flipping why

1 min read

I seem to spend an obscene amount of time trying to convince other people that they are amazingly intelligent, stunningly attractive, hugely talented, and infuriatingly clever.

Trying to convince them that they're worth something.

You know what the worst part is?

They don't seem to believe me, 99% of the time.

Especially not when they need to hear it most.

And that is absolutely heartbreaking.

I wish we weren't so wrapped up in these horrifying delusions of ourselves.

So much, that we forget the reality.

Of how special we are.

We forget how loved we are.

Other people can see it all too clearly.

Why can't we?

Dear readers (and especially to those who read Sweet-Assassin's somewhat recent journal that she says she wants people to ignore, but can't really mean because otherwise, why would she have left it up?),

First, let me clear up a misconception that you may be having. Mickey's Demon, is in no way, an actual demon. Mickey's Demon doesn't even slightly resemble a demon. Demon, is what most people might call their "inner demons."

This might sound strange to you, considering I just said that Demon doesn't resemble a demon. You see, inner demons are psychosomatic problems, and it's almost always a one-on-one fight, because it's all in your head. I believe, that your inner demons are lessons that need to be learned. Squaring off against your demons isn't about fighting them off, it's about learning from your struggles with them. In reality, your inner demons are just teachers that you need to learn from.

They're harder than the teachers we had in school. They don't give you hints on how to solve your problems, there aren't any formulas to memorize, and honey, if you fail, there's no coming back from it. But you know, they're important all the same.

I think that Mickey's Demon is just another teacher with another class she has to take, so that she can pass. I really hope she passes. I know she doesn't like taking tests, but this is just something she has to finish.

I know you can ace it Mickey.

I know I'm probably not making much sense right now, but I hope it gets my meaning across.

L&L,
Athie

P.S Ted, Neotix, Skully, Tiana, and I (I know there's more but I can't think of any) all love you very much. I don't know about them, but I hate seeing you do this to yourself, and seeing this done to you. I'm sure, if they're aware, that they don't like it either. This is the best I could come up with, to try and make you feel better. I'm sorry I'm not better at this. I'm really bad at cheering people up, but I hope this made you feel even a little bit better.

I feel like I've been abandoning everything lately?

Like, I've got three (?) WIPs, four fics that I haven't touched in months, at least one piece of editing work, and I'm working on a collab to boot. Two, actually. Though the one with Hana is still in the concept stages, and the huge one is on hold until Mickey tells me what the hell I'm supposed to be doing.

Even though I've got all that, I sit around and do useless things all day. Tumblr is too addicting. I need to like, throw it out the window or something.

But I'm rambling. The purpose of this journal is that I made an RP account. (Aarenski.) I RPed with someone for a bit, and I must admit, I really enjoyed it. Problem now is finding people to RP with? (It means talking to people. Arg. I hate talking to people.)

Anyways, wish me luck in 1) getting off my lazy ass and doing some and 2) finding some people.

Goodnight.

Karuta

Fridays are always short days in my school (we end at 3:30 or so normally but on Friday we end at like 2pm or something), because of reasons, and this next week is spring break so the teacher couldn't really teach anything, yeah?

Yesterday, I did a presentation on competitive karuta for Japanese class, and today we played it in class. I won three straight games (which was all the games we had time to play, so, go me) and got a lollipop.

I also got a cookie actually. Because I knew how to say cake in Japanese. (Thank you OHSHC or I would not have remembered that!)

She said there were cake batter cookies but I think I grabbed a chocolate chip one, which SUCKS because I really wanted to try a cake batter cookie. It just sounds so yummy.

Sorry, rambling.
