Hey there guys! It's Joe and just like every other month, here's an update as to what's been up with me.
So in all honesty, these past few weeks have been absolutely amazing for me! School has been fine. Been doing good musically. The animal shelter I work at offered me a job once I turn 16 next month. And most importantly, things have never been better than they are now with my girlfriend.
We finally kissed for the first time last Monday and all I can say was that I literally felt my mind explode. It was incredible. For the past few days now, we've been staying up until ludicrous hours just talking and I love it so much.
She's everything I ever wanted in a romantic partner. She's kind, caring, funny, smart, cute, playful, and just overall amazing.
The only downside is that her parents don't want her dating right now so our relationship really only exists through texts and the time we spend together in school.
But, with that being said, I love her so much. More than even myself...which is probably why I posted that message earlier today.
So yesterday was my girlfriends birthday and I had gotten her a necklace with a turtle charm on it (cuz she likes dem turtles :P) and she really liked it, but it started to become apparent that something was off.
Eventually I found out that she was actually feeling pretty terrible because of how little everyone (including her own family) seemed to care about her.
She doesn't care about getting gifts, but still would appreciate people at least saying happy birthday to her.
Well barely anyone did.
And when she got home, she lit, blew out, and cut her own cake by herself.
She started crying apparently afterward.
On top of all this, it had been a stressful week for her anyway.
Her grandfather is in the hospital and she has a million things due in just one class alone.
Do you ever just wish you could just protect the people you love. That you could just hold them and tell them it'll be ok and magically, it is all ok. That's what I wanted to do.
I hate feeling useless like that. Like I can't do anything for her. Like all you want for a person who you love so much is for them to be happy and when they're not and they feel basically depressed, you want to just hurt the people that caused this.
That's what I felt this morning.
She told me she wasn't coming in to school today because she still didn't feel great about yesterday and I just had to let some steam out.
Anyways, she's been texting me throughout the day and she seems ok now, so that makes me feel better.
So now Onto the last thing I want to talk about tonight.
If you haven't heard yet, there's been a terrorist attack in Paris, France.
There were several bombings, shootings, and a hostage situation all within the city.
I can't imagine what the families of all the victims are feeling right now, but I do hope justice is brought down upon the people that orchestrated this horrendous act.
And I also want to say to all the islamaphobes who are going to be coming out of the woodworks after this event because it is believed that isis was involved in this: shut up.
I'll admit, I don't believe in any religion, but that doesn't give me the right to condemn millions of people and saying they're all monsters and barbarians. So stop. There's enough hate in this world already and we don't need anymore.
I also want to bring up that there was an earthquake in Japan and a tsunami warning there now too. My thoughts and condolences go out to the people there aswell.
So ya, I know those last few parts were somewhat depressing, but I do believe that through love and compassion, we can make a better tomorrow.
So as always, thank you all so much for reading and I'll see you all next time. Ok? Ok. See ya!
