Real-life Ramble

So, I turn 18 on Wednesday.

And it might not feel like such a big deal, but where I live, being 18 means you've been driving and having sex for two years, you graduated last December, and you can finally legally drink. And I haven't done any of that.

A lot of it is because I spent last year studying in Japan, and I was legally not allowed to drive etc, and because I missed a year of school in my country to do it, I have to catch up and do it now. This means I am one year older than all the other kids in my classes. It also happens to be my brother's grade. My brother and I are really close anyway, but I find it hard to really fit in in his grade. Especially with the girls. All my old friends have left to go to University in the city, so I never see them anymore, and some days I feel pretty down and lonely. And sometimes I feel like the most pathetic, boring teenager on earth. 

So, I get stuck being emo about where I am in life, and then I get on my LJ and see all these comments from people saying 'thank you', and I realise what an ass I am being. I had a really great experience, that some people would kill for. I met so many beautiful people and did some really cool things, and now I have a really important skill that I can use to make a lot of people happier and I should never forget that.

I mean, here, I have got awesome writerroterhimmel saying THEY want to stalk ME which floored me, and then the insanely kindhcb_chibi who is posting me a novel all the way from Texas just out of the kindness of their heart, which I still can't believe.

Especially you, roterhimmel. I know you're going through a rough time right now, and I wanted to put it out there that every time I read a comment from you I still feel giddy and get the urge to sing. You inspire awe, mate.

 Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who comments here, or on HEARTSTATION, or at KHInsider, I can't tell you how much it picks me up, knowing that the stuff I'm putting out is appreciated. Love you all!
