Eh, it's been a mess: still don't got a response from college on whether I've been declined or accepted, I got my first nephew, a bunch of really sick relatives & just trying to figure out my life somehow at the moment.

That's awesome! :la: The part about the nephew I mean, not the rest. My niece just had a baby a week ago so I became a great uncle... sorta. We're not actually related in any way, but I dated her aunt off-and-on for 7-8 years so I'm practically family.

And yeah - I know how you feel. I'm figuring my life out at the moment, too. The only problem is that the moment has lasted like ten years now.
:iconsolazyplz:

I hope your relatives feel better soon and your college finally gets around to giving you good news. :hug:

It's nice that you guys are still close. :la:

Can't afford to be out that long since life's pretty expensive. TAT

Girrrrrrrl, please. I know alllll about life being expensive. It's even worse when you have it all then watch as everything slips through your fingers and you have to rebuild everything from the ground up. Don't do that. Trust me. It's not fun. :stare:

(Also of note to you - one of my nieces here in my family-but-not-family is one of you - a colonist. :la: Well, a colonist of the mestiza variety - she's a bit of everything: white, Black, Seneca and yes, even puertorriqueña. And she's a genius and total overachiever in school - I swear to you if Hillary doesn't beat her to it, she's going to be the first female President. She's also a writer and I'm trying to get her to join dA but she's content with her Wattpad account that she never uses. I'm trying to get you some PR support here but no dice so far. :grump:)

Already had to do that-it sucks ASSSS.

(Aww~Well, if she's overachieving offline, that's all that really counts. :giggle: No worries on PR support; sometimes, I deliberately go out of my way to avoid other people from here because it feels awkward for some reason.)

:hug: Ugh. I was hoping you didn't know the feels of hitting rock bottom. “Sucks ass” doesn't even begin to describe it. Never give up though. Never. I'm now in my thirties (but just barely) so I'm well past the age where I should have given up on my dreams and let the cold, harsh truth of reality set in, but... NEVAR. While the odds are good that I'll wind up rotting away in a cubicle for the rest of my life, I'll keep writing and chasing dreams because I'm awesome like that. Or crazy. I'll let time work that one out lol

(Besides, if the Twilight and 50 Shades girls can write successful novels OMFG so can I lol)

You'll figure this life thing out. I have no doubt. :)

Yeah, when Daddy died, he left behind sooo much debt & if it weren't for the insurance money + me having basic accounting knowledge, I would have probably offed myself already.

Plz. 30s like, 10. I graduated with a 56yr old nun & if she can do it, so can anyone else.

(just need to be capable of writing garbage then? XD On a serious note, check out this Tumblr: writingcareer.com/ )

I can't really compare to your situation... you definitely got it way worse. Me losing everything was the result of my own bad decision making and I have to own that. :hmm: It's a looong story that only makes sense if the whole thing is explained - any abridged version will either make no sense or make me sound like an idiot and/or a twat.

(But it was baaad. And I was ready to off myself, too. I have the scars on my arms to prove it. >_>)



(Also, you're evil. Suggesting Tumblr on dA? :P But I certainly appreciate your evilness - I'll definitely take a look. You're the best. :hug:)
