Exactly the Same

Dear Amy,

Can't you see how immature you are being? How much time you are wasting being pathetic? Why are you so determined to be miserable? So determined you had to convince yourself that you should be depressed because you didn't have enough drama in your life! Something obviously has to be wrong so I know let's convince ourselve that NO ONE REALLY LIKES US! I thought we grew out of that phase like years ago...or at least last year after all that trouble.

1. You should be happy for your friends. If friends forget about you, they are not good friends so you shouldn't worry about them anyway.

2. You have a lot of people who care about you. You're lucky. Stop whining because everyone doesn't pay constant attention to you.

I'm not being cruel here. It's the truth. You are twenty, and are more than calpable of standing alone without thinking that everyone abandoned you.

Sure conflicts are going to arise with friends, but aren't you the one who always says we have to strive to be better than our nature. By taking other's feelings/ thoughts into account we might actually be able to avoid drama and pain. I feel like you're a champion of optimism.

All of this has gone too far. You are too strong to waste time being depressed. Not because it's wrong to be sad, but because you've been down all these roads before. And you know what always fixes things...MUSIC.

AND NO. DELAIN, WT AND EPICA HAVEN'T LIED TO YOU. FIRST OF ALL, YOUR LOVE OF THOSE BANDS IS BASED ON YOUR INTERRUPTATION. THUS YOU MADE YOURSELF LOVE THEM. YOU FEEL AWKWARD LISTENING TO THEM BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU BETRAYED THE FEELINGS YOU HAD WHILE LISTENING TO THEM. WHAT A RIDICULOUS THING TO EVEN WASTE TIME FEELING.

If you'd like to whine and complain until the entire world feels sorry for you. GO FOR IT. But I'm not going to pity you when fall into a hole. THERE IS NO HOLE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE UNHAPPY. GO LISTEN TO APRIL RAIN FOR 69 HOURS. YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.

While you are at it, GO WRITE YOUR PAPER. YOU HAVEN'T PROCRASTINATED THIS BADLY IN A LONG TIME. THE PAPER IS ABOUT A TOPIC YOU LIKE TOO. OH I GET IT! YOU'RE EMBARRESSED.

NOTHING YOU FEEL IS WRONG. YOU ARE FINE! PLEASE WAKE UP AND REMEMBER THAT THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!
