3/2 Edited to

... Read morePreparing for school often stirs up a mix of excitement and nerves, especially when faced with those lingering "what if" questions that play over and over in our minds. I remember getting ready for a big day with butterflies, wondering what might happen if I spoke up in class or finally confessed my crush’s feelings. These moments aren't just about the clothes or makeup; they reflect our hopes, fears, and the desire to be seen and accepted. For many, the "what if" questions can be a source of anxiety but also an opportunity for reflection. For example, I often asked myself, "What if I don’t fit in?" or "What if I make a mistake?" These feelings are common, and sharing them can actually help lessen their weight. Talking to friends about our secrets and crushes, or just having a moment of private self-encouragement, can make the transition back to school smoother. In my experience, turning those "what ifs" into positive affirmations helped a lot. Instead of fearing the unknown, I reminded myself that every new school year is a fresh start—a chance to rewrite my story. So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed before school, try journaling your worries, preparing your favorite outfit, or listening to music that pumps you up. Engaging in these rituals creates a comforting routine and builds confidence. Remember, everyone has their own unique journey, and your "what if" moments are part of what makes your story real and relatable. Embracing them with honesty can transform fears into empowering experiences. So next time you get ready for school, take a moment to reflect on your feelings, share your story, and embrace the adventure ahead.

I have a crush on this guy, let's call him penguin, and we have a mutual friend, and so i was like talking about him in one of my classes cause let me tell you i am IN LOVE with this man. k. so our friend hooked me up with his number, and so we started taking and keep in mind, penguin and i like talked all the time in class and we played tic tac toe at our desks in class and all this stuff. and all my friends were like omg he is flirting with you he likes you. well before we started talking, at the beginning of the yea he dated this girl, let's call her player, well they were dating and then she cheated. well after that they broke up cause he found out, and he eventually like after hoco gave her a second chance, and I FOUND OUT! so i was later like telling my friends like penguin is back with player i'm done like i quit i can't do this anymore. well one of my friends in class was talking to penguin about me and like asking about player. apparently they were together for like 2 days. so i started liking him again even though i don't think i ever REALLY stopped before. so then i got hooked up with his number, and after a week of talking he asked me to be his gf. and the day we started talking he asked me to a football game tje next day. but i said no to fb game because i couldn't go unfortunately. and i also said no to dating because it had been a week. so we waited a few more weeks, we talked for about a month, and then i said yes cause i didn't wanna say no the first time anyways. but i wasn't allowed to date so it was like a secret relationship. and it was good too we were cute together. now fast forward to coming back from christmas break, and we like hung out that day every chance possible. well that night my dad was pissed at me and was like don't make me check your phone and in my mind i was like crap crap crap crap crap, so i wanted one more day, a bit more time with him, so the next day after school, no one saw this coming, but i broke up with him.
