Here’s some fucking advice yall:

  • Middle school is worse than high school.
  • High school is worse than college.
  • No one fucking knows what they’re doing, we’re all just faking it and pretending we understand so people will respect us but if you tell us we’re doing it wrong, you’re probably right because rarely does someone know better.
  • You will find something you like to do that you can make money doing.
  • You’re going to find friends that aren’t going to fucking wreck you.
  • You’re not always going to live in the hell hole that you’ve known for so long.
  • It’s going to get better, but I’ll be honest, it doesn’t always stay better, but it gets better again. Bad times are just times that are bad. They don’t stay. Everything is fucking temporary.
  • Just fucking watch your favorite TV shows, tell ppl you love them when you do, and don’t play games with emotions because it ends up hurting like hell.
  • And eat dessert when you want it.
  • And know you ALWAYS deserve better.

So somehow I made it through highschool without a boyfriend. I know it's stupid, but I feel awful about it. I should've at least had one, you know? I look at all of my classmates and see that that they have boyfriends and I feel even more like an outsider, like I've always been. I don't know. I feel stupid, I'm just being dumb.

I understand. It’s not stupid at all! You see everyone around you with boyfriends, and feel like there must be something “wrong” with you to have not had one at this point in your life. But there isn’t! In fact, waiting until later to have your first boyfriend isn’t all that unusual. 

It sounds like you’ve graduated high school, so I have some good news for you. It’s much easier to find a meaningful, lasting relationship after you get out of the hormonal hell that is the typical high school. You’ll meet people doing things you enjoy, which means you already have a common interest. If you go to college, you may fall in love with someone with the same major, or someone you meet at a random activity. Or you could find someone at the gas station. 

Or you could just not be into romantic relationships. That’s totally fine too. People who have little to no desire to be in a romantic relationship are called aromantic, and you can find out a bit more about that here.

There’s no such thing as normal, love. The whole adult world is made up of people trying to do the best they can while judging how everyone else is doing the same thing. Fuck that noise. As long as you’re happy and healthy and not hurting anyone else, you’re just fine.

You know what it is? It’s St. Elmo’s Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them… there was no fire. There wasn’t even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you’re making up all of this. We’re all going through this. It’s our time at the edge.

When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits – anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.
