so.

a friend recently noticed that i haven't been myself for the last few months, and i hadn't really thought anything of it to be honest. however, she noticed that i have been going off the rails, drinking far too much, not communicating with my family, taken up smoking again (which is really irritating for me). so she talked to me about it on tuesday, and asked what had been going on recently. so i told her how my confidence is shot because i got awful exam grades last month, and i have no motivation to do anything, because i don't really see my life going anywhere at this point. in addition to that, my family argue all the time, and pay little or no attention to me. she gave me a hug and and a tissue and said that she would be there when i needed her.
i opened up my notebook today to find a sticky note saying 'you are important'. i continued to flick through the book to find numerous sticky notes, all saying things like 'show them you can do it' and 'don't give up'. now normally i don't go for all this sentimental stuff, but she knew that it was the lift i needed.
i genuinely feel a lot more positive. i'm taking every day as it comes, and not wasting time dwelling on all the crap in my life.

so i'm going to keep all those sticky notes, and stick them around my room, to remind myself that at least someone believes in me, even if it isn't myself at the moment.
