I AM SCREAMING AND IT'S NOT OUT OF MIRTH

I AM SCREAMING AND IT'S NOT OUT OF MIRTH

MY TEACHER GAVE US FOUR TESTS, THREE OF WHICH ARE DUE TOMORROW, AND HE DIDN'T

LINK ONE OF THEM

He isn't answering my email about it either. I am not well. I am not doing well.

Currently crying while taking a test that's due in three hours

I am so incredibly flattered! One of the baristas at a local coffee shop and I have become friends recently. He's pretty shy and quiet so I reached out to him. Well, it turns out he's an artist and he makes amazing artwork! Well, I told him I write poetry so we share our passions with each other.

I was talking to him last night and I sent him two poems that are like a set, one is from my perspective and the other from my boyfriend's, and he said it inspired him to make an artwork based on it. Then he said he'd give it to me once it was done!

I have never been so flattered. No one has ever taken my poetry like that! They always say, "wow, I totally understand what you're going through." Which isn't a bad thing, that's actually exactly what I want. I want my poems to help people understand they aren't alone. But to take it and be so inspired, enough to make an artwork? I almost cried.

I need more tattoos. I don't get enough annoyed looks from old people and looks of awe from my peers.

Here's a reminder that you can always:

Make a new list

Let yourself change, improve and evolve

Give up on a book that you don't enjoy reading

Actually let go of anything that doesn't feel right for you, a tv show, a friend, anything

Remind yourself of what really matters to you when you realize you have forgotten

To the one 20 something year old, particularly creep guy in my class,

Stop purposefully walking behind me to look over my shoulder to see what's on my phone. Stop looking at me like I'm a piece of meat. Stop talking to me if you're just gonna be an asshole. Stop touching my hair like you know me.

Sincerely, me and everyone who's had to deal with creepy people
