never be good enough at doing this thing, so I just won't do it" feeling. I have that about drawing all the time XD I don't think I've seen much of your writing, but you seem like a very creative person with good ideas! Also, the only way you'll get better at something is if you practice. And if you ever want to share any on the CB, I'd love to read it :D good luck <333

Peri, thank you this is so kind!
So, today I have a Japanese unit test and I am so worried because I stayed up till like 11 last night and I'm afraid I will be too asleep to get the right answers. I also don't have many irl friends, for one of my friends it is getting kind of hard to talk to him, becuase now I call him on my phone, which doesn't have the whole memoji things and he only communicates using memoji and that starts getting really annoying; my other friends I haven't been in contact with for a while. I keep calling myself stupid. I like science and advanced math but I am afraid that may get me out of touch with other humans and avoid getting me friends my own age. I hate so many people's dislike for math, and I feel I am alone in my love of advanced mathematics and physics. I keep having daydreams about people bullying me for just being who I am; recently I forgot to submit my Japanese homework and when the teacher informed me, the person sitting to the left of me (who is a college student, this is at our local community college) kind of laughed and said, "Five points off!" but in a "ha ha, loser" way. Although he was wrong--my teacher understood and gave me full credit for my late submission--it still stayed with me and made me very afraid in class.

EDIT Yesterday was my Japanese unit test I was talking about and I aced it. So please disregard that part.
ADD There is one kid in my class who somehow has some kind of thing about me; he treats me a bit like, a bit like maybe a 6-year-old, insists on high-fiving everytime we both go to the same location in the clasroom even to do something as simple as grab a whiteboard, a marker, and a towel-eraser-thingy.
