Okay, I
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Okay, I
Okay, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry. The person I am when I'm on the CB isn't really anything like the real me. I mean, I haven't lied about anything really, except for my happiness. Here, I've always posted as a super happy and optimistic girl who can't make a comment without smiley faces. But in RL, I'm just the typical girl suffering from depression. I struggle with my faith, have lost almost of my friends, and have had my heart broken. I'm an expert at hiding my emotions, and no one (like, not even my own family) knows when I'm upset. But as soon as I go to my room at night, the tears start to fall. I just wanted to say I'm sorry to all of you who think I'm the super happy smiley girl. If you're mad, I can leave (lol, that is, as soon as I finish the ten days of Christmas).

pkenzie, I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling sad. Everybuggy here in Cricket Country and on the Chatterbox loves you. The comments you’ve sent have introduced us to a caring, friendly, fun-loving girl. Even if we haven’t met in person, we are all your real friends who care about you deeply. I’ve always thought of you as the hostess of the Chatterbox, how you welcome newcomers and help them learn their way around.
We love your quizzes! Keep attending activities you enjoy and be on the lookout for others who enjoy the same things. Didn’t you and others from your church just go on a weekend concert trip that you enjoyed?
It is very common for people of any age to struggle with their faith sometimes. Questioning and thinking can make you stronger.
I hope by the time you read this that you’re feeling better. But anytime you’re feeling bad, please talk to a parent or someone at church. They love you and would do anything to help you, but you have to tell them how you feel.
Please reply and let us know how you’re doing! We care very much.
--Old Cricket

Kenzie! We love you! Of course no one's mad! I'm certainly not! I have been able to read between the lines of some of your comments, and I wish I could meet you and be your friend in person! Please don't feel you need to leave Chatterbox because of this. It's fine.
*virtual hug* We need you as the person you are!

Oh, Kenzie, don't be sad! I think everyone is different online than they are in person, and that's fine. We love you as the person you are, and Old Cricket was right about everything he said. Please know that you are not alone--- others, myself included, struggle with their faith, have friendship problems, and other things like that, and it's all a part of growing up. You're a great person, no matter what!

Thanks, Mary! :) That really helps. And hey, you're 11.95! Happy almost birthday!

OMG, Kenzie, you are the best person ever!!!!!!! :) :) We love you and would NEVER EVER want you to leave. Trust me, on here, I'm sure everyone hides SOMETHING, whether it's their name, age, personality, state, or whatever. It's okay to keep somethings hidden. Seeming happy when you're really sad is not a crime! :) You make everyone feel happy, and I hope this makes you happier.
If you want to talk, I'm listening!!!!!!!! I am having trouble with certain things, too. You don't even know. That is my hidden thing, and I really don't wish to share. It's embarrassing. So don't try to get me to tell, I want to just let you know, that everyone has issues, and that it's okay. :) (I am just a normal person, I don't have a disease that makes me look different or anything like that).
I am so happy to know everyone on here. This is a place where I can express my feelings and be me, without worrying about things!!! And, Paige, you are a main reason I stay on here. You are so cool and fun, golly, I wish I knew you in real life!! STAY. NEVER LEAVE. We love you!!!!! :)

Awwwwwww! Thank you sooooo much!! Ok, now I want to visit WA... 3/4 of the CBers live there (like you!) and I know two other girls who live there... *give mom puppy eyes* pweaaaaase?
(December 22, 2009 - 4:35 pm)
Yes, and then you can all take a nice little road trip down to sunny ol' California! :D
Glad you already seem a bit more cheerfuller, Smiley Buddy!!!!!!!!
(December 23, 2009 - 10:50 pm)
Oh, well it's more likely that we'll visit CA, actually, because my friend moved there in February, and we're good friends with her family, and yeah, this is a run-on sentence, so I should stop talking, but I don't feel like it, so I'll go on forever. Oh snap, I put a period in the sentence. (:

Well that was a bit hard to comprehend! :) What city, do you know? Can you give that kind of info? *doesn't know the reason for emphasis* *found it fun to put in, and stupidly did* *now regrets* *shame* (<-- I just spelled 'shame' 'smake'. Don't ask how) *shakes head in confusion* *is sleepy from lack of sleep since day of birth* *is not insomniac* *goes to bed late* *wakes up late....*
(December 28, 2009 - 2:32 am)
Hahaha... That was also hard to comprehend... (: Buuuuut, I think, she lives in Costa Mesa. :D
(January 3, 2010 - 12:22 am)
Hahaha, yah, sorry 'bout that, I was really tired, and not thinking at ALL clearly, and I did a series of insane posts that Admin must have hated, so....
Costa Mesa.... Doesn't ring a bell, darn it. That must mean it's not near by, which means you won't accidentally come visit me...... *sniffle*
(January 11, 2010 - 3:01 pm)
*sigh* Well, then, Missy, you're just gonna have to come to Maine. :D
(January 21, 2010 - 6:59 pm)
OK!!!!!! I actually have a cousin who lives in Portland. I can pretend I'm visiting him and his wife, but actually sneak over to Gorham (right?). *heehee* You can't imagine how good that post makes me feel. *sighs back* *sniffle*
(January 22, 2010 - 9:10 pm)
Hahaha okay! While you're coming to my house, though, I'd suggest taking a car, because Gorham's about twenty minutes away from Portland (driving distance). 'Twould be very much fun. We could go spend the day in the Old Port (a part of Portland on the ocean that's filled with wicked cool shops and such), then go to the zoo, then go to the beach, or go snow tubing/skiing, go to Fort Williams and the Portland Headlight (a park place on the ocean in Portland w/ some old historic park and that famous lighthouse thingy), and, umm, that's probably it, because they're really not that much to do in Maine. :) Oh, we have a pretty nice art museum, though.
Oh, and haha, awww, too bad Costa Mesa isn't closer. Sigh. California's too big. :(
(January 24, 2010 - 11:14 am)
Sounds like a LOT of fun!!!!!!! Mmm. Yes, Ca is too big. :)
(February 2, 2010 - 8:28 pm)
Oh, my! I just looked up Costa Mesa on google maps. It's pretty funny to see how far it is from there to Santa Rosa. :D
(Zoe is saying: ezzy. I think she's telling me it's not that hard to get down there... but Z.A.R., it's not that! It's that my family doesn't have the time slot to go south...)
