Happy Pi Day to all my fellow math lovers!

you can call me the 1930s because I'm The Great Depression

it makes me so so so so upset when people who honestly have wonderful parents complain or take advantage of them. you aren't going to get everything you want, or hear everything you want. they are your parents and you should show you love them and forgive them regardless. It is insanely disrespectful to those who have lost their parents or wished they had parents who were remotely kind to them. I am not invalidating your feelings, I am just saying be thankful for what you have, because you never know what others around you could be going through.

Okay so I have written pretty openly about this, but my mom walked out of my life around 7 years ago. Every year I get a small birthday gift, and this year I got a valentines day gift. She sent me a card and a ring, and the ring is too big for me, but the card sent me to tears.
I talked to my grandma and we both agree that it is time for me to write a response. So I am currently trying to type up what I want to tell my mom, tell her about the simple things going on in my life and stuff like that. No one except my grandma and I know about this, or know I am doing this.
I really hope this turns out okay.

any tips for writing suspense/murder mystery?
please no obvious tips like "do plot twists!" or "make a good villain" like PLEASE I KNOWWWW. I NEED ACTUAL TIPS PLEASE!

ALSOOO I am going to be doing NaPo again this year! Last year was a fun experience and I got a lot of good poems out of it. This year my theme will be "Life as I know it", writing poems about events and memories of my life.

For years, everyone that has tried to get close to me has tried to break down my walls. I always felt a barrier between me and others. I always felt like I had to truly get to know them before opening up. People have made dents in my walls, and some have come close, but no one has ever truly done a whole lot. I have a lot of emotional barriers, I follow my heart and not my mind, and that makes me not think sometimes. But.. I think I finally found someone. The poem I wrote yesterday was for someone who has taken a big part of my life within the past 2 months already. I feel like with this someone, there is no wall. We trusted each other so easily and didn't know why, but now we do. I feel like we are on the same side of the wall, working together against the world. It makes me happy working together with someone. I am happy to have someone to help me think when I cannot, and being able to help someone with their emotions when they feel like they have none. It is a little hard to explain, but I am just happy to have someone to understand me and work with me. It is a feeling I have never felt before, and it is making me slowly fall in love

Okay so you know how all these awful school shootings have been happening in the US? It's honestly tragic. But today, we had an active shooter drill at school. And it's sad we have to switch from rare fire drills, to having to do more common shooting drills to make sure we know what to do in case it happens here.
That is so depressing. These days, no where is safe. Not even my own private home. Now school? Getting an education is important and it's supposed to be a place of complete safety to get the proper learning skills to prepare for the future. And now we can't even sit in a classroom without worrying whether today may or may not be our last day?? And no one at my school is talking about his except for the teachers! Some of the students take it as a joke. It's SCARY. At the drill today, the room was pitch black (which is one of my fears) and I was so scared that I just put my knees up, hid my head, and tried to think of something else. Although it was just a drill, my heart raced. It's just so depressing and sad that not even our places of education are safe anymore.

one of my best guy friends asked me to prom with roses and a rose beauty and the beast necklace (the prom theme is Tale as Old as Time), it was so sweet! I love roses so much so it made me very happy.

Other stuffs:

I have an idea of maybe doing this thing every couple years where I write a long letter to my future children. Ideally, it would be for my future daughter, but there is always a chance I may have a son instead.

These letters will consist of the things I learn throughout the rest of high school and college and life in general. It will be so one day, whenever they feel down, they can read the letters and the lessons I have for them. I want my future kids to know that I want to understand them, and be there for them.

I am kinda excited to be a mom one day, the fact I do not really have a mother of my own inspires me to be the best mom in the world. I want to give them the amazing things in life I never had.

This may be a stupid thing but, I want to try it.

I got a 21 on the ACT on my first try! I am soooo happy omg

I need a hug. A real hug. A tight, loving embrace. And for someone to tell me that everything is okay

Being a hopeless romantic can be difficult in some situations, especially since I am super sensitive and my emotions tend to get the best of me. I have so many dreams of my future and life, like my future house and family, and the things I want to do. And falling for someone who has 0 dreams about any of that stuff and isn't super romantic can really suck. I feel like I dream too much or I am too much of a hopeless romantic. Is it wrong for me to be interested in someone who is the opposite of me in that regard? I dunno
