who let a 12-year-old run a blog

i hope that you can take this part of your life with me and carry it forward with vigor and happiness!! i want to keep this short, but if you wanna listen to me ramble one more time, you can check it out under the cut! :)

see you later! we’ll always be a part of the team!!!

happiest new year to you all!!!!! may your 2018 bring you the happiness you deserve.

thank you so much!!! and of course, all the best to you too!!!!! :) i hope life carries you forward with new year.

give yourself time!

you’re very brave for telling her, and it kinda sucks major that she didn’t reciprocate. but, you know? she still probably loves you a lot, even if it’s platonically. let me say that that truly counts for something, and it’s something you must be grateful for having.

honestly? i think you should keep loving her with all your heart. now this is important: don’t let that change how you are as friends. don’t let yourself become greedy! you also don’t want to become possessive. take what you are given and be grateful for every bit of it, and in return, give a lot of love too. just like, boil it down to it’s purest form; what is loving meant to be?

to me, it means that you want to see that person you love be happy.

when it comes to making others happy, you should never sacrifice parts of yourself, especially your own happiness too. things can still hurt but that’s just part of the heartache. but in the end, if you love someone, just love them. love them in love’s purest form; finding joy when they’re joyful!

eventually, feelings change. and love? love is something that always grows. your crush-love can become a friend love and it’s not going to be or mean anything less, especially to the recipient.

you don’t have to let her know more than once, so as to not make her uncomfortable. but you can still show her that you care for her, and that you’ll stick by her, as friends should!

awww, thank you so much!! i’m so glad that i could help you like that, it means a ton to me.

thanks for trusting me! i hope all those tough times get better.

hello!!!!!!!

i’ll be real i’m actually just clearing out my inbox and drafts because... i’m gonna close this blog!!!! sorry if that’s a big ol’ bummer or anything. i think i’ve done a lot of good here, and i won’t stop doing good, but i’ll be moving forward!

golly i hope nothing’s gone wrong!!!!!!!! >:O

i mean… well, to be completely real, there’s always things going wrong. somewhere, to someone you don’t know, something really bad has happened. but also at every moment, something has gone right too. someone smiled, someone laughed, someone got a hug, someone got a rad new warm blanket for the winter, someone has changed the world.

i don’t get this feeling at all. i sorta believe that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. if you believe something will go wrong, you start actively looking for the things that are going wrong that you don’t pay attention to the things going good and right. like, it seems like a bird losing its flight feathers is really tragic, when you didn’t see the bird was making room for newer better feathers and has taken flight.

i understand that anxiety is this constant chill in your spine. almost always, things won’t be as bad as the things your mind conjures up.

it sounds dumb and preachy, but positivity is a mindset, and one that’s learnable. you might have thoughts like “what if something goes wrong?” positivity isn’t the lack of thinking that, but it’s answering those questions with “i’m sure it won’t, and here’s why.”

and more than that, if you feel like something is going to go wrong, you have the power to stop it. you have the strength and the smarts and the ability to turn things around. that’s the wonderful and amazing part of simply being human.

Distance between us and I feel like nothing was fixed. I just feel like such a jerk, like I ruined our friendship and I don't know what to do because I miss them so much and they already accepted that we wouldn't be friends anymore before I even knew they were mad at me (2/2)

aaaaaa gosh im so sorry about this super late reply. i hope in the time it took me to answer you that something has gone better.

in my experience, when someone has done something to wrong me and they apologize and all that, then that becomes something in the past. from there, you were beginning at 0, weren’t you? and 0 is a good beginning.

they accepted your apology, so you build up from there. you say hi, it can be as simple as that.

you cannot keep “missing” them, especially when they’re right there. you can’t keep longing for the days of how it used to be because it won’t be the same, and you can’t long for the person your friend used to be because your friend is a different person now. you gotta learn that new person, and love them the same way. that’s what growing together is all about!

there is someone who i became incredibly mad at one time, and they sent me an apology which i had refused to accept at all. it stayed like that for half a year. i was convinced that i would never be their friend, and vice versa. but you see, people change. feelings change too! we started at the worst possible starting point and now im comfortable sending them a meme and nothing else.

thing is, i believe they still feel guilty for what had initially angered me. i think they’re still hesitant, that they’ll anger me again. but they’re very brave. we would not be where we are if they were not as brave as they are.

so what i’m saying is; be brave. friendships are an effort, and it is never too late to mend one. you must try hard. when people see you trying your best, they’ll try their best too.

i hope this helps in some way!!!

it’s going good! i’m starting school soon myself, so it’s been hectic!

the start is always hectic to get through, but you gotta power on!! you’ll get the hang of it again soon enough.

if it’s like... people drama? i think the best thing is to stay out of it, focus on your schoolwork, and on taking care of yourself. it sounds a little bit selfish but making sure that you’re good is gonna help make sure the other people around you that you care about are good too.

now okay i’m a little bit partial to staying in school and trying to learn in class, because that’s just the type of student i am!! set yourself up for success, you know? so that if the things you were chasing fall through, you always have something to fall back on, and make yourself reliable. you might not always like your teachers, since the education system of America has failed us severely, but just play the notes to their song and make something you’re proud to tell stories of.

take it day by day. a planner is a huge help actually!! if you have trouble managing when to work and when to hang, allot time slots and lay out a plan and stick to it! it helps settle your mind a bit if you feel overwhelmed by all the things to do.

and i think this is really important!! set aside some time for yourself! just like, do it!! just set aside a few hours of pure destressing play on saturday nights or whatever works for you!! things get tough real fast, but they feel even tougher when you don’t let yourself a bit of time to unwind and relax. if there’s clubs at your school, find one to join that might help you out!!

good luck in school, to everyone!!!

aww, thank you!!! this is such a sweet message. this warmed my heart so much!!

everything is alright!! it’s just that i’ve been very tired lately and very busy. i hope you can forgive me!!
