Thoughts of my day

I'm fustrated, my mind is overflowing...My thoughts are not being heard, or maybe I'm just not expressive enough...So many days have passed, I feel like its all a blur and I'm just wasting my time...
I feel like my foots in my mouth and I cant express my words...
Ever feel like u don't belong? Or like when your with the wrong crowd and u kind of don't fit in? Or how about when people say they can read you like a book, its really irritating and could be annoying.
I feel like there's a sword piercing through my heart, Its just pounding faster and faster... What do people want from me? Or more like what don't they want from me?
what do people expect of me? Do I really expect too little of myself?
All I want is to be true and honest with myself...
but that's when the fustration kicks in... It seems like noone cares or noone is intrested and it makes me feel down and upset...Or maybe I'm just being jugementle
I just feel empty

Sorry you are feeling down. You expressed your feelings so beautifully. Lots of tough times in highschool. Hope things get easier for you soon.

Esther...
In being honest with yourself, no one else need interfere. Its being honest with YOUrself.
Its important for every person to know where he has come from, and where he is going. Have a goal, something to move toawards.
It shouldnt frustate you becuase noone else should be involved in this honest self evaluation. Just you. it doesnt mean to become all self righteous either.. notice " where you came from and where you are going." if you dwell on where you are now it is self destructive. you can become quite content with the you, you are now, or really dissappointed to a point where your unmotivated, and unwilling to move. So the key is to have a goal, to know what you value, and to know what you surely do not. Then to move towards attaining all those values, and while some may feel out of character at first, at least set them as a goal, because one day you will turn around and realize that you have come a long way, and all of a sudden all those goals are handy. It seems far off now...
the fact that you are in a place where those who surround you may not be up to the best things, was meticulously planned by G-d. there is something he wants for you to do there, He wants you to get your hands dirty. No dirt is too dirty, and this doesnt mean to stand up like a preacher and say to everyone " ok guys bar hopping isnt good..." you will never achieve anything that way. the greatest message you can give everyone is to maintain your dignity, your character, and all that you stand for, and yet still be able to accept everything they are...
feeling like you dont belong, is feeling that you would do better somewhere else, somewhere where doing the right thing is a given. Not like where you are, where doing the right thing is hardly recognized by anyone. Thats the best place to do all the right things, becuase it makes you a real person.
It reinforces the idea which Chassidus so strongly stresses. Sincerity, do it for real, no matter who is watching, do it becuase it is really you, not merely something you do.
Esther, in life wherever you go, you may not always find yourself surrounded by people who support all your ways, and they may even be close to you. So learning to swim above water is a great oppurtunity. G-d placed you there by divine will, he wants something from you, and if its hard it doesnt matter, all the more reason to give it your all. If its hard it means G-d really trusted you enough to give it your best shot. Dont let Him down.
love,
Your friend that never calls.
