Description
So, I've had some stressful junk happening as of late. But through it all, it's made me realize how much I've been verbally abusing myself. I want to be able to see nice things in myself as well as I see things in others. Because if I only see good things in others and not myself, I'll get feelings like jealousy or depression, and if I'm more positive toward myself, it'll help me be ready for more commitments and such. Not only relationships, but jobs and school too.So I'll be working on saying things like "I need to work on..." instead of "I cannot..." or "I'm terrible at...", and even if I considered myself fat, ugly, etc. before, I'm actually starting to realize I'm not as bad as I thought and my life's not too bad, either. I'm pretty lucky compared to some people. I mean, I fell in love with the most wonderful guy, I have a roof over my head, I have full access to phone, internet, and I even have 2 computers. I'm lucky enough to have grown up in a 2-parent home with parents who love each other as well as me and are super cool, have cats, had a dog, have so much stuff that I take for granted. you don't know what you got until it's gone, and now I see you have to live and try to enjoy life, right?
I know I also need to work on being more honest with myself and how I feel. If I feel like carp, then I feel like carp, I can't just slap on a smile and hide things from myself and friends. That doesn't mean I can just cry all the time, I also have to work on emotional strength, but I have to learn to depend on people more, but of course not too much.
Yeah, sorry for the rant and vent, just got stuff on my mind. Any more ideas about this stuff if you read all that above stuff?
Also here's an awesome, encouraging song:

Right? Although, I'll admit, when I drew this I felt more on the negative side.

Reinforcing yourself with positive things and thankfulness is actually a great way to enhance overall happiness and satisfaction, and actually is an aid/preventitive/cure/relief for depression! You're going about your struggles in the healthiest way possible and I applaud you for going about this in such a good way man. And to add onto you being pretty, friendly, nice, and smart... YOU'RE CUTE AS FUUUUU-. I MEAN LOOK AT YOU, YOU DREW AN EMOTIONAL CAT PICTURE THAT GOT MY HEARTSTRINGS BECAUSE IT'S CATS AND THEY'RE CUTE AND THE PICTURE IS MEANINGFUL. Whatever stressful junk is happening, is there any way I can help?

Thanks a lot! I'm pretty much better now, especially since color guard has ended, it wasn't really anything you could have helped with anyway, though. Your comment means a lot, though.

Sorry to hear your going through that, but I'm glad things are starting to lighten up ^^ Β
If your profile's correct, your 16 right? Well im 15, and have been doing pretty good with my self image so far. But I too have struggled in the past with myself Β and my confidence but slowly recovered. Here are some things I've discovered over the years and have helped me get by.
Β Everything in life is only For Now (quote taken from Avenue Q) For now we're in high school, for now we're healthy, for now there's comfort. These may or may not last forever. The good stuff as well as the bad stuff is only temporary, so it's best to enjoy these moments while you have them, because they won't last forever.
Β Find something about yourself you're really proud of! Whether it's art, singing, grade, or whatever, it can be anything. And once you've found that, you can laugh about everything else. For me that thing was my art and characters . I may not by the prettiest chick but I can draw a pretty damn good fox XD And because of that I joke about how I suck at math and i fail at modeling. Once I discovered this, my life was soo much happier.
Your only 16! You've got so much more self-discovering to do and explore. I do too! You still have to develop and grow first And even if you don't really like what's going on now, look to the future. Think of all the cool things you want to learn and see.Β
You seem to be getting a good idea on this tho. Now your starting to look at what you have instead of what you don't have. I kinda hate how I take those things for granted too. But you know, things could be better and they could be worse. I don't necessarily think i'm the prettiest girl but I don't think im hideous either. I don't think i'm fat but i'm not super skinny either. I'm never first for anything but i'm never last either. Β
Dont take life seriously but don't waste it either. You just kinda have to find that perfect balance for yourself.
Hope this helps you feel better ^^ - Jenn

Yeah, I think that helps, thanks! It feels great to know even someone who I barely know over the internet cares about me, too.
And from the rough times, which are bound to happen, you have to learn to grow, learn, and get stronger.
I know now what I need to be aiming for inside of myself, I just gotta figure out my external goals and such, self-discover more, and I'm set for going through all those obstacles.
Thanks for the input and for caring. <3
