Stop the Emo Drama Plzkthx

General
Un-watch me if you so desire to do so because of this journal, but I have a very valid point here, and I feel the need to discuss a few things.
Here is the reason I haven't been uploading much lately. I've been doing things on other sites like VCL and SheezyArt because, quite frankly, the insane number of journals I'm beginning to see with content like "I'm sick and people hate me" or "I'm getting yelled at for nothing" or "Why me?" or "What did I ever do to deserve this?" Seriously people, half of the things you're bitching about can be easily solved if you just lift a finger to do something about it. I dunno, perhaps bitching gets you more mileage or more attention... whatever.
I swear I've seen at least 40 journals with emo drama in the past two weeks. Someone even pulled everything out of her gallery in what looked like a fit of panic.
If there's one thing I learned about the Internet, it's that people should keep their personal lives exactly that--personal. In other words, no griping, no bitching, no moaning and no complaining about how much your life sucks and all. At least not in a journal that's meant to be used for reports about production status and such.
I know this is difficult to hear coming from a person who was guilty of the same thing at one point in time. No, I am not proud of it in the least. But I'm not going to be masochistic about it either because I have faith that all of you have moved on as much as I have, and won't ever bother with it again.
Do know that there are many, many things I still go through each day. Many things I once deemed worthy of sympathy. But I do not deem my life worthy of anyone's sympathy, especially not in the context of a social networking site like this one.
If it's sympathy or attention you're looking for, stop. Bad things happen, this is true. But it's life. The phrase "Life's a bitch, and then you die" wasn't invented for no good reason. But apathy is the most beautiful thing to combat so-called "emo" feelings. It's how I fight off feelings of depression, suicide, self-mutilation and all that nonsensical bull-crap. I just simply don't give a fuck about anyone or anything. And it works.
Sure people call me arrogant. People call me stuck-up. People call me cruel, cold and heartless. But it beats the alternative. I can actually enjoy what few "happy" emotions I'm able to feel at this point, simply because I don't care about the global financial situation, nor the little bit of over-parenting I'm still being subjected to, nor the fact that I have no friends that live near me. My excessive perfectionism doesn't even bother me anymore because I'm more likely to just give up and say "fuck it" when something doesn't go quite the way I had planned. I just kinda ignore most people, even on messenger, when I probably should talk to them.
But it works. And I hope the complainers and whiners out there can take a hint from a guy who has been through it all.

Dun get me wrong, I have no issues with the free speech, but, i do also agree the depressing journals you read everyday can be done without. But keep in mind, some people are alone, and have no one to cry to, or nobody to vent to either... thats a reason this is called a journal... Goodnight and god bless
But when the same person does it over and over and over and even nukes everything out of his/her gallery, that's going too far in my book.
But GOD! There are some people i watch and some that i see on forums and so on that do Nothing but bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! And it's Annoying! I'm so damn TIRED of it! yes I know I'm bitching now. ^^ But when I say bitch, I mean things like "No one watches me" "No one likes my art" "my life is nothing but the blackest of abysses that even hell hasn't discovered yet" ok that's a bit much but you get the drift ^^
i agree, a feature where we can choose who's journals we can see. For example, there is one person I Used to watch, he's getting along with his art, he's been improving quite nicely..however, Every Single Day.....one emo journal after another...after another...was just...to much...and then of course the drama that he created with them. i just couldn't take it..I unwatched him.
And that's kinda sad. I really think there should be an option to be able to choose to see someone's journal or not.
And yes, I know...I understand...just don't read the journal..right? Well It would be nice that if the option was on the user page, then that means the inbox wouldn't be flooded with journals ^^
ok..i'm done rambling..honest :)
sorry hun...i've been doing this alot lately...think i should write my own journal instead of stealing everyone eles's? ;)
I've seen many of those journals as well and I'm afraid I'm not far from the track...
I will try my best to post just goals and proposals I made on my life and my success!!!
you think that would work? (seriously) I don't want to be emo DX, it pisses me off...
yeh, that's it ^^, thanks for pointing it out, I will stay off the wrong track
