for everyone

NOTHING makes sense anymore. At all.

I'm not entirely sure where it started. I think it started becoming apparent last night (early this morning, actually) when I lost my patience in the basement of Silent Hill 0rigins' Cedar Grove Sanitarium (yeah, I play SH, it's great. :D) because I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME get to where I needed to be. I guess that game has become a working metaphor of my life, considering I let a couple monsters finish off Travis a few minutes later just so I could turn the stupid console off because I was getting nowhere.

I think my brain is broken. Nothing is going the way I need it to. I'm really hoping it's a simple fix, something like three months of freedom and no school. I know I'll be needing that either way, because this school is strangling the life out of me. It's in a freaking bubble. A bubble full of stupid people with no personality, no knowledge of reality, nothing but their insane amounts of money for things like iPhones and luxury SUVs. There's no imagination, no compassion, no sense of unity, no nothing. The district is really good at faking it but it's not there. If you've ever seen a fish that's about to die of ammonia poisoning, that's what my mind is like right now.

I don't know what has gotten into me but I am a LOT less willing to just accept life in a bubble. The world is much more beautiful outside it and I want out. I want something I can't get here. Escaping that bubble is my rebellion, because I may be a "stupid teenager" but I'm not about to mess with anything like drugs/alcohol/sex/etc. because that is truly stupid. Unfortunately, just as in every rebellion, there are people against it, which I understand, but that's frustrating too because......well,  because I'm stubborn, obviously, but also because I feel like maybe I'm old enough to do at least some thinking for myself. I don't know everything and I don't pretend that I do but I try, y'know? I try to do a bit better than the average teenager.

 

I just wish people had a little more faith in me is all. And I hope I'm making some sense.

i think that you are severely burned out and when school is over, you will be able to relax.

you are definitely not like other teens. you are a very good young woman and you have a lot going for you. you seem to have this restless spirit that might be driving you a little crazy right now. i felt that somewhat when i was still at home and a teenager. it was hard. i felt like my mother was choking the life out of me by keeping the leash so short. it was nice to break free when i went to the air force.

because i think i am very different than my mother was with me, i truly believe that you will find that relief much sooner. like i have told you before, don't even give these other kids at school that bug you so much another thought. in many ways, they are having a hard time just like you because they are teens, too, who are probably feeling suffacated like you. it has been harder for you because we have not been doing well financially, so we can't just escape to the beach when we want, or go on a shopping spree.

but no matter what; i guarantee that you are a much better human being than some of your peers and i am confident that you will be a wonderful adult. i promise you that you will find some peace and relief sooner than you think...

i love you, sweetie pie!!!!

no matter what anyone tells you...you rock, Jess! Look how many posers and imposters are out there...very few REAL people, but you happen to be one of them and your mom is one of them and there's others out here. Don't be discouraged, sweetie, you just need some breathing time and time to empty out the brain and reorganize. It happens to all of us. I'm about ready for school to be out too...I'm so tired of the working part of it...I love my kids, I can't stand the grown ups!! Bunch of idiots...
