    All I want is to be an author. That’s all. I could live with no one reading my books, with having to work at a fast food restaurant for a living, if I had two things: someone to publish my novels, and a TV Tropes page for them. That’s my dream. But I’m only fifteen, and […]

      Hey, I don’t know you, I’m fifteen too. I love writing, it’s what I live for, it’s the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes, most of the time. And I know exactly how you feel; I’d love for someone, anyone to publish my work, just to hear me out, just for someone to even to tell me I suck. I know your drive to get published, your drive to get your voice out there, your drive to think you could change the views of someone else in the world. And I’d love to read what you’ve written, even if it never gets published, even if I’m just some strange girl who you don’t know who believes in you, and wants to read the work of another teen who writes. Would you be interested? I know it’s a long shot, but I think its worth it. You interested?

      Hey, if you don’t mind me getting involved… I’m fifteen too and I understand both of you perfectly. Writing feels like my only escape from society. Sometimes I feel my only vaguely possible opportunity to be an artist lies in there. I feel too that I want to touch people with my words, let them see oher points of vew and inspire lives… But what knocks me out is not really knowing how making people understand all the feelings that lie behind someone’s writing or if mine will ever really be good enough. Anyhow, same as likelivingtheworld… Id love to read what you(both) write and listen. I’d love to tell you what I think and believe in you and be a support to achieve that dream. I dont know, but just having someone read and help out, would surely make me feel heard. Here’s my email if any of you want to send me anything: @hotmail.com">restrepo.margarita@hotmail.com

        I appreciate the support, both of you. And if I had anything worth reading to show you, I would. But all I have right now is a 65,000-word first draft which I wrote for National Novel Writing Month and haven’t edited whatsoever. Once I’ve figured out just how drastically the first draft needs to be changed, and what those changes need to be, I’ll start writing the second draft. But once again, thank you both. I feel better after reading your comments; it’s good to know that I’m not alone.

          No of course you’re not alone. Nevertheless, I’d love to read what you’ve written, no matter how rough, if you’re interested. My email is aherr77@gmail.com. I’m more than sure it’s worth reading, and if you’d like I can give you feedback/comments as well.

      You’re seriously $100K in debt? Credit card debt? Time for bankruptcy my friend. It’ll get the creditors to stop calling and will give you a plan and peace of mind. Call an attorney. That’s one way to start.

      Hey man. It’s never too late. There’s a saying that you have to eat an Elephant in small bites. Right now I’m sure it looks insurmountable, but even the smallest step towards change might create an Avanlanche towards something greater.

      There’s truth in your post, and certainty. The certainty is that if you don’t make a change of some kind, you’re right, your life is guaranteed to be ass until the grave. Hope will come from change, man. It won’t just fall out of the sky. And that’s frightening and it’s shit and it sucks, but that’s how it is.

      I don’t know about the debt. But I do know about no having much money to go around. The money has nothing to do with your ability to interact with your kids. Being a great dad is free. It’s just a matter or perspective, and if you don’t have money, ingenuity. You can do it.

      She sounds a bit like me, half the time I don’t know what’s wrong with me either. What you need to do, Is not think you have done something wrong. Because there’s a large possibility that you are not the one who has upset her or made her happy, because if it was.. She probably would have already told you. Just be there for her, don’t ask questions about what’s wrong and how you can help. That will make things worse. Be the great boyfriend you are, text her randomly and tell her you love her and soon enough her frown will turn upside down. Good luck *hug*

        its just taking a toll on me.. i just want things to get better.

          I know what you mean, it is hard. And don’t forget it must be hard for her too. Things will get better in time, but try not to rush it. I know you want things to get better, while it fixes itself and she has a bit of thinkig space. You just have to try and stay positive. On the bright side of things… Try listening to owl citys album; ocean eyes. (NOT fireflies, that’s overrated)

      I’ll let you in on a little secret of mine. I am the Prophet of Doom, if there ever was one.

      During the whole period I was in that relationship, I was constantly vocal (to others and to him) about how the relationship probably wouldn’t last, because we we’re both young (I’m 18, he’s 21) and because I was preparing myself for the worst. Secretly, I was hopeful it would work out, deep down.

      Essentially, I convinced myself that the relationship would fail.

      Whatever you do, just, don’t worry about “What if?”

      Take a leap of faith… just try not be hopeful. Remain slightly impassive. Or at least try to.

      the best thing about crying is that i don’t think it can kill you. a lot of times it helps! so give it a shot. what’s the worst that can happen? something really bad? we’ve all been through really bad things before, and here we are. also, you can always laugh. i’ve seen people laugh in the absolute worst of circumstances. i don’t want to breach any confidences by describing the exact circumstances in which i saw the most inspirational laugh, but let’s let it suffice to say that the laugh transcended the hospital.

      Aw babe, you shouldn’t be so pessimistic. I went through the same exact thing. Now I am completely over it and happier than ever.
      I had an online relationship with this amazing guy for almost 3 years. Suddenly, one day, he just moved on. I was devastated and I honestly believed I would never find anyone else like him. I wanted to give up on love. Then, a year later, I met the love of my life.
      What I’m trying to say is: you will eventually find someone. Someone better. Someone who will make you completely forget about this one.
      PS: I still have him on my buddy list as well as Facebook. We rarely talk, but when we do, I find myself wondering what I ever saw in him!

      i’m so happy im not alone. not the only one to have an online crush. even tho i have never met this guy and he lives 4 hours away he is literally my best friend. he knows everything about me and im pretty sure i know most about him. and im falling for him so hard. And i feel stupid whenever i tell people how happy he makes me and how much i smile when i see his name appear on my phone. I fantasize about the day we meet and what we are going to do and how we are going to realize we need to be together and since we have met we can now make it happen. We just cant make any drastic measures now since we havnt even met ya know? Lol i feel stupid saying it here!! I have never told anyone about the fantisizing part…lol. But anywho. Although i know none of that may never happen its still fun to think it would. And i hold on the the hope that it will happen like that. Anyways. the point of this reply really was to just say, im glad im not alone.
