I don't need people rubbing the salt in my wounds whether it's to make fun or in an attempt to "help" me. I'm reaching a point where I literally want to just snap and start cussing people ou...... 4 reply
I hate them seeing me as not capable of doing anything. Like, teachers wouldn't give me any task to do at school even though they don't even know me, because I give that look. I was the quiet girl who was lucky in exams to cheat and theachers never noticed me when they were asking questions but one day I found out. I would literally never care abou...... reply
Hmm, I thought my wishes were pretty simple. I've always liked watching TV, listening to music, reading novels and comics, so from a very young age, I was a dreamer. I even turned my life dream into an actual novel.
I wanted to be married and have a child by 24 with a lot of close friends, but it was not to be. Instead, here I am at 24 (turned Nov ...... 4 reply
