I'm trying not to focus on the negative, and I keep trying to tell myself she'll get better soon, but the thing that bothers me the most is that I don't know if she will.

If you pray, please keep her in your prayers. I'm sure she'll appreciate them. :/

But you need to be strong if not for your own sake, but for her sake, too. If the situation were reversed, and you were the one that's sick, I doubt you'd like to see her falling apart over you. Just be there for her, let her know that you love her and you're rooting for her, and keep in mind that you got your KP family behind you (including me). We all luff you, hon. And I sincerely hope things get better for you and your mother.

Hospitals freak me out to no end. o_e I remember we went to visit my gramma after her hip replacement (which ended up as a failure of epic proportions... -_-) and I stayed in her bedroom while my mom took her for a walk... and the lady next to us was in extreme pain but they had her all drugged up, so occasionally she would move and shift around but it was so freaking creepy... and all those machines... (*shudders*) It just was so unsettling I cried a little while I sat there... Sitting in a hospital is torture... ;_;

Sorry... this can't be making anything better, can it? x_x
I'm sorry that she has to be staying in a place like that... hospitals... (*shivers*)

The point is, people like what you made. You honestly do NOT know how much I envy your ability to draw. And your style of writing? Don't even get me started. All I can say is this: No matter what you think, your fans are your fans, and they know what's good and what isn't good. And you are your own biggest critic.

You...don't....write........anymore?
What is the meaning of those words? o.o Why can my brain not understand them?? Oh, that's right, because you not writing is a crime not only against yourself, but ALL OF YOUR FANS! O_O You DO know you have fans, right? Yeah. Us. The crazy peeps with top hats and exploding breakfast foods.

Honestly....okay, I'm sorry, but now it's MY turn to vent. -____-
I'm not going to name any names here, but all of the sudden, a bunch of my epic writing friends have stopped writing. O_O And my question is....WHY? You all still seem to have great ideas! <:^D There are so many new stories and characters to unleash on the Internet. What invisible horrible monster from under the bed is making everyone just up and quit? ;_;
*le end vent*

ANYWAY.........*re-reads all of that* Woah, that sounded...unusually harsh. D: If you think that came out harsh, I'm sorry to the 5th power, that's not how I meant it.

Good. I hoped my losing my ability to form actual words would amuse you. XD

"...it makes me feel way better than if someone were to say I was beautiful, or beautiful on the inside or whatever... I don't know why. I guess it's because it's the only thing that makes sense."

;_; But it doesn't make sense to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Sandy...you're beautiful, and if you can't see that than kjhxasfdsfjklsjkbgfkjbdsgfkjbsdbgfkjbsfgjkbs you need bifocals, man. XD XD DX DX

....Look, Sandy, I really don't know what else to say, other than putting everything in a nutshell and giving it to you. x__x I'm sorry. I'm at a weak point right now. Like I said, I can't even see my friends without having a mini-meltdown.

You know what, Sandy? That's what my sisters did to me. o_o They decided one day that I was no longer worth the effort it took to take care of me, so they "flipped out" and "just left". I'm never going to do that to anyone--ESPECIALLY a friend--no matter how hard it gets. I don't even think I have the capacity to do that to anyone. So, I'm sorry, but you're kind of stuck with me until you tell me to get lost. XD

All I can say right now is:
~ You're an incredible person inside and out,
~ Your writing AND art is spectacular, and I wish you could see that,
~ Your brother was VERY VERY VERY VERY VEEERY rude for doing that and I wish I could make him see the error of his ways, and
~ I care about you a lot. If you ever feel like I'm smothering you (I tend to do that *headdesk*) just tell me to put a sock in it and take a hike, and I will. :^B

Thanks for listening. <:^J

I think your art and writing's great, and I'm telling you the truth. You shouldn't give up on writing and art because you think it sucks. Every writer or artist will try to get better and eventually get better, and then think their old stuff sucks. And then start thinking that their next masterpiece will stink too. But there will always be others who like it. It's like writing a word, seeing that it's ugly and you can barely read it, but still leaving it there because it's a waste of time to try to erase it when you can move on to your next word.

I don't know if that just made sense or not.

I just need help standing up for myself. Like, how can I make myself not care what anyone thinks? Thanks in advance.

They walk off every time, and about half the time they're focused on how much you say prove it instead of what you're telling them to prove.

:D

(I'm clearly not in a good mood. -.-)


I'm so tired of being ignored in life...people say I'm a good writer and that I'm nice but that's about it. They don't want to care about me. Nobody does. And maybe this is just teen hormones, but I have to get it out anyway. Singing and writing are my two great escapes...and recently the writing one has been blocked up so...all I have is singing. I need people to realize that...I'm more then what they think I am. There's more to me then just some random girl who writes a lot and plays sports and sings. I have dreams every night of me being a famous singer and I never want to wake up from those. Where people actually love me and my music. True, there are haters, but I would always have my friends, family, and fans to lean on.

XD I shall be there by your side cheering you on with the rest of America, too! ^___^

All over one tiny misunderstanding. What the hell is going on? Moreover, what should I do about it? Relocate the letter to somewhere my little sister is less likely to see? She is an over-sensitive child as it is.

Do not get me wrong, my family has been stable for as long as I can tell. Something melodramatic is happening. If you want details to make an educated judgement, fair enough. Ask and you can hear the full story.

We all waited until half an hour ago when the error meant they could not come around, my parents argued, my mother stormed out with my little sister, my dad walked out afterwards, leaving the letter and the ring, basically he says he's packing up tomorrow and leaving us.

You're one of the nicest, non-selfish people I've ever met, and you don't deserve to hear that. I'm sure your Mom loves you alot, she's probably just in a bad mood or something. :/ I hope everything works out.

You're not selfish. :/ I don't know if she actually thought it was true or if she was just upset, but your mother is completely wrong to blame you.
If it's not better when you're older, at least you won't have to ask her to drive you places and stuff… And when you're old enough to move out, you'll be okay and things will get better, because you're too epik for that not to happen. :'D
