please humor this awkward turtle

 

I've been feeling really lonely the past year. I'm in tenth grade and in that phase where I'm looking for myself. I hate that saying. Rather than 'looking for myself' I want to 'unearth myself'. What I'm supposed to be is already who I am, I just haven't pressed the right button yet. But, that's only semi-relevant. I'm really jealous of everyone that has a best friend that's like a sister or a brother to them. I've yet to experience that feeling that you know what's going to come out of someone's mouth before they say it or that you can read their mind with a simple gaze. 

I also want to write and be happy and do all the things that I love. When I came to AFF I was so ecstatic to have people that shared the same passion as I did. Not just spazzing over shirtless pictures of our biases with our beloved fandoms because I truly believe that we're all writers first, fangirls second. I want a best friend, someone I'll have the strength to keep my eyes open for when they have something on their mind during ungodly hours of the night(or too-early morning). Whether that something be an idea for a story, a trouble they're having or some completely random thought that they need to get out. And beliving that they'd do the same for me.

I'm an awkward turtle because I'm awkward, first and foremost. But, I'm like a turtle in more ways than one. My developement in relationships is slow and steady. Deliberate and catious. I'm so hesitant to give people my heart because I don't want it manipulated and tossed around like a child's plaything. I play the defense easily and won't hesitate to crawl back in my shell. I want a partner in crime. I want someone that I can be a writer with, a goof with, a human with. Someone that I can tell my secrets to and someone that will trust me with theirs. 

My name is Timicia(it's long and something i used to hate but have come to adore). I like to call myself Mia because it's cute. I'm 15 y/o and my birthday is May 11th. I'm a taurus, bull-headed but loyal. I used to get beat up for being a black girl that never acted like one. I promise that I'll never hurt you. I've experienced too much of my own kind of hurt to garner the will to make anyone else go through it. I'm so optimistic you might want to throw me out of a window some day. It's okay, I'll understand.

If there's someone who understands my feelings and can reciprocate them then tell me about you. Let's be friends. Best friends. Too many people have left already. We're all we've got left. I'm lonely. I want a 'bat' to my 'mobile'. I want a 'bonnie' to my 'clyde'. Minus the felonies. 

(This probably sounds really desperate. It is.)

Being alone isn't always bad either. Sure, it gets lonely sometimes but its as time goes by that you get used to it. If u rly feel lonely, then try maybe breaking away from that shell of urs (: this is coming from a person that is usually quiet in school so Ik that it can be pretty awkward and weird, but that's part of the experience! Surround yourself with people that respect the things you like, for example if they don't like k-pop, don't be around people that will disrespect it. Be around people that are willing to listen to u for hours if it's necessary :) ik it's hard to find someone like that, but it will happen with time. Just have some patience, lots of courage and you'll do great!!!
My name is Irene. I'm 17 years old, and my birthday is in July 23. I'm a Leo and Leo's are supposedly "social butterflies" (the irony haha) and loyal. And idk lol if u wanna talk, then feel free to send me a message xD

Hope this helps you somehow, even just a little! :D

(Yes, I had to divide the message into two bc I was over 2000 words or something lol)

Ik how it feels to be in a y friendship with someone, and yes, I've gotten hurt because of it. It's a long story, but long story short, they basically got tired of hanging out with me and said it to my face, that they wanted to hang out with other people. That person was my best friends for years. We had a lot in common, our family knew each other (more or less. I knew more about them than they did about mine), we were always together. So, yes, I was rly hurt.
But bc of that, another person came in and made things slightly better. That person became my best friend along with someone else, and it was nice all, if you ignore the classic third wheel thing. And all the other fights I had with that person and blah blah. It was until LAST YEAR, I decided to put my foot down bc gosh, I was so tired of that person's attitude and always making me feel like a third wheel. So I basically learned how to be content with being alone lol
Don't get me wrong. I still hang out with people and all that, but it's become a lot bearable being alone for me and it's even sort of nice. I guess what I mean to say with all of this, getting hurt in a relationship or friendship or whatever is what helps us learn. I learned thanks to those so-called-friendship of mine that I shouldn't be treated any less and that I should surround myself by people I actually like and appreciate. And ever since I made that decision, it's been great for me. All my other friends have proven to be very supportive for me, and it's nice that I can finally talk to someone about it...

Well, you put too long words in there ... #kidding kk~~ u're still 15. U have so much time to make a friend in your 'real life'. U know I mean, not in this socmed.. that wasn't a bad thing to make a friend in socmed of course, but before you make one you have to have one in rl. Hurt someone or being hurt is a common thing in a relationship. You need to accept it and live with it so you can learn. There was so much who leave, and maybe oneday, you'll be the one who leave them bcs u have other things that matter to you.
Having a partner in crime which have a same things with you is absolutely something fun. But it's okay if ur friend have a different one, it makes ur relationship grow stronger cause both of you are accepting eachother' minus.. I have a sister on your age too, when I read this I was imagining if my sister in your place. And it saddens me. Maybe you should be more thankful so you'll be happier...
hahahaha wha am I talking about?? Kkk
Eng isn't my language so please sorry me..

Well my name is Ghayda, three years older than you.. I'm Leo kkk, 22nd in July. Let's be friend!! (If you're okay with the gape ofcourse). Umm nothing that I can tell abt my self bcs I really dont know kkk
Okay Mia, I really am amazed by you. In ur very young age, u already become a little writer.. good job dear!! Be happy ^^
