A Loser's Thoughts on Life

Love #12: Losers (and Goodbye??)

Wow, I can't believe it's actually over.

Yup, you heard it hear first folks: A Loser's Thoughts on Life has officially come to a close.

Now, I can already hear the questions: 'Why are you ending a rant book with a love?' Well, I have the answer for you. I feel like this accurately represents my journey throughout this rant book. When I began this, I had all this pent up anger towards people and things. And now, through this therapeutic method of dealing with that anger, I have learned how to put my anger aside and come to peace with things.

Just the other day Boring_Tings said to me: "Your rants have been so inspirational lately!" and I realized, they have. And that is because my focus has shifted from being mad and angry and ranting about the things that have upset me to trying to help people and make a difference in their lives. Okay this is starting to sound really overly dramatic but you get my point. Less hate, more love. So I am ending this rant book off with a note of love for all of you.

This may not be the most popular book on my account, but it is the book where I feel I have been the most open with all of you. Again, when I first started this book I was very guarded. I talked more about other people and less about myself. But now, I have posted rants where I talk about very personal things that I find hard to say aloud.

Writing has always been an escape for me. I find it a lot easier to write about my feelings than speak them aloud. And yes, I have been trying to cope with my feelings better, despite my emotions rant. Basically, I can truly express who I am through my writing. And being able to share this with you all, even if I will never meet you in person, has been a truly amazing experience.

Thank you for all of you who voted when I still had that stupid 'vote if you agree' closure. Thank you to all of you who commented and said that you had experienced something similar, or said that I wasn't alone, told me to keep doing what I am doing, or simply had something to say. Thank you to all of you that followed me and made my day. I cannot express (even in writing) how much you all mean to me.

If you think you are going to miss my updates, you can only imagine how this is going to go for me. What am I going to do when I'm bored in class, or have writer's block with one of my other stories? Or when I am angry or upset and need to rant?

I really don't know. But that's okay! Because change is good, remember? (so many references to past rants, I apologize).

Ranting has been fun. It really has. But it's time to move on. It's been, what, almost a year? Over a year? I honestly don't know when I actually started writing these. I think it's been a year. Does it really matter? No. Either way, it's been a long time. And it's been a great time!

I'm going to miss being able to openly communicate with all of you. But on the upside, this is a great time to go catch up on any of the rants you might have missed over the 12 months I've been writing them! (P.S. There's one hundred of them).

And yes, some of them are better than others. Still haven't made my mind up over my Netflix debate. I'm also still annoyed at my Wattpad notifications. Oh, and I still hate Boring_Tings . (Just kidding. I love you).

Do I have some people to thank? Oh, too many to name! But I will try anyways.

searsmist for never reading. Ever.

Boring_Tings for providing tons of inspiration :)

heartrain31259 for helping me work up the nerve to publish the first chapter <3

the_purple_boss for putting up with me ranting to her while I typed a rant in business class (good times)

sabrinademelo for being cool and living through most of this stuff with me

ANNNNDDDDDD of course all of you reading this right now! You are all amazing. And if it weren't for you this little rant book (not so little anymore) wouldn't be rated in the top 100 on the Non-Fiction charts! The highest ranking (so far) has been 45 and that is pretty darn amazing. I mean, it might not be a super competitive category but I still consider that a major accomplishment!

I want to post a little bonus chapter for you all with some never-before-seen rants so ask me questions in the comments & I will answer them in the next chapter! They can be about anything, my inspiration for this story, my favourite rant, my opinions on things... Whatever you want to know!!! I'll answer them all.

Well, I think that's all I had to say.

*sings* so one last timmmmeeeeee (ariana grande? anyone? no? ok) I love all you Losers and thank you so much for everything you have done for me and this rant book.

For the last time,

xoxo Emmalynn
