Plain and Simple

One of my terrors, being not good at anything. Simple, plain, those are the words you would describe me as. Some people say that I’m funny, terribly weird, in the good way. I feel that no one cares about you, only for themselves. I learn this the hard way. Say something about how you’re sad, no one cares, they move away to look for something entertaining instead of a sad girl, wallowing in her self pity. I envy you. I envy everyone that’s not me. I learn that I will never be happy if I always compare myself to others, but I can’t help it. I envy “A” the most, everyone comes to her without her coming to anyone. Friends come to her, guys come to her. I, Sarah Nguyen, am just a plain girl, which no one frankly cares about. I have no special role in life. My family hates me, my friends would be better off with someone more outgoing.

I feel unwanted, with no purpose in life. I’m pretty sure no one reads my blogs, because I’m nothing special, nothing. Plain. It echoes in my mind all the time. I’ll look in the mirror every day, I don’t feel pretty; no self-esteem at all, even as I pretend to be. I have to admit, I’ve been thinking about suicide since I was in 3rd grade, telling myself the world will be better without me. No one would remember me, no one would care. And I’d imagine everyone wearing black at my funeral, as they lower my casket into the earth. Cynical, even when I was younger several years back. I tell myself I’m not a depressed teen, I’m not. But I know that I’m lying, I’ve been emotionally depressed for years now. No one believes so, everyone thinks it’s for attention. Being unwanted, forgotten, hated, it brings me into sobs. I try to contain emotions in, that never works. Being unwanted by my mother, father, sister; they told me I was adopted when I was little. I laugh cruelly when I think about how true that might be. Reading books and listening to my music is my escape. I hope someone understands me, someone can relate. It’s very unlikely, unlikely that anyone in their perfect little life would be dealing with depression on their own. But I could never know, someone could be like me; acting normal when I feel like sobbing, or taking refuge in a corner alone. Yes, I also admit I had self-inflicted pain to myself, masochistic. I’ve told myself to stop cutting myself, I can’t stop tracing the faint white scars on my arm. I had to admit the tingly feeling of pain, it felt normal.

And since I know no one would read this, I publicity admit that I have liked the same guy from 2 years ago, never stopped, not now anyways. I still have the emails we sent to each other all the time. "---- I don't care how you look like, I like you just the way you are.----" He always said the right things at exactly the right time. I hate how you act like I don't exist, I feel guilty every time I see him. Even though, we are "just friends" I can't help but like him. It's not like I can control it, I always try to push it out of my mind. My dreams, imagination; how it would be if we were still together. I feel like punching myself for doing something stupid as dumping him for some ugly guy who didn't like me. Idiotic, the biggest mistake of my middle school life. I "SA-WOON" when we make eye contact. I know that even if you were a huge jerk, I wouldn't care. I'd still like you, even if he looks like horrible. One of my wishes, "together just for this year." Then we'd move on, being who I am, I know this would never happen in my wildest dreams. Never, I repeat.

Now I hope, that no one ever EVER EVER reads this. Bye Blogspot.

  1. i readddd the wholeeee thing.
    don't worry, sarah, life is gonna get harder.
    yeah, very encouraging, no?
    but you just take it as it goes, make the best of everything.
    and once you're finally free, of school, and what not,
    it'll just be awesome.
    iono, i don't wanna be like those counsler, therapists or whatever. don't suicide. trust me. i've been there. it's just overwhelming, all that sh*t you have to go through at that point in life. but just take it in and let it all out. write it somewhere throw stuff around. and what you do is, go on with life. forget the bad times, and remember the good. eff everyone who stands in your way.

  2. I agree with the non suicidal route. First or last, sooner or later, hurting yourself is not going to fix any problems and might create attention in the wrong way. If anything, be bright, be happy, be bubbly, be weird, be out there; simply, be the person you want to be.
    It's hard to feel like other people love you and care for you if you don't love yourself and care for yourself first. Care for yourself, and then care for others. All it takes is time and effort, and people will come to know you for who you show yourself as. If you believe yourself to be lonely and sad and quiet and act that way, people will believe it. You just have to prove everyone wrong and show them who you can really be :] <3

  3. As to I Sarah, don't follow through with that suicidal path because I've gone down that narrow path more than once. No matter how much it hurts, put that thought aside from you. Look at the responses that you've gotten from people who really care about you. If your saying no one reads, well I do. Crystal and Shirley both do. We all face tough times and thats when we crack, tears and spilled emotions pour out. Our hearts can't possibly take everything that life throws at us, but just remember that we should make the best of life. Overtime, these kinds of things will heal over time. We only get one chance at life, so make every moment count as much as possible! ILY :D

    Victoria has attempted many things that should never be spoken of and middle school just isn't worth your tears. I had to deal with a similar situation just like yours, wanting the boy that I had liked for 2 years. Only to be crushed when someone better took him away from me.

  4. Don't forget, we will always be here for you when you need a shoulder to cry on or a venting session to let all your emotions run wild! It doesn't have to be just one special person you talk to either (:
