Sucker for punishment...

Alright... not sure if this is good idea or not, but I'd like to pose a question, and get only anonymous responses in return, to ensure honesty (hopefully). All I ask is that your answers are truthful and not needlessly cruel. I'm not saying I only want good things said, I just mean don't be retarded and try and cut me up on here without reason ( Read more... )

The fact that you're posting this in your journal makes it obvious that you're unhappy with your lifestyle as it is right now. This alone is a large step from where you've been in the past few months. I would only hope that this new 'insight' into life will continue and force you to do what's best for you. I find that you sit on your laurels and don't challenge yourself. You have massive potential and you seem to be inclined to waste it. It can be very frustrating to see you stuck in a job that's beneath you, and in a town that drains you when there is so much out there for you to experience if you would just take the chance.

However, I also feel as if you're too eager to follow in your friend's footsteps. I worry that you're making the wrong decisions because you want to see some friendly faces. You need to look out for yourself and do the things that are right for YOU. Not Joey, not Sarah, and not Niki, although that isn't an option anymore.... or so I hope.

As for what I think of YOU. I think you're someone worth admiring when you want to be. You have heart. You're committed to your friends, you stand up for others, and you take care of your own. You deserve more than what you've been given and I think that escaping from Amherst, Subway, and many of the bad influences around you will help you to see that you don't have to settle for the trash that you've settled for in the past.

Good luck. I hope that you take people's comments to heart and know that the people that care about you genuinely want you to make the best out of your life.

Thank you very much. You're both absolutely correct and insightful. You're very well written. I appreciate your input and rest assured that I want to start bettering myself too. As for wrong decisions about going out west, I know it's a big risk, but I've never really taken any, or been out of the Maritimes, or flown, etc. I'd like to experience all of that before I get too old and get content with mediocrity. I can promise you that what's-her-name isn't an option any longer, and I'll be the first to tell you that I was a fool for far too long and will never make that mistake again. Again, thank you.
