Hey!

I know I have been very inactive lately, well, after my last journal, I just, didn't feel like getting on here.

I would like to thank all the people who commented and noted me! Thanks for caring for me! And if I haven't answered or replied to you yet, I'll be doing that right after I finish this journal!

Regarding the job situation thing, my dad hasn't found anything yet. Hopefully my dad can find something before we run out of money.

I also, figured something out, something about myself. Lately, I have been eating a lot, a lot of things I shouldn't be eating (I have an extremely sensitive stomach) and it gets my stomach upset and inflated. Even when my stomach gets like that, I find myself continuing to eat those same bad things while my stomach is ALREADY in a bad state. At first, I didn't know why, I do it subconsciously, but then I got it. It's my way of self-destruction, a way to intoxicate myself even. It makes sense now. It's just another way of self-harm... I have dealt with self-harm for many years, and I guess this is just another way. So right now, my stomach is not doing very well, and today in class, during finals, I felt like I was going to faint. I am going to try to break this stupid habit.

On BRIGHTER news!

My school participates in this fancy art exhibition, and each school can only choose two students in the 2D and 3D art department. SO GUESS WHAT? My photo teacher chose one of MY PHOTOGRAPHS! I am very happy. The best part is, there will be prizes, cash prizes, and even if I don't win a prize, there is also the possibility that someone might BUY my photograph! It's 20 X 28 inches and my teacher priced it at $200, and from those 200 I'll get $150 (because the frame my teacher framed it with costs $50) I REALLY Hope I get some cash, so I'll get closed to buying the camera I need! Pray that I will!!

So yeah, that's what has happened so far in my life :aww:

OH! And I turn 18 in TWO DAYS!! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

Emotional negative feedback loops cause cycles of self harm. It creates oscillation. Think of it like when your speakers feedback into your mic on skype or something. The sound goes from the speakers, into the mic, back out the speakers even stronger. Repeat pattern.

When we permit ourselves the right to feel whatever we're feeling, even when it sucks, we break the loop. But when we feel horrible about feeling horrible, then if the feeling horrible is like the sound coming out the speakers, and feeling horrible about feeling horrible is like when the speakers feed back into the mic, its the same sort of idea. It keeps getting worse and worse unless you break the loop. Giving yourself permission to feel how you feel and to know its okay to feel shitty and know its your right to be human and feel something, breaks the loop.

Humans gotta feel bad to appreciate feeling good. Gotta know who we aren't to know who we are. Its all just contrast. Nothing wrong with fear and pain. They are meant to be temporary. Just to let you know that you're not in alignment with yourself. So you can correct your course. Its not supposed to cause suffering. Its the feedback loop that creates suffering. The oscillation of negative emotion until it drives us insane.

Society teaches us to create the negative feedback loop. So that we're easier to control. Because that loop makes greedy assholes more money. Girls feel they are broken, so don't you worry -- theres all these products to fix you. Don't feel like you fit in? Well, we got a product for that too. Lots of them. Only $9.99. or blah blah whatever. Society makes treatments instead of cures, because suffering allows for your medical insurance to be charged for your whole life. We are a society that is focused on making everything break so that money can be made with supposedly fixing it. But it is never fixed. Because then the money would stop.

Theres tons of ways to make money without screwing people. And people do make money that way. But many ultra rich assholes are addicted to the ways that screw people and they fear change. They too are in their own self-destructive patterns of oscillation. The masters have become the slaves of the slaves. How ironic.

And thats why your Dad's boss could be so heartless. Because his boss is an insecure little man, addicted to a paradigm, in fear of change. Even when the change is positive.

You have so much greatness and potential in you. And its so obvious to see. But with all of that emotional noise from all of that oscillation feedback, its difficult to think, much less see. Thats how the obvious hides in plain sight.

Give yourself permission to feel as you feel and know its okay to be human, and you will stop the oscillation and the tightness will begin to depressurize safely. There will probably be a lot of crying involved. But thats normal and thats okay. And you will feel lighter than you have ever felt in your life after you allow it to vent out and don't bottle it inside of yourself anymore. Your vision will begin to clear. Your own greatness will be more apparent to you. And you will begin to realize that you can change your life and effect the world around you in ways that might be inconceivable to you right this second. But you will begin to see them. And it will feel as if you've been reborn. And you will begin to change your life, and you will see through new eyes. And your soul will have a renewed sense of purpose.

Happy Birthday :tighthug:
