Like Family

Dear Sweet Lord. I'm the only Heather Mazzarato AND Sublime fan on the boards. (Pulls out Luck Blade) Well, I've had a good run.

My grades are shambles, but that I can only face and take like a man. My father is deeply angered with me.

The thing that bothers: my would-be g/f. She never told me to **** off, but just merely ignored me. Never returned a call. I feel betrayed. Someone could at least tell someone the way things are. Instead, she led me on a 2-week odessey to nowhere. After realizing things the way they are, not lying to myself "Yeah, she's just busy..." "Yeah, she's an artist. Off painting somewhere" "Yeah, she knows how I feel" I feel crashed.

I wholeheartedly agree. I may not know many of you guys very well, but I do lurk in a lot of threads, and I always pull for a fellow ENWorlder who is having trouble, or needs some extra luck to have something good happen to them. I mostly post in Hivemind threads, but that's only because I am such a horribly shy person, and it's hard for me to be social in the other ones. I consider all the people here to be family, and I am incredibly glad that I came across the site all those months ago.

Don't worry too much about your grades. I killed myself getting good grades in college and guess what? It didn't make any difference in the end.

I know they say you really cant say people onthe net you never met can be your friends, but you know what, i think they are right.

You guys arent friends.

You guys are family.

I know that at least one member of these boards met his wife through the net (though not via these boards AFAIK). So sometimes net friends really do become family.

And two members of these boards have crashed at my place.

I feel for you. Sometimes women feel it is better to avoid a confrontation by dropping hints. It takes practice to learn how to take a hint.

Like when she changes her phone number the day before valentines day. (This actually happened to me once.)

Thats when you count on your family

Then there are those times when she strings you along because her other relationships might not work out. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say. Just frees you up for the right one.

Gamecat - im sorry to hear that.

However my action figure comes with wings that can be removed, low-rise jeans, a tank top and a wooden stake

gamecat,

If it helps, one just has to realize that many people in this world are jerks. Many times, they don't know that they are even BEING jerks. The most important thing is this: If someone shows you no human respect or decency, this is a HUGE tip-off that they are not worth your love and attention.

As much as it hurts, there are many more opportunities in this world that we make for ourselves than are handed to us. Do not be afraid to love and lose, because every loss gives us a chance to learn and grow.

Based on what Angelsboi said previously, he has learned this lesson himself.

Now, your grades are something you DO have control over. If school is truly important to you, do not let outside distractions get in the way. Never let things that fall in your core values slip away, because our core values define us. (I have made that mistake myself, and it took me a long time to recover.) But don't be afraid of failure, either; it goes back to the idea of loss giving us the chance to learn and grow.

Good luck in your studies, and your life and growth.

Thanks. All of you. Your advice is certainly not wasted.
