Gotta go.

Take care Raleigh!

It's terrifiying that I'm actually 15. A year away from 16. It really is scary, I still feel like, 8, and I can already kinda see what's gonna happen! We ended up comming across this little boutique on the way to the fireworks festival, and my mom said that she could see me doing that one day. She's been doing this a lot lately, trying to scope out jobs for me, and I keep anting to know why and she said I'm not going to be treated like a little kid forever and that everything I wanna do is gonna get put on the back burner one day and I'm gonna have to get rid of all my toys and once we got there we ended up going to a car show next door to the festival since according to mom: I can't play with the little kids because I'm a lot taller than most of them and I'd probably break bones in the bouncy houses (accidentally) and I can't get my face painted because I'm too old for that.
I can't hang out with the other teenagers because all they do is look at cute boys. Besides, I don't know anyone.
So I was stuck with a bunch or laaamee cars and trucks with three rediculously heavy bagged chairs on my back where my mom would pop me on the arm if I complained. And I had to watch the little kids running around with fake light sabers and bubble blowers and having fun.

I'm sorry if I just sounded like a spoiled whiny brat, but WP is pretty much my diary like I said. Please don't be mad.

You're not ''whinning'' at all Midnight! This is why many of us come here. We can express to those that can understand that everyday people dont... Just remember to be the person you want to be in life! Maybe play the game for now and just nod but there will be a time not far away you can make your own decisions... Just be true to yourself and be kind to others... Your life, your journey... Make what ever dreams you wish, they are your dreams and your dreams alone! There were many things i couldn't do when i was young also.. So many of us have had similar experiences whether on the spectrum or not... As long as you remember you are an ''individual'' and that ''you'' have the power to be whatever you wish to be... I am in my forties but yet feel i am in my late twenties.. Again this is not subject to just the spectrum... Our cells constantly divide yet our inner child remains and always will do.... You have potential to do greatness in this world or/and greatness for oneself... Dont be confused by what others want of you... Be you, learn, understand ones mistakes and rather hide from them face them.. Grow and feed off the knowledge the world can provide you. For then your wisdom will grow as will your heart

'Knowledge the world provides me...' Does that mean being forced to watch the news about those terrorist meanies and having the reason I almost left shoved up my nose again and again on TV and real life?
If thats what your talking about, I'd rather spend the rest of my life hiding under my bed with my stuffed animals.

No, not at all, hence why in a few years you can make whatever decisions you like... I was also ''forced'' to sit though news and finance programs i didnt like... When these things are being shown, are you able to excuse yourself to your own room? or a place at home where you feel comfortable?

I meant I can't get away from seeing it all over youtube, stuff about Pride Month (icky! Does it have to be the month my birthday is in? Don't let Racheypie see this, for the love of all things holy! ) and the shooting in manchester. When something bad happens, it makes me feel dizzy and I can't distract myself no matter what I try.

And nope. It's mandataory to watch documentaries according to my mom.

Well, as far as Racheypie not seeing this , i am afraid i cant help or give advice on that one considering it is a public forum!

Yes, the media unfortunately shows many things that are not of a positive nature. unfortunately human beings are drawn to such negativities. If positivity sold newspapers then i am sure we would see more positive things but unfortunately it is the opposite...
It can be hard to switch off from such things however you have the choice to be absorbed like many or the choice to switch youtube channel to something you like... Kind of what i do... But at times, yes it can be very hard and one gets absorbed in and feels the effects sometime after...

As far as being forced to watch docos with family.. I am afraid that is something most of us had to endure... I just went into my own dreamworld when such things that didnt interest me were shown... Unfortunately these are the things being a minor that we all have had to experience one way or another... It is impart , the give and take of life.. One sometimes must experience and deal with things that one may not like... In a way it can be good, as it teaches patience which in itself is never an easy thing to master... but also impart a vital social construct. However i can also understand why at the moment it will not be that much fun but as i have mentioned in only a few years you will be able to make your own decisions to watch whatever you like.

Hey.. I haven't been posting much, but I have read everything

Thought I'd share a story from my usually boring life. Yesterday I opened both windows really wide, and forgot about the tall ceramic vase that stood in the window frame... So the draft pulled the curtain, and I heard it fall over. OMG it shattered onto one of my downstairs neighbors patio (a young couple with a puppy). Luckily there was no one out there at that moment, but just the thought of what could have happened if it had been The guy was really laid back. He smiled and said that was almost like a Donald Duck moment. I went over that patio sooooo carefully with a broom to find EVERY "microscopic" fragments of that vase!

Hello, Froya.

Yes, that would have made me feel bad too, thinking what might have happened.
You just have to remind yourself that it didnt happen and I'm sure you will be more careful next time.

Lulz I have a Dory sticker on the ceiling in my car. Works better than GPS.

Hi, cberg.

Many things work better than GPS.
Like getting lost, for instance.

Hey

Yes, I have emptied out the window frame I might put something there when the weather gets colder, when I will not open the window.

^ It was 5 degrees here yesterday.
No one wanted to get out of bed.
Then we just kind of lounged around in our blankets and drank hot chocolate.
