"I-Hate-The-World" Moments

Submitted by happyanddeceived on September 5, 2007 - 16:19.

Ever had one of those days where things seem okay for a while, and then suddenly it all rushes downhill? Well, I'm having one of those days. It all started after school ended. One of my friends is making a trip I'm planning more difficult. I lost the CD I needed for an audition I'm going to next week. My parents are being annoying. And my brother swears so much (which I guess is a terrible sin in our community) that I have had many friends keep bringing it up. I guess that doesn't seem too bad. It must be hormones. Thank God I can blame everything on them.

Still, right now, I hate the world.

Peace,
Miranda

one problem at a time

I think we all have those kind of days. They're bound to happen and like one of the other comments said, this is a good place to vent. Instead of a list of problems here I'd be really interested in you taking one problem and looking at it from all sides. The fact that your friends harass you about your brothers cursing problem caught my attention. Think about why it upsets you, and analyze the situation these supposed "friends" put you in.
