I guess this blog is just about whatever is on my mind, so don't mind the random rambling :/
So. I'm a teen. Yes, I'm just realizing that. Kind of makes me sad. I always thought I was more mature. But nah, screw maturity. I guess this is my stage. Or maybe THIS, this blog, is my stage. UGH teenagers and their little stages. I really hope this isn't a stage of mine, but just an area of my life that still needs to learn.
Do you (whoever is reading this) love your family? Or are you just living with them? Did you get your mothers a present because you love her? Or did you get her a present just because it was Mother's Day? My family is one of those families that doesn't tell each other that they love her. I guess we're just supposed to know it. How? I've never heard my family tell me they loved me. Or how much they were proud of me whenever I did anything. I've only heard them say, "Don't you know how much I love you?" I always think in my head, "No," because I really don't know how much they love me.
Sure, I understand you are doing some of these things to protect me. But how am I supposed to live life in a cage? I'm sure my father didn't live in a cage through the Vietnam War. I want to go through these things. I'll live with the consequences. I want to be stronger. Living in a cage with you feeding me isn't going to help me, it's going to kill me.
Sometimes my family makes me sad...they don't know me. No, I'm not going to rant about how they don't understand me blah blah blah I'm going to cut myself now. I'm never going to give up. They don't know me. They don't know why I'm like this. My friends are not the only ones to make me act like this. It's my family.
They've made me realize if no one tells me how good I'm doing, I better do it myself. A little conceited? Oh well. I'd rather hear someone talking about how great they are (when they actually are) than someone complaining how they suck ass so much. I believe a high self esteem leads you to high places. I don't like people who complain about themselves. Even if whatever you complain about might be true, zip it. I think it's unattractive.
I don't want to sound like...I don't know how to explain it really. I guess I don't want to sound ignorant or anything. So please, anyone who can help. Enlighten me.
Recently I got my hair cut, and some of you know that getting my hair cut had caused a big rucus. I stayed out of the house for a day and did NOT want to go back home. My mind was determined to go away. I was done with them. I could handle them, but it took too much energy. Well, just this morning my mother had told me to cut my hair again, for it was too long. Has she not realized that I don't care? Has she not realized my father doesn't care? She definitely knows she can't make me do anything, only my father has that power. And does she not realize what kind of stress this is just causing her?
I don't understand why she has to care so much. Don't say it's because she loves me. You cannot love someone just because of their hair. If I have to change for your love, then I don't need it. I'm perfectly fine without a mother's love, because I have love for myself. No matter how big my belly is getting or how pale my skin looks, yes, I LOVE myself.
I am awesome. I don't care what you say. I'm awesome. I'm awesome. I'm awesome.
The last paragraph had just reminded me of an Oprah show I saw a while ago, (yeah, Oprah's awesome too). It was about this girl who had lost over 100 lbs because her father didn't love her. He didn't love her, his own daughter, because she was FAT. I was waiting for Oprah to tell him that he should love her without her needing to change. She just told him how proud she was that he was so "truthful".
I wanted to spit at the TV. She had to lose weight for her father's love? NO. You do not just love anyone because they lose weight. She was his daughter. That love should've been there along with her weight.
Yes, I do believe I've experienced loved. I love my friends. And that's all. I TRULY love my friends. It's not a love where you just say it, because everyone else does. I really love them. I've never felt a connection stronger. Ugh, I'm sorry this sounds kinda cliche or w/e maybe. Or how it doesn't like I'm describing love for my friends. It's just, I love my friends. (and I'm also really sorry it's starting to sound gay...man, my self esteem is lowering. I'M AWESOME I'M AWESOME I'M AWESOME)
Alright, I would rant about more, but I need sleep. I applaud whoever read this far<3 *clap clap*
