@yourlocalIKEA lol yea that makes sense. 


So I’m sure you’ve gotten that my life is incredibly complicated. Back and forth between the states especially recently, we didn’t expect me to go back in October, and stay till January so that was super complicated but we have been planning on going back this summer for me to take drivers training and I need to get a job (finally gonna be old enough) so I’ll be insanely busy with my hopeful job, my classes, playing caretaker, and fitting in time with my friend I only see a handful of times a year bc idk when we’re gonna go back after this, but you also know my mother is incredibly strict. So yes I’ll bring my computer for my hw prob but we both know that’s not aloud in my room and I can’t sneak it unless mom works and then it’s like 11pm and well I’ll be exhausted by then lol. So yea as u see my Summer is gonna be complicated. Yippeee my crippling anxiety is gonna be 10x worse! Yep that’s the story I call life

I will. Im going for one main place but ill apply to others ofc, I did the math and if I work at minimum wage which in the US is 13 usd, 9 pounds, ill make around 2,000-2,500 usd, 1.498 to 1.872 in pounds, If those conversions are wrong sorry lol. But yea ill make that over the summer and most of it will go to savings ofc but im so excited bro. 

I am so glad my dead brain made u laugh lmao. Not where I live they don't. My definition of hot is 85-90 bc that's what it is here, and the humidity is insane, I haven't spent a summer in the states since we moved almost three yrs ago, so honestly i don't remember the weather situation there. But ik the Uv index getting up to five makes my friend jump up with happiness so I don't expect it to be sweltering lol (the uv index is 10-12 on average here)

I can't buy a car bc I wouldn't be able to use it lol not for many months of the yr at least plus grandpa buys us a car usually when we're there. I wanna just save it and see, cause me and my friend are talking about travelling to europe when im 18, so she can do a semester abroad and we can travel the countrys. I've always wanted to travel, its kinda a family thing lol, my mom travelled alot when she was in her 20's, and my sister has started to travel more now that she's 18 too.

Yea lol tropic weathers. Yea sunscreen is important, I've already gotten sun poisoning once. don't need it again lol. Yea ima work at a fast food place cause that's the only place that's gonna hire someone so young.  But michigan UV is nonexistant anyway lol.

@Macylou82 noo laces cannot wither away 🤔 do i need to add some fertiliser? 

i think when it comes to cups friendship i have to view it more in a 'oh it happened' kind of mindset instead of expecting much... Because for the reason we all met in cups is cause we're just all a bit messed up by society and honestly I don't want to put any more pressure on people here when ik most are barely holding on

and what ur saying is that ur doing real good alr 💗 by checking in and being there ur doing ur part of the friendship, and sometimes they won't be able to recipricate it as equally. I think we just have to keep in mind that friendships are unequal sometimes and we don't have to count it piece by piece ^^ maybe in the far future they'll do something nice back, or maybe they won't, but you being there for them probably made a big difference ✨ There might be also another friendship elsewhere where the other friend gives more to you than you can give back 

tis the wise words of ikea 😌 (at least i hope it was im feeling quite wise) i wont disappear if i am im dragging u with me wherever i go xD

@yourlocalIKEA lol maybe

I get that, and I agree with u. I don't really expect much until we become like really close, and then I shouldn't be surprised when they just disappear but I am and they do and it hurts i g. Even tho ik society has messed us all up, and all that jazz

Another lil selfish moment here. I hate being that person, I actually hate it so much. I'll never have a friendship where im not doing 90% of the work (except for u and maybe like one other person), and tbh its exhausting. Being the friend who's there for them its always one sided and its acc so stupid. 

Very wise words, I just vented lol. Consider you lucky, I usually stuff my opinions down where no one can see them. Pls drag me with u

@Macylou82 ok so ima edit this, after having some more time to think. 


Ok so yes I do get equality. I get how it can’t always be two sided, and my previous message expressed the hatred I have but I don’t have that hatred in a short moment, say a friend vented, ok im glad they trusted me and I’m glad I was there I’m not expecting to vent to them back. It’s in the long run yk? Always being there for them for months or a yr, checking in on them, being their shoulder to cry on in a way. But them not even caring about me, or checking in on me. I get how that sounds selfish. 
 I don’t have many friendship that it’s either them giving more to me then I can to them or it being equal. So that’s not really a thing often lol.    

Actually I (I think I did at least) just got out of a toxic (in a way) friendship. Where she was using me for her mental health. It’s as I just said, never checked in, never cared about me in the slightest, etc. and in the long run that hurts yk?   

I hope that cleared it up some, I don’t want to sound like it needs to be equal, no friendship is fully equal and that’s ok. But in the long run it’s truly exhausting to be there for everyone, and no one even caring about the toll it’s taking on you.

I do get ur feelings, yes, its rlly frustrating when that happens... i think when it comes to that point its important to decide whether u want to continue the friendship? it doesnt have to be a massive talk with the other person and letting go completely, but just leaving it be if they dont contact u

because ik ur trying real hard and i dont know how to express how much i understand ur situation, and perhaps i just dont want u to get hurt/sad over some random person that ur not rlly close with 🥲 or maybe just let it ponder and think about it for a while- these kind of decisions cant be done on a whim

im so so glad u decided to talk to me about it 💓 cause knowing u its probably been bothering u for a while 😔 i dont have a clear solution unfortunately 

sending hugs if ok🫂🫂🫂

@yourlocalIKEA what did I say that made you so proud? lol. 

See Im not a person who can just be like, you've hurt me repeatedly over the months, we're done yk? I'll continue to just let it drag on, I'll check on you every week, ill be there at nights when its too loud etc. It'll go on for like a yr and I'm still doing it. Ppl go and come back, and guess who's waiting? I just can't let go, im too clingy bc I love our friendships, even tho im getting hurt in the process, and I don't wanna lose that. 

Ik im not the only one, who's dealing with these lovely one sided friendships which makes me sad bc they truly suck, and their exhausting so I don't really want u getting me lol. Yea I mean some of them I am close with, the toxic friend I (I think I truly do not know) just escaped. We only knew each other a month so we weren't really close, and lowkey I was done with her before she said that goodbye. But then theirs some, I am close with and I get hit in the gut every time they disappear.  I've been thinking about this for months lol, I even tried to take action on one friendship, lots of tears and we're still friends lol. So I ponder and write about it and ponder some more knowing ill never take action lol. 

Yea how did this turn into a rant? I thought this was just a deep convo, I have no clue how this turned personal, i've never acc told anyone about any of this. yk ppl go blaming themselves and all that jazz *points at you* you best not take it personal, bc I am not talking about you in the slightest.  Nahhhh, just a few months...  thx tho kale for listening to my i g this was a rant? truly idk but whatever it is thank u. u da best. Now lets get off me? bc school takes over ur plate, I don't wanna add to that. How is school going? 

hugs hugs and hugs

@Macylou82 im just proud of u for opening up rlly 💓 theres been more than a few times where uve listened to me and im happy to listen back 


its alright to ponder for a while, and ultimately it is ur decision to decide what to do with the friendship...  plus u can rant at me for as long as u like if it makes u feel even a teeny tiny bit better ✨
is there anything at the moment that ud want to do to tidy this stuff up a bit? as Ive said before it doesn't have to be a serious 'take action', just stuff ud want to do gradually/ is thinking about

*points back at you* in the 'ppl go blaming themselves back' lmao we both need to stop hugging all the troubles and say its our fault 😔a deep convo is supposed to get personal tho lol

im still in the freedom of easter holidays so tis no school and I am great🤠 ive just been doing some work here and there but not that much
being busy at school is fine its the fact they take away our devices that gets me  😭✌️

@yourlocalIKEA I still feel bad but Alr. Fr u da best 

ik ima still do nothing lol. It’ll never change and tbh I should just accept that. I second that for u. Anything u wanna rant about, I’ll be right here listening 

idk what I’d do, to tidy it up. All I wanna do is smash my phone so no one can contact me lol. I can’t do that obvi but I can always dream. 

It’s in our human nature lol. U are right lol. 

Ooh nice, holidays rock fr. Ugh yea ok that’s the worst. Why do they take ur devices, so u focus better? Distractions?

@Macylou82 ur so real for wanting to smashing ur phone lmao 😭 its like how sometimes i just want to sneak out of school (when im in school) and never go back

alrighty if u do want to make any decision but feel unsure just leave it to the almighty kale to sort it out haha 😃 worst case scenario we can filp a coin to decide

im not even sure why they take our devices 😔 its better this year since im in sixth form (i think its called a junior) so i have my phone and laptop more but for younger years they literally have so much less 🫠 they claim it distracts us less but people either have a second phone or hand in a fake device lmao

off topic but has cups gotten a lot more ads recently?? ive got like 3 on one screen when im on chat etc.

@yourlocalIKEA lmao running away from school is so real tho too 

I might just take u up on that, I hate making decisions sm. Ill be asking u, fish. or pork for lunch lmao. 

So the older one's get more perks, eh? I would literally suffer sm I cannot live without my phone.  I'd def give my main one tho and keep my second too lol. 

I thought that was just me, their everywhere. Like rn there's one besides me, can't read it but its there lol.

@yourlocalIKEA I used to eat fish and chips but I can’t even remember the last time I ate fish and chips lol, but that’s the only kind of fish I like. I just ain’t a fish fan 🤷 

they better work, I was literally coughing for like 30min this morning nonstop. I’ve never had such a persistent cough bro 

damn I get u tho, my arm hurts if I do anything with my shoulders. My shoulders literally pop if I bring it over my head.  I just twisted it trying to figure out how It pops again lmao. Hope ur arm feels better soon tho

@Macylou82  opening a whole new thread because i have so much to say plus uve messaged me

 

Thanks so much for remembering me I feel like u deserve a rundown of my life because quoting u 'we've been friends for around a year' and honestly laces thank you so so so so so so so much for sticking around so long

 

So what happened was

  1. Normal school time which gets me busy enough, as we all know
  2. Exams coming up which makes me even more busy lmao

TW:

And well, the school found out about some of my fruit ninja tendencies, and since I'm in a boarding school and all that, the process turns out to be a lot more complicated? Or maybe im just making it more complicated lmao

 

The school had to do a bunch of safeguarding stuff i.e. telling the higher-ups, I have to see a doctor, and long chats with teachers, and telling my parents

 

Which honestly, is not great- as it has caused me more stress even tho its suppose to help me

and somehow now ive lowkey gone mute :P I don’t know what this is but im not speaking rn? Like I can communicate and shake and nod my head but beyond that im not really saying anything

And my friendships are falling apart cause im not speaking yipee 

ngl this situation is so scary and im kinda crapping my pants because i have no idea what this is

 

And that is how my life is <3

@yourlocalIKEA what! Well ill be a lil more free in july so maybe that's not so bad? 

I hope I am too lol, massive massive hugs.  Do u want to hear that? my life is, overwhelming, stressful? I wanna hide in a hole and never come out, care to join? 

How do I sum this up, my grandpa has prostate cancer, oh that was easier then I thought. My grandmas off her meds so lets see if her memory goes bye bye, and I get to be fake me for two and a half months, burn out here I come! That's kinda the jist, I ain't gonna spiral over everything lol. I've done enough spiraling in the last three days for a lifetime.

@yourlocalIKEA Nah kale thank u so so so so so much for sticking around fr, ur one of my best friends here, and one of the only ones who hasn't permanently left, which u are not aloud to do, ok? 

Yea school and exams sound exhausting ngl

Crap ppl finding out is the worst. Its acc so scary and it sounds terrifying since sm else has to happen since ur at a boarding schooling. 

I really hope the doctor and the talks go ok, im wishing u a lot of luck fr. 

Why are we kinda the same, I do smth similar when im in the states. Im sorry about ur friendships tho, hopefully they know your just going through it rn, idk if they know what's happening, but I hope they stick around. Ppl finding out is scary enough but this sounds straight up like a nightmare, im sorry kale

the states lol. Back and forth and back and forth.  

Also I’m a lil mad this phone broke a lil cause it was stuffed in my backpack.  Not badly but there’s a weird red line crossing the battery signal and WiFi signal. I’m worried to see how my computer faired lol.
