Entering contest here...

Well, as of late, I haven't been feeling myself much. I've grown so bitter and cynical about my life, seeing it as nothing more than a cruel joke. I'm pretty losing my faith in others due to the fact that I can't seem to find the good in anyone anymore. All I see are ugly-hearted, shallow, idiotic excuses of the human race, and that all I want to see is the world burn to ashes for all I care...

Or so it seems to be. The only reason I feel like that is because I've had bad experiences with a couple people, on and offline, and I don't feel like trusting anyone at all because of those people hiding behind a computer screen or events that happened long ago in my past with my family and former "friends." I'm just a vulnerable guy whose heart is locked up because of recent events taking a toll on my mental health. Maybe...

I've forgot to love. I've forgotten to love life and the people that are in it, and because I see the negatives more than the positives almost all the time, I've become a bitter sadsack of a guy who can't cry it out because the well dried up long ago for me. I've felt betrayed, beaten, and bruised from enduring such abuse, and I gotta give it to myself, I have endured a whole lot, from having my dad leave my family, to being beaten by my mom harshly for years until she finally got her act together and stopped, but not before I got really depressed. I've endured so much physical, emotional, and mental pain that would've killed me if I had let it consume me entirely and make me resort to suicide, but it didn't. I gotta be proud I lived through so much and still not lose much of who I am. I hope I find happiness in myself, as well as make more friends I can truly trust in. I love you all for getting me through my troubles, and I'm sorry for being so unhappy that I ruin everyone's day. I hope I will get much better and overcome these obstacles in my life. You guys are the reason I never went to sleep forever. I know I can do better, and I know I can be a more loving, caring, less cynical friend.

I'm proud that I can man up and say all this, because I spoke it from the heart, and because I wanted you guys to know that I'm not a bad guy at all. I'm a loving, caring kid that truly needs help to be happy. I don't wanna hurt anyone at all, and I truly want you to know that I want to talk it out so I can walk it out.

, , , , and , try out this contest...

Also, thanks, . You helped me find this contest and helped me get some things off my chest. I love you...

:3

Also, sorry it's so long...

😅

Thank you for pinging me! And don't worry, I read what you said and it's very deep. Good luck in the future! ❤

Let's see... one good thing about myself... I'm a bit sensitive and try very hard to think about others' feelings... I also try to help others when they need it. Once during a church service a church member was helping a 9 month(?) old learn to walk. His legs weren't that strong though, and I was worried he'd fall and hurt himself. So I went over there and offered my hand to keep the little guy from falling. :)

Also sorry if my post is long....

something nice about myself, huh? not something i think about much XD i guess i like that i'm a good listener, i'm always there for my friends, people i know, even when i really cant be bothered, and i will listen to them for hours if i need to. And give advice, if i think they need it, even though sometimes they just need to rant, and not actually get any response, and i can deal with that too ^^

and i'd like to ping to join in with this :D

This week's one is the most difficult for me xD

I'm proud that I didn't give up when trying to build my business, even when it seemed like it wasn't working out for many years. And I'm happy that I was able to help my parents when they needed it after all they've done for me and my sister, and that I'm able to take care of my sister who has been diagnosed with M.E., so that she doesn't have to struggle alone.

See first post, contest :)

I'm actually really proud of myself for writing again. It's something I enjoy doing, and something that I spent a long time not doing enough of. I also really want to thank for helping me get back into it and being a cheerleader while I do it ❤️

I am glad that I'm helping you! On a less serious note though, I spent half the night yesterday coming up with new little plot thingers??? Lmao. Tumblr tricks me into ideas a lot B)

One good thing about me is that I'm very patient and sympathetic with people and that I'm open-minded in general. I'm good at looking at a situation from another person's perspective so in the end it gives people space to be themselves and not have to worry about what I think about it. Several friends have told me that they can only show/do or talk about certain things to me because I don't judge or make fun of anything. I guess it's because I don't want anyone to be ashamed of who they are or the things they like because of what people think or say to them as I certainly know what that's like.

You know me B) I'll let you know next time I see you online. Mwah ha ah

I just wanted to post..

I have read what you have posted so far today, and I am overjoyed with the love I see :) Ya'll are amazing to me. <3

I like a lot of things about myself, but if I have to pick what I love, I'd have to go with my voice (at least the way I hear myself when I talk!). I also enjoy my sarcasm, especially when it's surrounded by other sarcastic people and we can all be sarcastic without offending each other. :D

This is a fun activity, come join!

• I have beautiful hair.
• My skin is really good.
• I'm a great knitter.

Pinging c:

Saying something nice about myself was far harder than I expected, which really got me thinking.

So I'm going to go with something simple: I'm a good cook/baker. I make pretty much everything from scratch and people rave about my desserts. I'm not afraid to try new recipes and even though they don't always turn out well, I don't let that stop me. XD

Thank you for the ping, wifey. <3
