Reasons why I'm a walking paradox - WARNING: Contains Deep Inner Feelings (yes I have those believe it or not)

I love being by myself, I can't bear it when people interrupt me when I'm working on something, but I really, really hate being home alone.

I hate traditions and I really want the world to change for the better, but I'm terrified of changes in my own life. I know change is good, so why am I terrified of it?

Part of me loves being adventurous and trying new things, but another part just wants everything to be the way it always is.

I hate anything girly or feminine, but I really love to dance - something that's typically a "girl thing".

I love coming up with dark, creepy, disturbing stuff, but I won't watch any movie that has anything even mildly inappropriate because it makes me really uncomfortable, even though crap like that goes on in my head all the time.

Sometimes I'm cold and unemotional as heck, I can't get worked up over anything, it's almost scary, but sometimes I create these total dramas in my head out of tiny little things.

Certain things that would upset others don't make the slightest impression on me, but sometimes small things that shouldn't bother me in the slightest can make me feel really off for like, days.

When faced with a challenge, sometimes I'm all cool and completely unworried, other times I literally have a nervous breakdown.

Whenever I'm around people my age, I always feel so much younger than them; they're already doing stuff like being in relationships and going out with partying with friends, things I don't intend to do for a good few years, if ever. They're seem so much more independent than me. But at the same time, I also feel a lot older and more experienced than they are... I'm a lot more confident in who I am.

I can't wait to grow up and be an adult, and have so much more freedom than I do as a teen, but the idea that soon I'll be an adult and I'll have to take responsibility for things makes me freak out, BIG time.

I always feel like I want to have complete control over my own life, but half the time I sit back and let my parents take decisions for me, because I can't handle the responsibility.

I long for the day when I'll be old enough to be independent from my parents, make it on my own, but at the same time the idea of being alone in the world without my parents behind me honestly scares the living shit out of me.

I'm always that kid who isn't interesting in dating or romance at all, who has never had feelings for anyone, but that changed a couple of years ago and I just keep on denying it.

Sometimes I'm really confident about myself, I think I'm awesome, nothing can get me down, but at other times I have so many doubts about myself. So many. 

                                                                                           

Aaaaaaaaargh I think I might be insane. Seriously, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I'm literally a paradox on legs. I have all these contradictory personality traits and just keep having all these little identity crises, because every time I think I've figured out an aspect of my personality, I realise I also have another part of my personality that contradicts it. Cue me feeling like a liar, a fraud, and like I honestly have no idea who the hell I am.

I don't know who I am. I don't bloody understand myself at all and hell, that is not a good feeling. Everyone's always like, "just be yourself!" Well, that's not so freaking easy when you don't have a clue who "yourself" is. Seriously, if anyone understands me, explain me to me. I really want to know.

I guess everyone goes through stuff like this when they're my age. I mean, I'm fifteen, who isn't confused about their identity at fifteen. I'm probably high on wild teenage hormones that are just messing with my brain, and that's why I'm feeling like this.

Urgh sorry this makes no sense to anyone apart from me. But the main reason I created this blog in the first place was for me to rant about things that were eating away at my mind, and this is me ranting about something that's been eating away at my mind. Also I'm tired. I'm always tired these days, what is wrong with me.

Okay I'm going to finish this off now before I keep rambling on until tomorrow.

    I think it's normal for people to contradict themselves, and it's also normal to be tired. :)

    I love the new blog name and design!

    You sound just like me at 15! You're creative and my impression is that you're a bit of a loner; those two things probably won't ever change but don't be in a rush to get older - the freedom can often be out-weighed by the additional responsibilities that are thrust upon you as you get older.
    I remember people who seemed to have no problems in their lives telling me to 'have fun' like it's a switch that you can just flick on. Having like-minded friends around you changes everything though so never turn down the opportunity of a party invitation as you never know who you'll meet who could change your life...

      Haha, yeah I am a bit of a loner! Yes, having fun isn't always as easy as some people seem to think. XD And yeah, having friends who are similar to you can make all the difference!
      Thanks for stopping by!

    Woah okay, the part about being an adult and having more freedom but being scared to live without my parents *s p e a k s* to me. And that part about denying romance. That hits hard man, truer words have never been spoken.

    Anyways, I really do agree that "being yourself" is not as easy as it sounds. Literally one of the vaguest advice ever, as there are so many facets of who we are as individuals, and WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO SEE

    *cough* That aside, don't worry you make perfect sense. I think that no one's got it all together, so just take your time; eventually (hopefully), we'll all find ourselves somewhere, someday ❤

"You Can't Change The Past": A short story

You can't change the past. It's the only thought in my mind as I sit alone in my room. It spins around and around in my head, obliterating every single other thought. You can't change the past. You can't change the past. I wish I could, though. I wish it with all my might. I wish I could step through a portal and appear, say, a year into my past. I could grab hold of myself at that time and explain what would happen, and how easily I could avoid so much grief and heartache. Just a decision. Just by making a single decision differently my life could change completely. I laugh bitterly. That sort of thing only happens in sci-fi movies. In real life we're forced to live with the consequences of our actions. No time travel. No easy way out. I've made so many mistakes. So many. I didn't know they were mistakes at the time - I thought I was doing the right thing, always. But I see now how terribly misguided I was. If only I'd had someone to make me see...

Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge: September

This is actually going to be a thing I'm so excited!!! Hey, remember the idea I wrote about yesterday in this post?  Well, a few people said they were interested so I've decided to make it into something official. Welcome to Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge! (I'll probably give it a snappier title later on...) The idea: at the start of every month, I come up with a theme, such as "music", "friendship", "pets", "summer". And whoever wants to participate has until the end of the month to write a short story on the theme I've chosen. Here are the rules! THE RULES: - Anyone can participate! - There aren't really any rules about what you can write, so long as it has something to do with the theme (that's the whole point of this challenge, after all). I only ask that you keep it clean (i.e. no bad swearing or any content that's unsuitable for kids, you get the idea). - You can write as much or as little ...

*jumps into view* HEY GUYS! So. It's been a while. I mean, not a huge while?? Just like... three weeks? Ok so that's a pretty big while. BUT. Hey, I'm here now,  aren't I!! I'm back!! Isn't this exciting!! Anyways, I do  have an excuse for having dropped off the blogging radar for some time, or rather, I have several excuses. These are:                           1. I have my first GCSE exams coming up in just over a week (A WEEK?!) so I've been reeeallly busy revising and finishing everything off and just basically stressing. (I mean, I'm not that stressed? But I do have LOADS I still have to revise before my exams.) Which means I have very little free time to come up with blog posts and even less time to actually WRITE the darn things. (No but seriously, how come blog posts can't just write themselves?? It would make everything so much easier.)               ...
