As depressed as I get sometimes, I'm spoiled as f---. At least we can afford the doctor bills. At least we can afford the food that I so selfishly can't put down. At least we can afford to pay for my education. I have a great mom, I have a room full of s---, I have friends, and I've got a ton of s--- that I don't deserve. How come I, of all people, have all this? Why do all the great people have difficult lives, then here I am, spoiled as f---? I don't deserve anything I have. But it won't last.
All good things come to an end. Some things are inevitable for me.
My dad is going to die. He's f---ing 64 and sick, we all know it's coming.
I'm going to hate myself for hating him through the last years of his life.
We're all going to grieve in my family.
Our money will start to run out and we'll have about 1/3 the income we do now (and now we have average I guess).
We'll start struggling to make ends meet.
Mom will have to get a job, and I'll hardly ever see her.
I'll be left to take care of my unhealthy brother.
Considering how unhealthy my brother and I tend to be, we'll start to run out of money for our doctor's appointments.
Meanwhile, one of my friends is moving this summer.
I wouldn't be surprised if Peyton moved to his biological mom's house a while away as well, considering the circumstances.
My grades will most likely drop throughout all this.
As we run out of money, we'll begin emptying out my college funds.
I'll give up on the hopes of college entirely to help my family.
I'll end up like everyone else in my family.
I'll finally get what I deserve and I'll wonder how I wasn't happy right now.
I know this is a pretty pessimistic way to view all of this, but I can't help but acknowledge that I'm taking it all for granted. I'm going to get what I should eventually, there's no way around it. Thoughts of the future have been swarming my mind lately and I just don't know what to do. -
the wind NoviceSame here, actually.
I feel like somehow my life is soon to...turn around, start going backwards instead if forwards. My parents are thinking of pulling me out of the school I'min
they do that, I lose all but one of the few friends I have left
I have to start over with new people, and yet again I become more socially awkward
I get more and more depressed
I slack off in my studies even in what I enjoy
I end up not graduating high school or at least to much of a dumbf--- to go to collage
> ends up working at McDonald's
> 3 months later = suicide because what I've thought my whole life was a lie
Same thing, looks pessimistic but it probably is the way it'd go down -
How old is your mother? And how old are you? XD im just curious that your dads 64 years old.
Also, you dont realize how many people achieve higher education without being able to pay for it in cash do you? XD being broke is not the end of the world. It happens yo..and you dont really realize that college isnt the only road to success either it seems.
Become a commercial pilot, go into the military, be a chef, be a housewife, be a farmer, construction worker, emp, police, there is a TON of GOOD jobs out there, even for people in the lowest possible socio economic class.
Man..the future is wht you make of it.
Im gonna suggest that uour fear of the future starts with your lack of imagination and optimism in the present. -
Slim t I think she's about 12 and her mother is probably similar to her dad's age, if not then that would be weird.
Wow your Dad's old, its not your fault he had you when he was about 50 so don't feel bad about hating him in his last years -
Alek: Wow, way to help her man.
I agree with Slim though Leah, sure your life might get s---tier as a kid, but once you grow up you can change all of that. Work your way up there and you'll make it. -
^That was me btw

Jeeeez if shes 12, then her dad sired her at 52. If her mom was also 52 its a miracle her plumbing still worked xD more likely her mom was at least 10 years her fathers junior
-
You weren't spoiled your whole life, though.
Yeah, I'm 12. My mom's 49.
Thanks for that, I'll be sure to remember it.
Alright, if you say so.
Thanks Ann. I'll keep that in mind, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to work my way up. -
um
yeah, I have been... -
why do people think the only option is graduate and then immediately go to college? its okay to not rush your life.
as a high school graduate becoming a housewife, I can say its pretty decent.
