I'm just... tired of everyone judging me all the time. I can't enjoy any of the stuff I'm into without people making snotty comments about it. Not that I care about what everyone else thinks. But you know, the signs for the Literature Club said that you can... be yourself, or whatever. So I decided it was at least worth a shot. But that was a lie, apparently... Oh, and I like writing, too.

(After hearing she deserves to be respected) It's just... really hard to feel that way sometimes. You know, like... I really shouldn't care about what other people think in the first place. But... when you're just criticized by everyone around you for being a certain way, it can get really hard to just brush it off. And it makes me start to feel like I'm the problem. Like I'm not doing enough to please everyone else. Am I being too entitled if I just... want people to like me, without me having to hide a bunch of stuff about myself? ...I don't think I am. I just wish that sometimes people would try to appreciate me for who I actually am.

Well... I think that's really thoughtful. And kind of flattering. I kinda feel like I don't deserve this much validation... I wasn't exactly very patient either, when I first joined the club. It makes me feel like I should probably apologize too. I think I was just really fed up with a lot of things, and I got frustrated after not getting my way in the club. So... yeah. I really didn't mean to take it out on you. I was being really immature. *Laugh* If you get my stubborn butt to apologize, I guess you're doing something right.
