@Zia: You know, I've been telling people what they want to hear all my life, because that's the mentality of my family (and exams, lol). So after a while of just caring about everybody else's feelings and opinions but my own, it began to take its toll on my mental and physical health. And I grew tired of just telling people what they want to hear. I just try not to react if they mention her, I ignore the topic of my sister even if it comes up. That's the best I can do for myself. They say what they want, I don't have to listen or keep talking about it, I can change the subject in the right moment. If I start telling lies like "oh it's so great that she's done somehitng!" they will think things are back to normal, that I've "forgiven" her and everything's fine, and that would mean I wouldn't stay true to my own feelings. And that's something I'm trying to learn on therapy now, that it's okay to tend to my own needs and feelings before I reach out to anybody else's. It's a healthy selfishness that everyone should learn, you can't please everyone and it's best for you to care for yourself first.
I did apply at last, but now I'm thinking I should've written a cover letter for that, even though they didn't require it. But still, it sounded super cool and maybe if I wrote something more than just what they wanted, that would show something to the potential employer. That I care or am passionate or stuff like that. But now I think I messed up.
I understand, it would be frustrating about loosing your time and energy and probably money to get qualified in something you don't enjoy or are good at.
Lol, that is a crazy compliment, maybe don't ask next time, just take it XD
Looool, yep, that's my reaction XD
She came, she was acting normally, but told me I'm ver mean and that she should eb telling me this everyday... Like why? You yelled at me ;>_> And thanks, that's something every child wants to hear from their mother... And it's not like she doesn't tell me this pretty frequently already. But I'm just an honest person and she is oversensitive. I'd have to stop talking when sh's around, because literally something random can set her off. Like stuff that wasn't even meant to be or even sound mean.
@Lily: Yay, you're alive! *confetti rain* The baby didn't eat you XD (babies eat their mothers, just so you know, scientific fact, lol)
So glad she's doing well! Funny thing, I met up with my bff yesterday and mentioned you actually (we were talking pregnancy and kids stuff), I couldn't tell if Eli came to the world 3 or so months ago, but obviously I was close

Hope you're feeling alright
@Raine: She
is... QnQ
Sure, it doesn't hurt to apply, as long as I don't have to come up with a cover letter. If I do, and don't really care about the offer, 1) the cover letter takes forever to write it and comes out crappy, 2) if I don't get called I will feel like writing it was a total waste of time and effort...
Wow, no wonder you got traumatised with the omens of "visitors". Make perfect sense now. *hugs*
Don't you have some proper heating system? (asked the one who turns the heating on minimum all day only because her bf will complain that it's too hot there, but she's freezing all day for that #logic I gotta stop doing that)
