AHHH my 18th year on this planet has made me so incredibly pessimistic. Bad drivers make me angry. Parking rangers make me angry. $99 fines because there were no room left to park and I was late to my practical so I parked on the grass makes me angry. Everybody makes me angry.
I'm not one to blog anonymously about people but I feel as though if I keep quiet, then I would never let it out and slowly it will consume me and I will turn into a bigger ball of hate and I can't let that happen.
Back in high school, I was the girl who was busy trying to make lifelong friends, with people, whose interests coincided with mine like a diet to a fat girl. Because of this, I was constantly the inferior person in friendships - often chasing after people, being the one who puts in effort to maintain it and placing them higher on my priority list than they placed me on theirs. This left me feeling sad and confused - why the hell was I trying so hard when I was clearly not receiving the same kind of treatment? It also meant that I had too many "close" friends but not enough "ride or die" friends. I probably could've had some really great friendships if I hadn't spent so much time forming new ones instead of building up on my current ones.
Ever since I started university, I've been too caught up with all the new changes in my life that I never stopped to think about how the people in my old life were. To be brutally honest, I didn't really care.
I remember speaking to them every day and calling them whenever I missed them but on the day I put my foot down and thought, "No, I will wait for them" was the day I realised how little they thought of me. Four months later (and a trip to the states), I received my first text message from these people.
#1: I feel so entirely stupid that I spent 6 long years trying to build up on that particular friendship and was then later discarded. I would say more but the text basically explained everything.
#2: Hanging out with you at school was fun but hanging out with you now is awkies. Mainly because there's always an excuse up your sleeve that allows you to "get out jail" i.e. get out of having to make conversation with me while you could be hanging out with other people.
ANOTHER THING, I'm sick of being known as the "girl with X amount of friends". Why do you define me by the number of friends I have? Why do you use it as an excuse as to why we haven't spoken? Have I ever given you an indication that you were inferior to them?! (I do not consider myself ~~f4c3b00k f4mu5~~ or what not Just a comment made by a friend that got me wanting to punch myself in the face)
I love the friends who still stuck around after high school, my uni and the friends I made there. I just wished it hadn't taken 6 years of high school to learn how to differentiate between the studs and not the duds (lmao awkward AMI ad on Australian radio).
P.S. I'm not friendless LOL I love some people from high school super-duperly much. Just some confessions that I've kept bottled up inside for too long. Plus, I wasn't very subtle so the people I wrote about can easily tell it is about them ha ha.
My rant is over.
Rah.
