Welcome to Gaia! ::

I figure all of us need to rant about something going on in our lives, whether it's the small stuff or even bigger things. If you need to vent about something that's bugging ya, feel free to post. ^^

haha thanks, i feel like you made this thread cause of what i said in the main xD

i just wanna say there's a vid i watched recently on loosing weight, and i really think you should take what she says to heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6JKYCMNWOY
to be honest i think trying to loose weight or anything to do with your health based on a bet is a terrible thing, even if its something that might motivate you to do better - this is just how i feel personally, but i wouldnt try to take it as a bet

im on that band wagon as well, im having a hard time finding a job mainly because im in school and no one seems to want anyone working only weekends that isnt hospitality related
ive been able to pick up a couple gigs here and there, and they instantly all go towards paying for my school supplies and i still need to make some form of money this week to be able to buy supplies i need for next week and the week after

i think that's great that youre trying to help her out, dont worry im sure its helping her out in the long run. because to be honest you could go a long while without food, and it doesnt seem like a necessity once you begin going that way, but eventually your health turns bad. and by helping her out with food at least, you're ensuring her health. even tho it may not be helping her out entirely financially, know that youre doing some good for her as well

i had a friend who was dating this other friend (to be honest he wasnt really a friend of mine, but i just knew him from their relationship and just talked to him from time to time) and they fought all the time, they actually lasted quite long (i think maybe over a year or two, dont remember) but they always fought. and we were always like, why are they together then? but the thing was he was away for a year at boarding school though, so they didnt see much of either. but even then when they did see each other they just fought all the time.
i dont know what's brought out the change in him, has anyone talked to him about it? i find that once we become comfortable with someone with certain people they become too comfortable and stop caring and thus become insensitive and selfish.
but maybe someone needs to bring this up to him, sometimes we dont even notice how much we change.

edit: just an idea, but maybe you should make this an "official rant thread" just thinking in case you didnt want a lot of topics in here to be "rant related" say if someone else made a new thread in here. just saying that cause i see this as a clear atmosphere, and maybe some people dont want to click on a thread thinking its one thing, but its actually a rant related topic

There are several things I'd like to rant about...

I can't swear because people don't like it. It's better than the alternative, which is punching holes in the wall. I can't complain because it's a nuisance to everyone. I can't talk because I'll be told to shut up. I can't speak my mind because I could loose my relationships. I'm already struggling to keep the ones I do have. I can't go back to school because of the out of state fee. My mother and grandmother hate me because I moved. Mother doesn't like my girlfriend and vice versa. Girlfriend doesn't like my friends. I can't do anything right... I'm irritating because I don't talk, cant stand up, or think for myself. I'm back in the hole I climbed out of. I left my job to get away from my mother. I am unable to discuss my problems with my girlfriend because she'll tell me to move back to Minnesota. I can't talk to my mother without an argument she created and blames me for. I feel abandoned by my family because I moved. I don't buy anything because I don't need or want anything and I get yelled at about it. I feel guilty for fighting because, in the end, no one wins. I'm the first to apologize even if it wasn't my fault. I become depressed because I have no other way of expressing my frustrations. I'm a b***h because it's my way of isolating myself and dealing with my problems. I sleep too much because I'm depressed and there's nothing else I can do. It's been six years since I last cut myself and that's all I can think about doing again. I'm addicted to pain, caffeine, and gum. I loathe my sister's selfishness and my mother's relentless oppression. I'm usually the one who's short-handed. My sister got a new car, a new laptop and I got a 10 yr old car and a refurbished computer. Why am I the one ho has to change everything about me? it was for the better in all angles, but when I ask one thing in return, I never get it. Why is it so fking difficult to ask for some patience? When people tell me to speak up and then when I do, I'm told to shut up. How the hell does that make any sense? Why the hell am I forced to obey while others are left to run free?
