Heather, since you said you don't want to hear any compliments, or you want to hear others pain, look. Ha. I sound pathetic, like a ghost of christmas pasts or something. I don't know. Fine. I need to spew. My pain is overwhelming. I see NOTHING anymore. Nothing matters anymore, and my parents lie so much that I can't even distinguish if they EVER tell the truth anymore. Like, for instance, today, and my mom kept saying don't say you didn't do anything, because you did, i saw you. And I'm like, no I fucking didn't you have no right to fucking ground me, and so of course I get fucking grounded for a week or so. So WHAT. I don't care anymore, I can't do ANYTHING anymore, I'm dead to myself, there is no Sophie, Sophia, or anyone else anymore, there isn't me, there's just this girl who seems to be having a helluva lotta conflicted feeling and no, I don't think she knows how to solve any of the damn problems. So when I pour myself out, I hear this empty, hollow noise and so I laugh, because so many of the smiles are false, so much is made up, who's to say that the science and math is wrong, and we're all just stupid paws on a chessboard, waiting to taken? Oh and is life so precious? Is it? I wait, and I sit, and I just don't understand, how life can be so precious, when depression exists, and why is there depression in the first damn place? I'm not recognizing anyone, anything, anything that happens anymore, so I'm an empty bag and I'm just not here anymore, and I don't recognize myself, which is terrifying, if for some obscenely strange reason you were wondering why the fuck I'm even posting that comment. So I don't feel anything,s o what, everything is crushing down on, heavier than that goddamn twenty-pound backpack that I carry around with myself when I'm at school, pretending.
I can't cry.

Godfuckingdammit.
I'm sorry, Sophie, I completely missed this yesterday. /headdesk
BUT FEAR NOT. I'm here now... /handsSnickers
First things first: it gets better. We're in a really tough spot right now, Soph, all of us 8th graders, applying and stressing and worrying the freak out about test scores and being perfect role models and shit. It's horrid to go through depression on top of this, but you know how life goes: it doesn't give a fuck. It hands us stuff on a silver platter but we don't know whether it's poisoned or not, and when we refuse to try it, we get no other food, no nourishment to keep us going. I was like that too, remember? I didn't recognize myself or anyone, I was just an emotionless drifting organism and I didn't feel at all, it was horrible, it was terrifying, and ultimately, it was RIDICULOUS. Because Sophie, let me ask you this: what is the point of life if not to live? Indeed, we MUST live, because it's our duty to the world. We intruded upon it and made it bad, we live to fix it and fix ourselves in the process--at least, this is what I believe. Okay? Do you see what I'm saying? This is why I've been so frustrated lately: I want to get out and DO something, I don't feel like living MY life anymore--I want to go on an adventure and I want to be passionate and brave instead of sniveling and feeling nothing, and I think you'd rather that to the alternative as well. Unfortunately, since we can't just get the fuck away because of reasons I articulated in my rant (see: when I'm saying why I can't kill myself, it's basically the same reasons), we must deal with life as it comes to us. And within our boring monotony, we must find ways to LIVE within our life. We mustn't shake our heads and sigh at every little thing. Fill yourself up while you can, Sophie, life is short and never forget it. Live each and every day with no roleplaying but yourself: become yourself, FIND yourself. I know it's not such an easy thing to do. I know it gets so goddamn hard and you want to cry. But you can't cry--you know that. You'll do no such thing as pathetic and weak as cry. (Even if some tears do not fit the qualification, it makes you feel burning up from within and saddens you more. I advise against crying for the time being. Screaming into pillows, on the other hand...) Conjure up emotion and really FEEL it. Read poetry, lots and lots of poetry--poetry is good for getting the emotional juices flowing. And write poetry, too--you're excellent at that, it shouldn't be a problem. Live your normal, common, exhausting, everyday life, and live it WELL. Enjoy your time because believe it or not, you don't have much left. That's my advice to you.
