Don't worry, Rishi! I'm glad your uncle apologized. That was very much the adult thing for him to do. (I'm assuming he's an adult ) He probably has had a lot on his mind and something just snapped. You just happened to be on the receiving end when it happened. He more than likely didn't mean anything personal by it.
I hope Squee-Neji's grandma is doing all right. I hope she's comfortable and peaceful. It's kind of funny... but I'm a bit jealous. Both of my grandmothers died when I was 5 years old, so I don't really remember them at all. I always get a little jealous of people that have been spoiled by their grandmas way into their teen years.
As for change... don't worry about it. It's something that a lot of people are worried about, but it just comes down to this: it's going to happen. If you're really worried about it, see if there's any way you can do something to help. If you're worried about the environment, try to get involved with programs to help clean up parks and streets. I'm trying to cut down on using plastic bags from grocery stores. It's not much, but it's a start. You're lucky... you're a teenager now and there's lots of stuff out there aimed at your age group that didn't exist when I was that age. I see a lot of things being done by teenagers that make me say, "Dang, I wish I was one of them again so I could make a difference!" Of course, I'd want to be a teenager with the same amount of knowledge and stuff that's currently crammed into my head. That would totally rock!
Well, this comment turned into a bit of a book! Hope you're feeling better now!
Laters!
And finally... Trebuchet, Spork, Bifurcate, Specious, Necropost!
I can relate to some of the things you said as well... I felt worried about my uncle when he had a mental breakdown, and my grandmother - everytime she's ill, all my family starts to think she's going to die for sure, but she got better everytime... Grannies are tougher than you'd think
And I don't really like change either... Most change gives me such an awkward feeling...:3 I had my room painted a different colour when I was younger, for example, and it took me about five years to completely get used to it I guess...X]
"Complaining" about your life, as you call it, sometimes isn't a bad thing at all. It's good that Rishi told us all about her fears, so Rishi knows now that there are people who care for her as well^_^ *huggles*
I hope this was useful...*prods fingers Hinata-style*
Hey, you didn't tell me your uncle apologized! Oh well, I guess that's a good thing, isn't it
I'm sure your step-mom will be fine. Recovery takes a while. My mother had a knee operation a long time ago and couldn't walk for a week. She's fine now, so your step-mom wil turn out fine, too! It just takes time.
. . . . . . .I hate it here, I really do. I didn't tell you on the phone, but my Grandma had a really, really bad day on Sunday. She had a really bad coughing fit. Everyone thought she was going to die that day. She's better now. . . .but still not good. It's miserable. All people talk about is Grandma's medication or great things Grandma has done and it makes me feel absoutely horrible.
Change can be considered either a good thing or a bad thing. Take for example moving to a different state (which you've done). It's considered bad because you've left all your friends. It could be considered good because you met a whole bunch of new friends. Plus with the technology of the new age AKA phones, you can call your friends from where you moved from any time.
I fear the future. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I'm afraid of what's to come. Yet, as many have told me, you must live for the presant, not the past or the future. I don't have any idea about what my job is going to be when I grow up. I don't know if I'll go to a good college or not. I don't even know if I'll get into college. Either way, I try to push the idea out of my head. I'm not even sure if my grandmother will live to see tomarrow. I'll just burn that bridge when I come to it. . . .
Well, I'm very glad your uncle apologized. It shows that he does care. :] (I'm a person who doesn't cry too easily, but when people yell, then I start to tear up. :|)
I hope your stepmom gets better so she can walk easily! It's not fun when people go through operations...
And I hope Squee-Neji's grandma will hang on and be okay for as long as she can. *doesn't know how to phrase it so she doesn't sound like a retard DX* One of my friend's aunts was dying, and when she finally passed away, it was a relief that she went peacefully and she was out of suffering...
It's okay, Rishi, it's okay! *huggles* Everyone needs to complain and get it all out sometime, ya know?
Change is not something most people are able to take easily. When I moved, I was absolutely in complete and utter shock for a long time. Now that I've been moved in for four years, yeah, I'm used to it and all, but I still miss where I used to live. Change shocks people and gets them out of their comfort zone; it puts things into the unexpected and can cut ties with familiar and comfortable things. Some people can thrive on it, while others can't. I know I'm not fond of change at all. Sometimes when I'm alone, I worry about the future, kind of like you. I don't know if I'll still be friends with all of my current friends after high school, or whether or not my grandparents will live to see me graduate from college. I don't know when I'm going to die (death is one of those things that I can think about for a few minutes before almost hyperventilating and needing to change my thought subject), I don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up. Heck, I don't know very much at all. And that SCARES me. But perseverance can get people through it, or so I've heard.
You've made it this far, Rishi, and by the sounds of it, against the odds as well. I think you can keep going as well. There will always be ups and downs in life, but if you keep up with your stubborness and good attitude that you have (I think you have one at least. ;]) I think you'll make it through just fine.
Don't worry too much, Rishi, it's bad for you. P;
Take care, okay? And keep being your awesome ol' self.
I hope I didn't sounds too stupid and helped you out a little bit... *kicks at ground awkwardly*
