          and who cares if you're not outgoing? you don't have to be outgoing? being quiet is fine. there's nothing wrong with not wanting to participate in everything. so don't stress out about that. 
          you say that you are unhappy. and honestly, i admire the fact that you are brave enough to state that you are unhappy. i was depressed for so long, i was so unhappy, but i was so scared to tell anyone. i suffered because of that. it helps to talk about it, you know. do things you like, do things that make you happy. if something makes you unhappy, then stop doing it. it won't help you. but most importantly, be proud of who you are. as dr.seuss once said, "there is no one alive that is youer than you." you are valentina snow, and there is only one valentina snow on earth and there'll only be one valentina snow. you are unique, and perfect, and beautiful in your own way. don't let anyone else tell you any different. be happy and proud of who you are. valentina snow is pretty, quiet, a little bit not athletic, and sometimes not happy. embrace who you are and do things that make you happy.   be happy with what you do. because you are perfect in your own way. if you want to change something about yourself, do it in a healthy manner. if you were like everyone else, earth would be so bland. i'm not christian, but God put you on this earth for a reason. and i'm positive he'll guide you as you figure out exactly who you are. oh and by the way, you don't sound vain and selfish at all. remember that there is at least one person out there who believes in you (i'm positive that there are many more people who believe in you, not just me). stay strong! and happy new year!

i used to be terrified of even telling people on the internet, so the fact that you did that too is pretty brave :) it took me up to the point when i realized just how serious my depression was getting to turn to people i knew on the internet. i get what you mean, it's just so hard talking to people you're close to in real life. i don't know why, but it's hard to say it out loud i think. but hey, i think the fact that you realized you are unhappy means you're one step closer to getting to a happier place :) 
            and maybe i'm the  only one who took time to actually type all of this out, but i'm positive there were other people who wanted to say all of this to you but couldn't find the right words to say. and i'm sure there are people in your life who feel the same way too, but are too afraid to say it. somehow everything gets harder when you have to speak it out loud, you know? if you ever need anyone to talk to, feel free to talk with me!! also thanks so much for following me! you didn't have to!

:) Thanks for your reply. I don't think anyone's ever taken this much time out of their day to tell me I'm worth an ounce of something in this world. And, I've never mentioned to anyone that I'm unhappy except on the internet because nobody knows who I am.

          hello! i know you don't know me, and i don't know you but i came across your profile and i would like to tell you something. 
          
          you can do it. you can turn your entire life around.  you are capable of it. i believe in you. right now you might not know what you're doing, but you'll figure it out. just keep doing what you like doing. even if no one believes you'll get anywhere, know inside that you will, believe in yourself. i believe in you. 
          you say that you're not pretty, athletic, outgoing or happy. 
          but how do you know you're not pretty? prettiness in today's society is unattainable. pretty cannot be described in only one way, as today's society says. there's all sorts of pretty, everyone is beautiful in their own way. you are pretty. i know it. 
          you say that you're not athletic, okay maybe you're not. but who cares? you don't have to be athletic in order to be perfect. or maybe you dream of being athletic, well if you believe that you're not athletic, then there's no way  you'll ever be athletic. if you want to go into sports, and you realize that you're not that athletic, well work hard. have you watched the movie Rudy? it's about a guy who wants to play college football and even though he is so small, he works insanely hard and he gets to do what he's always wanted to do. or maybe you think you're athletic because you haven't tried the sport you're meant to play. i'm horrible at literally every sport known to man, and i used to feel horrible about it. but, i realized that the sport i'm meant to participate in is swimming, because i'm meant to be a swimmer. and i'm a dancer at heart too, despite my clumsiness in regular life, i can surprisingly squash my clumsiness while i dance. maybe that's what you have to do, find the sport you can play well.
