Friendship situation about jealousy (I couldn't find a better title sorry)
Aurora replied to Flooo 's topic in Friends & FamilyHi @Flooo, lovely to hear from you. No worries, feel free to write whenever suits you best. There is no pressure at all for you to reply straight away. I thought I would start off by saying please don't apologies for venting and you are in no way being selfish at all!! The whole situation sounds very stressful. I can totally understand why you didn't want to go to the family reunion and I was surprised to hear what your parents said to you. I hope you don't mind me saying this but I thought that was really insensitive of them! I get the impression that they didn't take the time to try and understand why you were worried about the reunion. Is that fair to say? Do you mind me asking, how their comments make you feel? Were you able to talk to them about this? I also noticed that you said that you hate eating but when you told your sister the reasons for this she thought it was ridiculous. I'm sorry to hear that she wasn't being supportive. It sounds to me like you trusted her with something that was on your mind, something private, and she didn't take you seriously. I can imagine that must have hurt. If you do want to talk about it with someone, then please know that we are here for you and we are here to listen and support you. This is a safe space and you can be completely open with us - there is no judgement here. Don't feel you have to talk about it though, only if you feel comfortable to. How did the family reunion go? Was there anything that helped you get through it all? I hope it was better than you were expecting it to be. I find that sometimes when I am really dreading something it turns out to be a lot better than I think. Probably because I go there with very low expectations and sometimes it ends up being nice than I thought it would be. Thanks so much for updating me on all the other stuff. It sounds like things are going really well. I'm so impressed how you are really working on your own happiness and wellbeing! Sounds like you are having a lot of fun with Best friend 2, working on your book together. It so nice that she shares your passion. And it's good to hear that you are still working on becoming more comfortable to say no to things. I agree, saying no in general is huge and it can help to start off with small things such as saying no if someone offers you a sweet. Have you tried out repeating it daily? Are you starting to feel more comfortable, using the word 'no'? It's great that you have noticed what happens in your body when you are starting to feel angry. Hopefully this will help you to identify more quickly when you are getting angry about something and you can then step away from the situation more easily. If you like you can let me know how it goes - no pressure though It sounds like you put a lot of thought into the message you sent best friend 1 around getting support for her mental health. I think it's a really good sign that she thanked you for caring about her. It shows that she understood what you were trying to tell her. Hopefully she will think about it and reach out for help when she needs it. I can understand why you don't want to talk to her about the feelings she has for you. Hopefully she will talk to your twin again and then your twin can tell her that you like her as a friend. Like you said, that would probably make it less awkward for everyone. I hope you have a great week, too. Beluga for now !25 -

Satans Satanic Adventures
Mercury Venus replied to Mercury Venus 's topic in My Day/My NightAnnoyingly I keep putting my posts in the wrong place :( Here is an update on what I've been up to recently below :) Hello again, I am back after an extended break which I apologise for It's been a long time since I last wrote here, and since then my journey of sharing myself with the world has swiftly progressed, and as such I'd like to share some of my recent adventures with you :) BUT, before I do that, I am going to start this entry by showing you the work I have been doing from the mini-project I announced in my last post. A brief reminder of what that was- I decided to start this blog with a mini-project that involved creating some character playlists on spotify, and so far, I have to admit I have not gotten far with making the playlists, but I would like to continue with that as I have made some new characters including my most recent (and favorite so far) Mars! If you choose to check my project out, you will be able to hear more about him soon :) (I will mention him in my next post as a follow-up for the character mentioned down below) --------------------------------------------------------------- So the first character I started with was Quinn- an extroverted vampling (half-vampire human). Quinn is a fiercely bold Sagittarius whose mission in life is to travel around the globe to make the world a better place. She is an activist and avid gamer with a passion- she can speak to the dead. This makes her a very interesting character in school and has led her to get into some trouble due to her extravagantly phased book reports. There is a photo of her attached :) Her music taste is alternative pop, aligning with my own taste in such music (sorry i don't know what happened to my grammar there XD). A snapshot of Quinn's music taste is also attached :) But yassss.... If you would like to hear about Quinn's backstory I will attach it in my next post, but now on to what I've been up to recently. --------------------------------------------------------------- One of the things I've been doing is art coursework for my final project, which involves manga, and I got to create a story for a character named Mars which I wanted to share with you. So without further ado here is the plot of the story: Mars is a Martian born on the planet of Thelea in a galaxy outside the human solar system. He belongs to a clan of Martians on the planet called Akkipe, who are guardians of the galaxy and have been assigned by a creator like God to protect Earth from harmful forces in the human solar system- the martial arts aliens. On Thelea each Akkipe exists as a sort of ghost up until the age of 12, when they must pass a test to travel to Earth which determines the family they will be born into. Mars is the only Akkipe who does not pass the test and is instead assigned a "friend" called Ross, to take his place on Earth, however, Ross is less than happy about this and soon becomes an enemy of Mars. Through proving his worth to the Creator by making a rescue robot named Baiyton, Mars is able to go to Earth and is born into a very large and chaotic family. Lucikly he has Baiyton to guard him, and with Baiytons help Mars learns how to be a "normal" human being, making friendships, and venturing on journeys to be named as the "Ultimate Saviour"- the most powerful guardian of Earth- and he comes to face Ross several times on his quest, as before Mars left to travel to Earth Ross planted his memory into Mar's brain, and now Mars must face Ross whilst living a double life in his head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That is one of the things I have been doing, and I have also been doing some writing for another story outside of my art called Another Saint Mercury Venus in the Life of Wonderfull Weekends, which I shall create a post on soon :) Im hoping to make this into a prequel to my art story about Mars, as it would provide inspiration for my final piece, so if anyone could let me know if i should do that I would be thankful :) Anywho, I hope you have enjoyed hearing what I have been up to recently, and I shall return soon with more news about my manga and my story. Stay well and look after yourself, Saint :)6- characters
