Madness

2 days, 5 hrs & 1 min ago
18th May 2026 16:55I don't know if y'all are too old for school (or just too cool), but I'm in 10th grade, and I feel like I'm going genuinely insane because of school. Finals are next week, and I'm so burnt out. My grades are awful, and I'm under so much stress. This morning we had an assembly for various awards to be presented: it ended up being about two hours long. Those are two hours of my life I'm never getting back. My laptop charging cord broke the other day, and a new one is somewhere in between $30-55. My headphones, which are maybe a few months old at most, seem to have already stopped working in the right ear. Last night, I was harassed by a dude online who was begging me to call him because he was "hard af" and I'm "fine af". He refused to take no for an answer, so eventually I blocked him. Unfortunately, this is nowhere near the first time something like this has happened. I have a few photos of myself in my bio on that app: photos of me just smiling and existing and having a good time with life. Not sexual whatsoever. Yet, of course, horny internet douchebags have to make things that way. Some may try to blame me for having photos in my bio, that I was "asking for it" or whatever, but that's not how this should work. Very normal pictures of me standing should not be sexualized. It might prevent me from having further such incidences to remove any and all photos of myself from the internet, but at the same time, I don't want to have to make myself smaller because of men. After all, it would be them that need to change, not me. I hate that society is like this; I wish I could change it or fix it or just do
something to help the cause. I would love to run away and become the local cryptid, but unfortunately, human imperfection is something I can never run away from in this life. It's a problem that needs to be faced head-on; running away and ignoring it helps no one.
Well, stay punk, friends, and stay alive. Nobody die on purpose, alright? Survive out of spite, if nothing else.
