If you’re bored and wanna talk, feel free to respond to this post. Sometimes summer can feel like such a social dry spell, ironically. (Or not ironically? Since the metaphor is so apt? I don’t know how to use ‘ironically.’)

Hi. Life is dull and I keep getting sick. I don’t know what to do with myself and I’m beginning to panic because summer is almost over and I haven’t done all the goofing off I meant to do, and then between school, dance, and a job I won’t have any free time, and I’m going to be an adult in two years, and then I won’t have any free time ever, and I feel like I’m having a midlife crisis, but I’m only 16. 😅 I’m excited for the the dance and job part, but I don’t want to go back to school again. I’m lonely too, though having 5 siblings helps that. I only have one close friend my own age, but she’s really busy, so I hardly ever see her. I love my co-op classmates, but we have nothing in common and I feel like an entirely different species and usually have no idea what they’re talking about, and I haven’t seen them in two months anyway.
That turned into more of a rant then I meant it to…I have been enjoying summer, when I’m not thinking about the fact I’m tied to the tracks watching the train of schoolwork approach and knowing that no one can save me from my fate. On the bright side we have a sandbox now, so some of my siblings and I have been playing in that. We also went to Chicago for a few days, and visited Six Flags Great America to ride some roller coasters, and to make sure my brother has the stomach for the pilot’s job he wants someday. (He does.) I’m finally getting pointe shoes in 12 days!!!!!!🥳 The dance intensive is next week. I’m rereading Stormlight, though I had to take several weeks off to wait for Oathbringer to show up at the library, during which I read Great Expectations and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I finally saw Hamilton, which I’ve wanted to do for a while. 🙂 And I hung out with the family I will be nannying for so I could be shown where everything is. The baby is the most darling thing ever.🥰 I love her so much. Driving’s going pretty well, if you ignore the three curbs I hit the other day. I finally got out of a parking lot and drove around a neighborhood, where I ran over nothing. The curbs were in the lot. 😅 Anyway, here’s a jumbled mess of a response. Have you done anything fun this summer?
Aw, I’m sorry you’ve been stressed out. 😕 I get it; summer is equal parts fun and discouraging when you realize how much you haven’t done. It’s the same for me. Other than improving my health and learning the theremin, I haven’t done much. I’m finally working on driving, but even that has been slow.
I feel like it’s very easy to feel lonely, too, especially as a teenager. I’ve come to realize nearly everyone thinks of themselves as lonely, they just don’t always say it. And because everyone experiences it, there is comfort in the shared experience, in a weirdly ironic way. 😅
Side note, much of my childhood was spent in Chicago! My great grandfather made jewelry for Al Capone, lol. That’s one of my favorite trivia facts about the fam.
