Heyoooooo! Now, you can just call me May. Anyway, I'm rebooting this website to make this cooler, better and more up to date. I started this web to help people like me just get through life, and I still want to do that, just not the way I did previously. I'm going to turn this into a mostly blog website, the groups and stuff are still going to remain, but they're going to go through a bit of polishing. Below, I'm gonna be posting why this reboot is gonna happen and also some other revelations.
IT JUST WASN'T WORKING
You know when you're, like, watching a movie, and there's that one scene where everyone's lost hope and they feel like it's just not worth it anymore? Yeah, that happened. I had such high hopes for this website, I went so far as to ask the teacher if it could be advertised to the whole school (thank you so much for taking this so seriously, Mrs. R, and asking me every now and then about how it was going!). But because of some educational stuff, they couldn't let me hang posters up on school. I wanted everything to stay anonymous, cuz I thought it would encourage people to talk about what they needed help with. But after a while, I realized that no one in their right mind would come to a weird website run by a teenager who had nothing better to do. So that's one of the reason why this is going through a reboot. But I'm still not gonna take it down, cuz I put so much effort and tears, heck, I poured my heart into it. I even cried a lot over it. Like, literally so much.
WE BROKE UP
I'm single. But not ready to mingle. LOL, I'm not talking about me and my non-existent boyfriend breaking up. I'm talking about the Council. We were going through some friendship drama, which I think most of 9th grade knows about. And by the time we fixed it, there were only two people left. Doodler and Miss. Love you guys for sticking with me. But then we went through another friendship crisis, then another, then another, then another. I don't know how many crisises (what's the plural of crisis?) we went through but our whole friendship was held together by a nearly broken thread. The thread was me, by the way, and it still is. The majority of the Council agreed that they can't work on the website (I guess I kinda forced them into being in it and I did sorta say that they could leave anytime). After that, I lost interest for quite a while. I went back to my life and tried to fix everything up as best I can, but it kept falling down as my stupid "friends" wouldn't stop fighting. My parents did always say that friends wouldn't always be there for me, family will. So I just... stopped. Stopped caring, stopped feeling, stopped studying hard. I felt numb for awhile.
I GOT MY MOTIVATION BACK
It wasn't until Eid* did I start feeling a bit happier. Some relatives came to visit and I got my first ever pair of headphones. To be honest, I prefer headphones than airpods or earphones. I don't know, after a while I started getting happy and recently I got my motivation back to start paying real attention to my work. And also, I didn't go to school for one day and missed out on a scavenger hunt which gave M&Ms and other candy as prizes. Like-- jhbcskwebcwivub. I frickin' love scavenger hunts and solving clues. And the one day I'm not there, they start one without me? The amount of audacity--. Anyways, the fact that I have a cold, my nose is full of snot, I lost a debate, missed a day of school, have an assignment due in two days and I haven't even started it and also the fact that I missed a scavenger hunt gave me motivation to write this post. So... I guess in a way all these negatives turned into a positive? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW?
Well, I still have a lot of things going on. There's still the problem of keeping my friendship group together, managing my classes and grades, paying more attention to my siblings, doing more around the house (I try, I really do. But somehow the book I've read five times already seems more interesting than washing dishes) and not to mention I started Badminton club and is just starting to learn the rules of driving and preparing for 10th grade. So yeah, I got a lot of things. But so do you (the person who's reading this). So, I'm just going to write about tips and tricks on how to get through school and other stuff and maybe some rants. This is gonna be like Instagram except more writing and less pictures. I really, really, really hope more people find this website and get something out of it. Cuz... I don't know, I just put a lot of work into it and I actually am proud of it. So... yeah. That's the story.
I still have to reboot this whole thing, but the next blog post is going to be about how to create your own scavenger/treasure hunt. I'm still mad about that so, why not write about it?
NOTICE: Members can write their own blog posts!
That's right, anyone who is a member can become a blog post writer and write or rant about whatever they want. But I'm gonna have to look through the posts first, if it's something which I think does not belong here, then I'm going to take it down. So please don't be offended, I don't mean any harm, but I'm going to message you first, then wait 1-24 hours depending on what the post is about before taking it down.
*Eid: It is a festival which Muslims celebrate at the end of their sacred month, Ramadan, and another Eid to celebrate a story between a father, a son, a sacrifice and a goat (or sheep or ram, no one really knows which animal)
