Okay, guys, no jokes for now. I FINALLY realized that... there's a lot of people who has problems in their family. To tell the truth, until I got on DA, and so meet people all over the world (well, maybe not that much, but all over America at least), I didn't believe about things like that. In my head, a family was a strong thing; you're having children with THE ONE you love, those kids have parts of YOURSELF, part of YOUR LOVER, you thought about the responsability about having a family, and you were READY for this. So, when people told, back in years, that they do drugs 'cause their family gives them suicidal thoughts, I didn't believe them.
I didn't believe them 'cause my life is a straight line. A boring, but normal straight line. My two parents still love each other, they're taking care of us, me, my little sister, my brother and my older sister, even though those two have their own appartment. I'm 17 years old, I never had a boyfriend, I had pets, I have a part time job, I've got normal grades in school... So yeah, normal life.
But since I'm on DA, my life vision has changed a lot. And I feel like a spoiled brat to those who has problems. And I feel like a crap when I say : "keep your head up!" "I'm supporting you!" And gnagnagna. 'CAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM. I CAN'T. I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. The worst thing I got until now was that I never saw one of my grand father and that my grand mother died because of a lung cancer (though, I never cried her death).
And because of this normal life, I feel like my emotions are not... deep. I don't know how to say this, but it feels like I don't F***ING care about anything.
Anyway, sorry to all people who has problems. Just a word on the internet doesn't change anything. I would like to be next to them, but I can't.
Just because you don't have problems with your family doesn't mean your emotions are shallow or you don't care. Our emotions are deep from the day we are born. They grow shallow when we become bad people, like the snotty b*****s you see on jersey shore. I can see from the drawings you do that you care for the friends you've met on DA, and even though you can't understand their problems, you are sincere when you say you're sorry. I've had allot of family problems crammed into the past 2 years. I've cut and binged on allergy meds, but I've gotten through it because my friends, people who like you don't have any family problems, were there to save my ass. Point is, don't feel like you don't care because you haven't experienced it, because I can tell from the way you interact with your friends on DA that you care for them as if they were your family. If this makes no sense, sorry. I'm not used to putting thought into the things I say.
((Its okay, mostly because we live so far apart from dA friends, you don't even know how to comfort them that way... I never had that either and I feel spoiled too. :/))
(( I've had family problems even before I was born...my parents divorced when I was 4 but I still remember things. Don't feel spoiled for having a nice family feel lucky! Cause its truly a blessing in disguise (: ))
((I feel the same. I don't have any problems with my family (allthrough my parents are divorced) and I never can understand the problems the others have with their parents or life))
It really has comfort me... thanks a lot!
I never had that either and I feel spoiled too. :/))
