im glad shes there for you brother

awww cute pic, im glad u have someone there for u ^^

Such a nice thing for a sibling to do...Sorry to hear about all of the things going wrong for you.

Drake, i'm really sorry....I cannot even fathom what it might be like for you right now. In my entire life, I have never had so much sadness twirling around me, as you do in one short year. I try to help some of my friends who think that the whole world is falling down on them, as many times that I can assure them that we only have temporary problems, that go away if we just think of something else...but in your case, that is not the question. The words cannot seem to pulse from my head to my fingers to try to type something.

I am probably so unexperienced in aiding others...I write short stories, and dedication works for my friends, but that just masks the problem. Like placing a rug over a coffee stain on the floor. It is there...it will always be there...unless we undo the rug, and clean the mess up. You showed me your livejournal about a month ago...and it seems that bad things happen to good people...your sister is right. Keep your chin up...it'll be okay.

I am probably the worst suited person to try to give advice and comforting thoughts, but to every upward slope, theres an downward slope. Just try not to lose faith in yourself, or your mind and body. They can never take that away from you. Ever. There is nothing wrong with you. For the past week i've been inquiring about myself, and if I am 'right' or 'normal', and why everything that I do is wrong. Every person is different, and unique, we all are similar in so many ways, but it is our distinct differences that separate us from each other. With the aid of my friends, i've been realizing that there is nothing wrong with me. I am who I am. We live only but once.

Our world is a terrible, demeaning, and cruel world, where people no longer can give each other breaks. People fight over anything and everything, because we are selfish, ruthless, and judgmental. I am only 16 years old, but I know the difference between right, wrong, good, and bad. What more should we be asked? I am truly sorry, and hopefully things will turn out alright. Just don't give up. Be strong, and never feel as if you are nothing. Alone, one is useless, but together, we are strong. Things will turn out for the better, they always do. Just be yourself, and the world will need to accept it.

There is a proverb that I have memorized...and it is completely true...but I am trying to end its truthfulness to myself.

"When one laughs, everybody laughs...but when one weeps...they weep alone."

If you ever need somebody to lean to...(later in life, because i'm 16)...i'll be willing to hold an outstretched arm...nobody needs to go through what you are going through.

For what it is worth...

i'm sorry.

you know i really do appreciate the time you took to write me all this, i really am , that is just a little piece of what has happen to me these past few years but sadly its just one brick wall after another, another wall is always built behind another so much sooner than i can knock the first one down. Its been like that ever since i became about 12 years old, everything always seems to just go downhill. After i hit maybe around 20 i just accepted the fact that things never get better, if something good comes along it will be ripped from me despite i always thinking positively so from then on i usually try to help the ones i care about in any way i can just to see them happy because it is the only thing that really will bring a true smile to my face. knowing the few i care about are getting their lives strait is all i hope for now a days. My world is just a tangled mess of sadness, depression and anger that i try with all my might to not let out, everyone has seen me get a little emotional at times on FA and some have seen it in person, the sad fact is that its not even half of what i really feel. Sometimes it is a good thing that the few friends i have are so far away because i get so wound up in whats going on inside of me that i will just cry to myself for hours. Like i said though, ill be around for the ones i care about. i am not the type to do anything stupid.
I really do appreciate your words , trust me.

No problem...if you ever need to talk to someone...anyone...just let me know...

*hugs*

*hugs back*

It certainly sounds like you are going through some rough times at all angles. By looking at this picture along with the words that you wrote, I can feel the emotional meaning behind it all and your struggle to continue on. I'm glad you have someone to support you through this, one person really can make all the difference. A truly powerful story with art to match. You don't know me... but I give you my best wishes anyway.

i do appreciate it , thank you

Sounds like ur really going thru a rough patch. I'm really sorry to hear about that. I know that u most likely don't think this right now but after each downpour there is always sunshine, when one door closes a few more open.

I have a mild form of bipolar. and it has always been hard for me too.

and I've felt like no one really cared about me either. I had a mate that never even said I love you back and made me feel invisible... and I had a best friend who controlled me like I was her puppet and brought drama everywhere and made things seem so horrible. I didn't really have any decent friends until I hit high school. I was bullied a lot and a living walking mat before that.

I understand what ur going thru. But I'm trying to change that. That stuff made me stronger and I'm going to not let ppl walk on me. And I have art and I know I will always have that no matter what. But I'm just a 16 year old so what would I know right?

But I hope I atleast might be able to help u out in some little way.

Thank you, its hard sometimes to listen to words of advice of other because almost 90% i am the one giving the advice and i am the one who has lived all the sorrow to give words of encouragement to those who feel they have it bad and dont know what bad is yet. Alot of the times when i actually reach out like this its hard for kind words and advice to work on me because i already know that alot of it is true and almost all the kind words are things i know. Just the mental abuse ive been given for the past 24 years from family ex mates and would be friends have scarred my heart and mind for the rest of my life. The thing i will admit and i know that is true is that im always appreciative to the people who take the time to try to give words of encouragement, its a trait that is lacking in this world. so I thank you very much and you hang in there as well, your only 16 and well see better days i never give up hope for the ones willing to reach out to lift the spirit of a person who has fallen.

I say since I know what its like to feel such deep sorrow and depression and can understand what ppl r going thru. I reach out to them like I would want some1 else to reach out to me. Most of the time I say others come first.

Everything is okay in my life but I have my moments of sorrow.
You should focus more on the present and not the past. And forget the ppl who hurt you.

And I agree words of encouragement seriously lacks in ppl.

And I wonder what the world has been coming to. It seems that my friends or basically the ppl my age are just doing stupid shit and seriously lack common sense. I don't understand it.

I just learned today that 2 of my friends were not virgins. And one of them was my mate. But both cases they were in a long term relationship. And in a way idk y I'm so upset at that fact that they did that. I'm still a virgin but I feel like sometime later in the relationship he's going to pressure me. I'm not ready for sex at all and am waiting for the person I marry. A lot of ppl I know smoke weed too. And skip school too often and not do their work.

I know you barely know me but I'll b here for you.

well its all about being the smart one and sticking to your guns when it comes to that sort of thing, its never a bad thing to be a virgin at all, sometimes i wish i still was because of the people i did things with. never let somone pressure you into that sort of thing otherwise your no better than the ones you look at thinking that they are fools.

Yeah, I can understand how'd I'd feel if I did that sort of thing. Very low and a slut. But I'm not ready to do that sort of thing...scared, disgusted, worried of what would happen, etc.

*hugs you*

just stay strong, and keep your head up. surround yourself with good people, and vent when you need ^_^
it sounds like you're going through hell right now :( It's always good to have someone to hold you up when your going through the shit. I hope that things will get better for you very soon, and that you won't ever lose hope! I wish you nothing but the best!

Life has been my hell my friend, all i can do is just try to make people i care about realize that their problems are not always that bad by just giving them a glimpse of what "could be worse" any situation i hear from anyone , i most likely can top it and then some. the only good thing about what ive been through in this horrible life is that it gave me a tool to make people understand that they dont have it so bad and feel better about themselves in the end. That is what im thankful for of the life i was given. I greatly appreciate your words of encouragement, i really do. no kind words that take time to write are ever overlooked with me. thank you very much.

You are most certainly welcome! I'll always be here if you ever need it ^_^ Take care, and keep that chin up ;3

<=3 i'll be your crutch~<3
heal your broken wings!
walk you through the fire x3
as best as i can from where i am. =>
stay strong! all the hurt you go through now will be used for a greater good some day, even though it may not ever seem like it i already can see where you can help others with it -hugs and snuggles tightly-
there is always a brighter place to look bro, even if it's very small and hard to see. it's there<3

thank you sis, like always your words mean alot to me

no problem bro =3

*huggles* <:3

Very moving picture. You have a great sister indeed.

I've been always told to appreciate the things you yourself already have. Makes you feel better when you think about.

I'm sorry you are going thru all of this :( I know you don't know me and I don't know you very well but if you ever need to talk to someone even a complete total stranger, I'm always a good person to talk to, if you do ever want to talk just send me a PM and I'll give you my AIM SN or something :)

Things will look up eventually, they always do.

i appreciate the gesture thank you

Hey I'm always up for meeting new people :) I'm a friendly person and always accepting, so don't hesitate!

awwww, poor Drake.. :( *hugs*

*pets and hugs* I dont have many words to offer wisdom or advice, but I can lend you my ear any time should you want some one to simply listen
_rain

thank you hun

this was really sweet of her. I know you will make it thought this with the help of your friends, myself included. You know you can alwase talk with me, any time of day/night. Even if you just need someone to vent to.

*hugs* just hang in there hun this WILL get better.

*hugs back* thank you hun, i always appreciate you being my friend

How did you pay for your schooling, it should be able to be tracked and kept on records if you paid with either a credit card or a check. As far as the rest of your life goes, sorry. You apparently have some decent friends at least. In the end life is life, at times joyful, at times it feels as though the entire world is out to destroy you. Take life for what it's worth, because there are many who don't even have that.

Heya man...I was at the Bike crash...I was the cameraman...Im really sorry to hear about what you have been going through. I can say that I have had similar trials before me. Its rough. I can only hope that things go for you as they did for me and that in the end, things work themselves in your favor. Karma is finally on my side after years of helping others and sacrificing everything I could to help my friends.

I will keep you in my prayers at night my friend. This Gryphon will always do his best to look out for those who can consider him a friend!

*hugs*

thank you very much *hugs*

aww *hugs* im sorry =/ i feel really bad, i wish i could help sooo bad
and i know that i say this alot and even if you get tired of hearing it, ill say it again... im always here for you, even though im on the opposite side of the country, ill do whatever i can to help you, i know im young, but i want to give you as much advice as i can as a repay for all of the advice youve given me, and it's helped, its mostly because of you that im a whole lot more self confident and i know that there really isnt anything wrong with me, and i want to thank you for that, i appreciate it so much

you didnt do anything to deserve this, im pretty sure of that, and honestly, i think any girl would be so lucky to have you, it seems to be that you'll never find anyone to keep you company and make you happy, but you will, just dont give up...

thanks ben i appreciate it. i really do

no problem at all ^w^

Oh jeez, I'm so sorry to hear yur goin thru all this shit hun...
Cindy was tellin me how worried she was about you, I'm sorry *hugs*
I hope things get better...it's always darkest before the dawn
I'm sure things will turn around for you

as for love...weeeell...I don't know but I can relate to being treated like crap...
first relationship...same one I'm in now.. 2 years almost..broke my heart a thousand times but there I was, still holding on and praying everything will get better...gawd I'm an idiot but...I loved him so much...

anywayz, I'm sure things will get better for you hun, best of luck and I hope for the best *hugs*

ya, i know how it is to hold onto hope still knowing the person isnt going to change i did it for about each one of the people i was with almost 8 years total combined of hope with the ones i was with and they all still didnt change for the better. I really do appreciate the kind words, just hope someday someone will actually care and not pretend just to get something out of me. thank you again *hugs*

No prob hun *hugs* good luck n_n

My! I wish I could do something to help you, but the only I can do is try to cheer you.
I hope everything turns out better for you, don't give up, and remember you got friends here you can talk to when you need.

thanks
