So, yeah... Read please

I swear anytime I post my problems here it's NOT for attention... I just kinda use this as my own not so personal journal that people may read.

i love my parents and they love me but like anyone we have our fights and disagreements but at the end of the day we are always okay. So I told my dad that I wanted to become a writer and a lawyer when I grow up about a month ago. He told me not to depend on writing and that being a lawyer would be a much better choice. I told him that I actually write stories and post them online where people can read; he told me that just because a few people read my writing now it doesn't mean that in 5 or 10 years they will- my mom agreed with him on this. I told them that it didn't matter because I loved writing and it gradually turned into an arguement. It ended with him telling me to "Stop dreaming and get your head out the the clouds!" and my mom and him left to their room. I got angry and left to my room too. Then I started thinking that he was right and I wasn't able to write anything for awhile, but he apologized that morning. I still haven't been able to write... Soon after I got my self-image issues again. I had said earlier that about two years ago I weighed 120 lbs but now I weigh 87 lbs, I was starting to think I weighed a lot again, and I haven't done anything but as days go it's getting harder and harder. I don't blame my dad he was just trying to make me see what was possible and he apologized the following morning. I just really want to write right now but I can't... I just can't and it's weird. I don't want to go back to how I was when I hated almost everything about myself because I enter highschool this year, and I want to be confident, but I just can't. I'm starting to think that LITERALLY EVERYTIME I start to feel better and things go good someone forgets that I'm still a bit fragile like a glass figure and gives me a crack or two and I just want to scream to them that one of these days I'm going to break.

Just take writing as your side occupation and write when you like...your parents are just caring about you.

I'm going to give you a piece of advice from my heart don't you think you are nothing never think that. Doesn't matter you are worth a lot more than you think. Life is to to short to be like this you are still young you never know you might face bigger problems in life. Don't let your thoughts take over and affect your childhood. Your beautiful inside and out and remember that no matter what. Every time you feel down look at yourself in the mirror and repeat that to yourself!

About writing you can do both things become a lawyer and write u dont need to choose one thing. Find inspiration in the things u lyk for example a song, drama episode or even something that has happened personally a lot of my writing is based on things that have happened to me personally. You dont have to jump in straight away during writing you vet those times where you have slumps dont let that bring you down think of it as a creative break pick yourself up again slowly n sit down n write small parts at a time before you know it you will be back to writing!!

Dont worry if you feel aything bothering you im always online if ure comfortable just pm me and ill reply back dont bottle them feelings up it wont do you any good.

Remember unnie is always here :)

funny how you and I seem to always have the same problems. and we're praticaly the same.I'm a fragile person too,when mom said that writing will get you no where and medicine is way better,I ran upstairs and cried.My dreams always seem to crash whenever reality comes in the picture.Even my english teacher encouraged me and tried convincing mom to let me into an English college after graduation.I felt happy that someone beside my friends acknowledged my talent but mom still refused and it hurt.
I think I cried way too much over this topic but bottom of line is that mom is somehow half write,especially that in my country,Writing is like dead in my country,it won't get you anywhere.
but I promised myself to keep writing,just as a hobby that keeps me away from the outside world.
My personal meditation.
so yeah,just stay strong,patience is the key to everything.
things might seem really hard now,but everything is possible.
just keep your chin up!

It's not a matter of "what's possible" and what's not. It's no mystery that writing is a very hard profession to be in given that it takes years to write a novel and then you have to find someone to publish you and then you have to hope people want to read your story. That being said, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a writer. Could you imagine if someone told J.K Rowling that writing wasn't something she could actually do and she listened? A whole generation of people would be without the magic of Harry Potter. I say do what you love. I write because it's a way for me to express how I feel in a way that no one can interrupt me or twist my words around before they come out of my mouth. If writing is your passion, follow it. Not everything is meant to be, but you'll never know without trying. I want to write for fashion magazines, but I have no idea how to get there from where I am. Despite that, I'm still chasing after my dream. Perhaps my dream will change between then and now, but I always want to persue the life that will make me happy and you should do the same.
