You deserve to live. Everyone has a patch in their life where they feel as if they're hurting someone else or not contributing, but in reality, they are. It's good that you're going to school to talk to someone, though.
I'm always happy to talk with you, you know. You're my friend. I'd be damned if I didn't listen to your problems and help you through them. -
You have no idea how much this means to me.
Though I don’t think I want to talk about it yet, until I’ve spoken to an adult, and I know just why I feel bad. -
Could we maybe just talk about something light?
Like dogs? -
Dogs>cats
-
Blasphemy

I love them both, and I can’t 5ink of a particular breed of cat I hate, while I hate any dog small enough to be considered he dreaded ‘ yappy’.

Can I just share that last night my mum was on the phone with my great uncles wife , and she’s coming for Christmas this year, which is a first , I think it’s because everyone wants to be there for my grandad after he lost my granny. But my brother and I the minute we heard “ Irene” started collectively chanting
“ Bring the dog! Is she bringing the dog!” -
So I’ll be playing with a cockapoo instead of doing legit anything else. f---ing love dogs.
I’ve met her once and she was just a sweetheart. -
I had a friend who had 5 chiuahoweverthef---youspellits
Most cats i know just run from my presence, but dogs are always nice to mw -
I'm typing a massive post for you so I can't actively respond to you atm
Give me like five more minutes wheeze -
My friends cat Odin jaffa, OJ is a young cat, Ive known him since he was a kitten, and he’s very friendly, her cat Chase Oreo, or chase is less friendly but still very sweet. Because unlike my other friends cat star whose f---ing satan

My third friend has a malamute whose sweet but very large.
Then there’s best boy Archie belonging to star’s human. Archie! Now this dog is- -
Don’t worry about it Dark
Ok so Archie is super friendly, and he likes me I think? He’s a cocker spaniel and I love him, it’s the breed I’m going to try and get when I move out. But when my dad comes to pick me up, legit the only person archie is interested in is my dad -
Concerning your earlier posts from a few hours ago...
You get better by roleplaying with people who have an obvious writing gap compared to yours. You get better by pushing yourself to write a minimum of a paragraph, rather than writing 1-3 sentences. You get better by making use of a thesaurus or a dictionary, and by learning new vocabulary and using it to your advantage. Writing is a skill that you develop over time. I did not get to the point that I am currently at easily. I spent hours of my time writing as a young child, and I took criticism and worked with it.
As an experienced roleplayer, I can safely say that I would sit with you and go through the basics and help you work your way up (if you desired). One of my firm beliefs is that I would not be here if I didn't get the help that I received so many years ago; it is my duty to offer the same to someone else who needs it.
Style: I've noticed that writing styles are so vastly different for everyone, and I've also noticed that the best way to get your own is to read books and try copying styles that you enjoy. Books are the best way to get familiar with various writing styles.
Substance: Sometimes, the best responses can be something that you write up under 5 minutes from your partner's previous posts. You don't need to spend half an hour thinking of a response for it to have good substance. And, sometimes, little responses work out better for the plot. Substance is extremely hard to predict and work with.
Characterization: This is the hardest part of roleplaying, especially if you're the kind of writer who "projects" onto your characters. I have the worst time playing villain-like characters because I myself do not come off that way. I would never hurt someone (at least, not intentionally), and as a result, many of my "bad guys" become "good guys" and are very mild at best. The best way to approach it is to think of it in another light; if your character was mean, and then they slowly became better, that's character development. It may not have been what you intended, but it still has a use for your writing. Don't get too caught up on keeping the character the "exact same" as they were before.
I find you to be a very fun roleplay partner. I've been extremely excited to do this Voltron plot ever since I suggested that we do it one-on-one. Truth be told, when we were trying to do the neko plot, I wasn't in the same mental state as I am now. I did not mean to brush you off then. Besides, you're learning! It's impossible for me to get bored. It's fun getting to learn with someone else.
One of the best ways to improve your roleplaying skills is to do a plot that you feel strongly for. You won't get anywhere forcing yourself to join a plot that doesn't resonate with you. If you try to do something you aren't interested in, you end up making your life miserable; you'll go to write a response, but it'll be s--- because you don't really care for the character/plot you're writing for. Not knowing what you want to write doesn't mean you're a failure. It just means you need to take more time for yourself.
I've found that romance is the easiest genre to get into for new/inexperienced roleplayers. Something about writing fictional relationships is just so... Nice. It's easy to work with, and it's fun to write about. Besides, let's be honest- everyone is god tier at writing about romance because it's one of the few things we don't feel confident about in real life. :') -
My mom used to be jealous of our second dog, because my dad would pay more attention to the dog then her
