Please don't make me go back.
Backstory
I've been off on Christmas break for the past 10 days. School starts again tomorrow. I'm not ready to go back though. I know ten days is a long time and I shouldn't be complaining but, I don't want to go back to all that stress. I don't want to get five hours of sleep every night. I don't want to cry in the bathroom stall during class. I hate school. I'm scared. by Layne in Six-Word Memoirs on Jan 01, 2013 |

You are more wonderful than you think. School is stressful but you probably have more inner resources than you give yourself credit. I have been in your situation, hating to have to go somewhere I didn't feel comfortable going. The more I thought about it the worse I felt.Imagine it being better. Imagine having fun. Do something today that brings you joy. You can do this! I am sure of it. Your avitar is very nice. I had a poster sort of like it once. It said: Ships in the harbor are safe, but that's not what ships are built for.
Be the beautiful ship you already are! Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the kind encouragement, autumn. School went as expected. I got through the day which is the important part. I listened to my favorite songs in my drawing class to give myself a break and shut out everything else for a little. I learned today that my coach out me in the indoor track meet again tomorrow for pole vaulting so I can look forward to that! Two tests Friday will be tough, but ill push through I believe and I'm learning that even if I don't do as well as I want to, if I'm giving my best effort I have to accept that that's good enough.As for what you said about my avitar, that is actually one of my favorite quotes (how did you know?:) I wear a little silver sailboat necklace everyday that reminds me that even if life is tough now, eventually it will get better because it will be summer again soon and I can go out on my boat all day with my best friend and everything will be okay again. Now, it has more meaning behind it thanks to you. It's such a perfect little boat, shining and smooth lined and I can remember that maybe even if I don't see my own potential because of my high standards that my mind creates, that I equate similarly to those of a body imagine disorder is some respects, I still am enough. I am a lot like that little boat.. so thank you for helping me see that:)

Glad the day went ok. Having school start on a Wednesday is kinda good because it means only 3 days to start. I had an awful job for a while where the only way to survive was to take things in small increments like that. Even when it was a whole week, I'd try to plan for something good to look forward to on Wednesday to break it up.Music helps so you're smart to use that when you can to create your own world.
I had tough time in school too and that was a long time ago. I always had to be my own cheerleader, so sayings and lyrics and stuff like that helped me to not get so down on myself all the time because I didn't have anyone to encourage me out loud. That's why I thought the safe harbor quote would help you because it is so easy to just want to stay kinda isolated.
Good luck at your track meet.I am sure you will do well. Same for your tests. You probably already know the answers.
Best wishes.
