8/4/18.

Today was quite a good day. I went to the mall with my running friends, and watched Mamma Mia! 2. It feel good to meet with these girls. We ate dinner together too. 

I took a hiatus from this blog. I don't know the reason yet, but July was a resting period for me. A lot has gone so far too. I took a video production summer camp, as well as a running club too. Unfortunately, I injured my right knee, but it's getting much better. I hope I can set a new personal record again this season. I really, really hope that I set new physical boundaries and achieve a sense of accomplishment. I hope I also become more productive for the new school year too. May tomorrow be a more productive day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

6/9/18. My 15th Birthday!

Today was quite a good day. I lost my left lens in the morning. But mom forgave me because she wouldn't get mad at me. Anyways, I ate seaweed soup (traditional birthday meal). After that, we went to the Spectrum to shop and eat. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory which I ate an avocado toast. Then, we went to shop for my shorts. I don't know why I was acting up again but it was because mom wouldn't approve of anything I wanted to wear. I heard a little girl hold up a slightly exposing shirt and showed it to her mom and said "Daddy would kill me". It made me so sad that even her dad (or parents) wouldn't let her wear the clothes that she wanted (kind of reminded me of me too). But still I got the shirt that I wanted. It was kind of hard for me because I saw the look on mom's face and it looked like she was disappointed. But the thing is, it wasn't something that would show so much of my chest or body. It was something "normal" that girls would wear at my school, everyday. I bet that their parents wouldn't even care. But why do my parents care? Maybe it's their Asian upbringing and culture. I can't wait for college so I can actually shop for my own clothes without having to waste time thinking "What will Dad/Mom think of it?". Anyways, I got some really expensive shorts (for running). I might sound a bit selfish right now though. It was a pretty good day despite the thing with mom and me. My grades are all at an A or an A-, but science is still at a B+. I really hope I end up with all A's (range) this semester. I want summer break to be a replenishing break for me. I have so many goals ahead of me and I want to complete all of those with 104 days.

❝Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.❞

Roy t. bennett

6/8/18. Today was the LAST day of school! I wasn't too elated or too unhappy for it. It was just another "regular" school day that ended much quicker. I took my math final which I thought I did well on but it turned out to be the opposite. My Math grade didn't plummet too much though. Anyways, after school, my friends and I went to go eat lunch. Of course, it was the end of school and there were so many people at the same place my friend and I were supposed to meet at. Anyways, I saw a couple of my friends that sit with me at lunch. (The "only" friends I actually have). It sucks when there are so many people you know, but you can't make out the words and say "hi". Of course, my mind started doing that thing where I would self deprecate again and again and again. I don't really know if this (pantone) color fits the day. It was more of a bittersweet day for me. (It's funny to me how the quote is contradicting how I felt today). I feel like I'm getting depressed. I feel so, so, so hollow and empty and I feel like I'm getting even more fake to my friends. I'm so worried that I might lose them because I'm not acting "normal".

During summer break, I hope my emotions heal and I begin to think more positively. I know that I quit music in order to take video production, but now this other part of me is saying that I'll regret that decision.  I felt that playing my instrument was an outlet to stop thinking about what I was worrying about. Especially because I played the horn for so long and I love it so much. It feels like I'm losing a part of me, but at the same time I thought it was the right decision at the time. I need to make a life plan. Now I feel terrible writing this.

May tomorrow be a way better day.
It's my birthday tomorrow too.

6/4/18. Today was an okay day. I had my history debate which went by super quickly. I forgot what I say instantly after I gave my closing statement. I kind of stuttered, but not too much, I hope so. Then I had my science final which I kind of failed (75%). I hate the science department at my school. My teacher was also trying to rush everything during the test. Anyways I forgot about that too cause, well, colleges don't look at your transcripts from freshman year right..? I hope so. I want to do better next year. I promise myself I will not get another B on the report card. Anyways, after I ate dinner, I went out for a run with my friend and ran about 3-4 miles. I'm reading this book called It's Kind of a Funny Story, and the main character, Craig, deals with something I recently felt. Well, he's clinically depressed, but I love that book so much because I can actually related to someone, at least, a fictional character. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

6/3/18. Today was a bittersweet day. I studied for my science final for more than six hours now, but I'm still stuck on every single unit. Ugh, I wish I got an A for putting in effort. God, I really hope I get an A on this. I have the history debate too, tomorrow. It really sucks because I wanted the last week of school to just be relaxed. But then again, we have finals all crammed like mine are. I hope I do well, please... Anyways at like six in the evening I went outside to meet with two of my friends. Actually, one of them I met today for the first time. She was super talkative, too much for my liking. I was just dazed and was super lost because I had so much on my mind when she was talking (rambling). I was super overwhelmed of how fast she talked. Anyways the friend I was already friends with came to join the table after like fifteen minutes. We ate and talked. I was kind of stressed out by how happy they were because I was having so much on my mind, meanwhile they seemed to be having the time of their lives. Anyways I came back home being super anxious. I didn't feel good but Mom knew that something was wrong. She tried talking to me, but I was already so fed up with finals and exams and what happened at the meeting with the two friends. It took me more than ten minutes to open up until she finally convinced me to spill something out. She talked me out some stuff, but at the time I was still feeling anxious. But as always, she actually cared for me, and I could feel that. I felt so guilty for being so selfish and rude to her for the past three years (ever since I started acting like a brat to her). I felt like I needed to be a better daughter. I promise myself I will never talk back to her. I feel so sorry for Mom. She had to put up with all my crap but still she didn't let all my rude comments break our relationship. I regret every single thing that disappointed her. But I will make it up to her. May tomorrow be a much better day.

5/29/18. By far the worst day of 2018. I had a hard time falling asleep last night, making me to feel super anxious. My thoughts raced in my mind and I couldn't make myself feel relaxed. Then again, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and then I felt out of place the whole morning. I felt my eyes fill up with tears as soon as I stepped afoot at school. I had no feeling, but an emptiness and hollowness inside me. Then during break, I completely lost it and started to cry in front of my "friends". Then I realized that none of the people that I sit with noticed that I was crying. I felt like nobody cared about me, and felt even more anxious and invisible. Then it was advisement, and sat next to my usual group of friends. It literally took my friend for more than half the class to notice that I was clearly crying. I thought I did everything to care for her when she was once having a bad day. Then I realized that she doesn't care about me. What did I ever do to her? I felt like I meant nothing even though I tried every way possible to make her feel better when she was feeling upset. Then it was time for my english class. I felt like every inch of my body was about to throw up at the thought of performing in front of the entire class. I told my teacher, then she sent me to the counselor. I went then spilled out everything that was gnawing at my thoughts this entire time (I mean by everything since I moved here). I was bawling my eyes out. Even my own words surprised me because I was so used to not opening up to anybody because no person would ever care when I needed help. Then lunch came and I felt so alone. Yesterday, my group of friends went out to hang out without inviting me. Technically, they made a group chat saying that they wanted to hang out sometime, but they went by themselves without telling me the location or time. I felt like I wasn't even a part of them anymore. Why would they forget that I was their friend? Then I went to my math class and took the end of the year test. I went to cross country practice and didn't do anything because I didn't feel like running. Anyways, I hope tomorrow is a much better day than today.
