I won't. If you're not back tomorrow, I will be sad, and I will miss you. We love you Lucy. We are all different. And that's good, because otherwise we would all be the same and there would ne no creativity. Poetry wouldn't exist, neither would those songs you quoted. Because emotion is difference, and life is full of emotion. Music is inspired by it, poetry written about it. Emotion is part of life, like motion. If life were still it would not be living. If we were all the same, then there would be no point in living, because there would be someone just like you to replace you. You are the only you. And you are important. You may not be important to everyone, but you are to some people. Those people care about you. I care about you, we care about you. I am different too, I consider that a good thing. The one who gets to say if your difference is a good thing is you. You get to decide. Life is what you make of it, how you see it. that is bound to be different from how someone else see's it. And that is a good thing, because if you and I were the same, then life would be no fun. There would be nobody to talk to interestingly, because everyone would say the same thing as you. To quote another song: Crazy=Genuis. So does normal. Everyone is a genius in some way. Mozart was a genius, and he couldn't even read. But he was still a genius. No matter what your strengths or weaknesses are, you are still a genius in some way. And if--no when--you do leave, I will miss you, I will tell your story. Because you will leave sometime, we all will. Just know that you are not alone, and you never will be. *hugs* <3<3<3<3<3

Someone today made me feel really bad, like I was actually hurting someone.  They go by "?" on my "Do not translate" thread.  This is what they asked: "So, you just want to know what the German speakers on this site think about whatever you're asking? Why do the opinions of people who happen to speak German matter more than anyone else's? It's a bit odd. Why?"

I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings by writing "Am I wanted?" in German.  I was just too shy to ask it outright.  I wanted to safely say my feelings without anyone else knowing.  I keep my feelings on a tight leash, so when they get out of control, they come out hard and I don't really know what to do.  I wrote in German because I didn't think anyone would know it.  I am too scared to tell everyone outright that I feel unwanted. 

I allowed the posting of German because I can easily translate it, having studied the language in school. But I think now that we should just stick to posting in English, the language of Cricket. That will be fairer and easier all around.

Lucy, you are one of my closest friends on the CB. If you leave, I'll most likely be heartbroken. If you do leave the CB, I want to tell you something: we are supporters here on the CB. You can come back anytime. Please remember that. You've been on the CB so long! You've made everyone feel so lively and happy and wonderful! Everyone would be horrified and extremely sad (I hope) if you left. Please don't leave! Or do. Don't remember any of us, leave, and find something else. Everything in the world depends on your ideas. You don't just do it because someone tells you to. Think about that.

You have supporters, friends, good friends, and helpful people on the Chatterbox. Come back anytime you like. Please. *gives Lucy a huge hug* <333

Lucy that was so beautiful! Words really can't explain this so well. Things could never be the same without your amazing poetry and songs and everything you post on here. *Hugs*

Lucy, that poem is amazing! Please don't leave! Everyone is different, and everyone is weird. To quote my grandma's magnet, "The only people that are normal are the ones you don't know very well."

To answer your partially-asked question, you are wanted. Everyone is wanted. If one particular person didn't like one particular thing you said, that's okay. You are still an amazing person and YOU ARE WANTED.

My CAPTCHA says fzzy. Yes, I am feeling warm and fuzzy right now. I am not feeling fizzy like soda, though. That'd be weird. 

Response poem:

no ones truly an outsider

theres always

someplace to fit in

sometimes i would say,

"i wish

that i could be like the cool kids

because the cool kids

they seem to fit in."

but is that really

what I want?

maybe, sometimes

but not always.

I still see my friends

Julianna,

Blake,

Ellyse

to Me,

I guess

we're truly the

cool kids

we arent called

the potato squad

for nothing

Juju is bi

Ellyse is bi

Blake is trans

I'm too weird

but who's to say

That means anything?

Definitely

No one.

You're right, I

Shouldn't let one person

Bring me down.

They're only one person

In a world

Of over seven billion.
