@mineralizedwritings Hey girl, how are you doing? π
Can I ask for some prayer from you? Talking to you always makes me feel a lot better, and idk, I also thought about asking you for some prayer.
Idk, I’m just kinda struggling right now, what with my sis getting ready for college, dad trying to find a new job, school starting back within the next two months, etc…and idk, just really struggling with it all π I try to just fight through it…but it’s hard…and idk, I guess I just wanted to ask if you’d be willing to pray for me.
Love you, girl!!! πππ

Sorry, I’m a stalker π π
I’ll be praying for you as well! And yeah, I totally get it, busyness can be a lot. If there’s anything else you need/want to talk about, I’m here!

I prayed for you! Thank you so much for reaching out, I’m so glad you did! Talking to you always makes me feel a bit better too, I’ve been a little lonely the past few days.
I’m actually in a bit of a similar place, my dad just lost his job yesterday. They are giving him until September 1 or so to leave, so he has time to find another one. But yeah… we kinda saw it coming. His employer just merged with another bank, so they have to cut workers. He’s been working there for 7 years now, but he’s had a couple outbursts at work that might have made the decision easier. My sister is moving to college this next summer, although I haven’t seen her in awhile (she’s been living with my cousins because our home is stressful lol) Something that I would say really helps is to have a easy way to video chat. It’s so much better than normal phone calls. I’d say it took me about 3 calls to really feel comfortable with it and it not feel awkward, but now it just feels so natural. I can show her stuff, we laugh really hard (and my cousins probably wonder what’s wrong with her lol) and overall have a good time. We used to use discord (It’s free!) to watch shows (Wingfeather saga lol) on youtube together too, they have a group watch feature. If you can make it easy to call her, you’ll probably do it more often. I call her over instagram chats, Idk it’s just super convenient. Instagram has private accounts too (Basically in order for somebody to messege you they have to be a follower, and in order to be a follower they have to request your permission).
Hey girl, how are you doing? π
I guess I’m alright, little up and down. I’ve been in general a bit sad the past year off and on. Idk what to think of it, this past two months or so I’ve felt kinda distant from God and it’s really concerning to me. I’m not sure why, I think it might be because I’m not getting good fellowship at church, but it might just be because I’m feeling sad I’m worrying too much. I’m not sure, but I just feel a little dead inside lol.
I’m feeling a little weird in general, it’s hard to kind of y’know ‘come into your own’ without just copying other people… does that make sense? Like I want to be different, and I become different as I grow up, but I have to keep in mind that I still gotta be myself, not just become who everyone else is.
I’ve got a lot of stressful things going on rn but thankfully it’s not affecting me too much. I’m worried for my parents, because I know how exhausted my dad is with work and finding a new job, so I feel bad for him because I see what a weight that is, but at the same time some of him losing his job could have been his own fault, and I don’t think he’s aware of that. I’m concerned he isn’t relaying on God enough, he doesn’t go to church anymore, so it’s a weird mix of feeling bad because he’s my dad and I love him, but also being upset because imo he made some bad choices. It’s really hard on my mom because she’s trying her best to fix things, but it’s not worked so many times. I’ve kinda moved on to other things, but I still see what happens and feel really sad for them.
Ik that all makes it sounds like my life is terrible π I just think of the sad things to say first XD. I’m getting better at driving, and I’m still writing for the KDWC (kings daughters writing camp) I still draw every now and then so I guess life’s ok! I’ve gotten my rubicks cube average sub 30 again too.
Love you, girl!!! πππ
You too girl! <33
How’s life otherwise? Any writing or exciting things? Or not exciting things lol?

@mineralizedwritings Sorry life is rough girl…I’ll be praying for you πππ
And girl…tysm for just…being here…it means so much to me. ππππ

Alright I guess. I mean, it’s good, it is…but it’s just hard too right now, y’know? idk…it’s just hard. I’m doing okay tho, and it helps knowing that I have friends to talk to, both on here and elsewhere, and it’s easier to do so with my in-person friends and even my cousin with having a phone now. π
Writing’s going pretty well tho…idk, I seem to write even better when I’m emotional π Freedom’s Fire is at 50k+, and it’s made me pretty happy. π
The puppy is outside, and he’s sweet…and he’s been a sense of comfort some days too π Texting my best friend has really helped as well, and I’m making it through. <3
