• 06/27/2024 ➣ yeah so she said goobye but she's still alive, with this being "18 attempts". this is just stupid, suicide is just stupid, if a bitch could learn that she's brainwashed then. trying all that shit on you is gonna leave you not reading her messages for a good while. she texts like nothing ever happened. at work you worked tirelessly helping students prepare for interviews even though their resumes aren't ready, they are not dressed properly, and much more. it was a lot of walking but it was alright. you come home to some more funeral drama, an alright scholarship program session, and other stuff while just trying to make it through the damn day. you feel like you ripped a muscle and now it seems like you got hours of work to do because kids can't do certain things themselves.
• 06/28/2024 ➣ you work for hours and hours with no sleep on stupid documents til you wake up and are lost on practically everything. you go to work and even you know some are wrong you will fix them later. had to do all that work with your bicep in pain with no sleep. you go to work with your friend upset at you that you put all that work on yourself. you are pissed with everything lately, all the shit that's happened since you enter high school, as long with more recent things, like your bicep pain, death of your grandfather, and conflict with your brainwashed friend who is being a dumbass. it was a lot of walking around and a lot of resumes with also a coworker testing your networking skills. you also try to make progress on the solar car and head home to fall asleep. then you watched my baby sitter is a vampire with friends and talked about how your one friend's dodged bullet is pretty much on some certified loverboy (or lovergirl in this case) certified pedophile type shit.
• 06/29/2024 ➣ you go to sleep after talking about that weird girl who would've dated a 21st century version of hitler if it was an arranged marriage to her sister. you tried to get some work done, ending up binging a lot of avatar and telling your friend about your brainwashed friend's situation with her wishing a baby was a stillborn and more. you check your texts and the friend still hasn't apologize to you yet.
• 06/30/2024 ➣ it's been a long time since you slept for more than 4 hours as you slept for about 10. it seems like your bicep pain is no longer there, whether it was a strain or an injury, you can probably start working out again with lighter weights. you finished avatar book 1, talked to your smurf looking friend who is heading off to college soon, did some work, and lust over honkai characters with a friend. you are not gonna do good on this upcoming math test.

✧ MONTH CLOSURE:

• another june comes a lot of things. another gay survey with results. another graduation. more goodbyes to say to friends. well, a lot of goodbyes to say to friends as your main friend group is graduating. that isn't to say you won't see them again as you hung out with several groups of people this month. you also got some annoying classes which might taint your gpa but atp you are pretty much secured to be the valedictorian so it doesn't matter much to you. you got an internship going, got accepted to join a youth cabinet, and are slowly building things up to your final college application. unfortunately, nothing can be completely sweet. your grandfather who has spent the past few weeks fighting in his physical condition passed away about 11 months after your grandmother. the same feelings and events are repeating and get annoying. not only that, but your friend is being annoying and you question what friendships will look like in the upcoming year and in the future. all you can do is keep moving. you don't let anything stop you. for your supporters, for your friends, for your family, and for the grandmother and grandfather who passed away.
