Actually Alicia, it is copyright infringement and it is stealing. I doubt that you will be, but you could actually be prosecuted for such actions. I wanted to comment on this entry first because My Chemical Romance is my favorite band and their music means the world to me. I'm glad that their lyrics are meaningful to you as well, but you need to be sure to credit bands or artists when you post lyrics such as these that you yourself did not write. It really doesn't take but a few seconds to type out at the end of the entry "from "(song title)" by (band/artist)". It's just the right thing to do.
I also have kept quiet about all your other troubling entries. Given you requested to be my friend on both LJ and on My Space, I'm assuming that you consider me your friend and that maybe you value my opinion. But something needs to be said regardless because I worry about you. I know we don't know each other well enough as it is, but I am worried about you. If you have that many self-harm episodes and counseling has so far not worked, than I'm sorry, but you might need to keep trying until it does. It took me at least 2 counselors before I found the right one for me with my third. Or maybe you need to try some other means. This is something that I learned in time and maybe you would too, but you cannot post such upsetting entries that worry the people that care about you will read. It's just irresponsible. I'm not trying to say anything to further upset you, I just want you to understand how it makes people like me feel, I hope that's ok. And about your guy situation. I'm sorry, but didn't you break up with Josh (at such a horrible point in our family's lives no less) because you needed time to figure out who you are? That's fine and I think you should take time to figure out who you are and what you want from and in a boyfriend, but I don't understand why you started dating again so quickly and so seriously. It just worries me that you start being so serious about another guy only after knowing him for such a short period of time. I really don't think love can develop that quickly, only very rarely. I am glad that you like him so much, but you have time, believe me. Also about the guy at work. I think it's wonderful that you found someone who has a common interest as you. I would do almost anything to find someone who shared one with me. All I'm saying is that you have time. You're young and I truly believe that you WILL figure out who is the right guy for you. You just need to be a bit patient and to have some faith. And to try not to get so upset. I know it's hard, believe me, but please try. It'll work out.
So I'm sorry if any of this upset you. I really was just trying to be your friend and to try to help you. If you don't want to take my advice, than don't. I will be even more worried about you if you don't consider letting someone try to help you, even if it's just considering their advice. Anywhoo, I hope we can still be friends. But it's completely up to you. Take care.
