i attempted to write the other day, but i ended up hitting backspace and it deleted everything i wrote. i was sad.

as for today, i went shopping with my dearest Jenna. back to school shopping if you must. it's hard hearing someone say "want to come over after school tomorrow?" because that means i have to go to school tomorrow. now, don't get me wrong. i'm one of the few that actually like school, so deep down i'm happy about it. what saddens me is the "end of summer". even seeing the Hallmark Christmas ornaments come out saddens me.

over my desk i have 3 words written on a small piece of paper.
"You Are Loved."
I find a lot of comfort in that, even though i'm the one who wrote it. Lots of people, especially teenagers, are always saying how they're not loved, it's them against the works, etc. They say they can't do anything right, or make anyone happy & that no one loves them. Bullshit. If i have bad dreams, I lie in bed and close my eyes. I think of all the people that love me. Mostly family, but you only list the friends you hold close to you. You might not realize it, but a lot more people love you than you think. That's something every person should know. You are loved.
