I'm sick of being the first person to always have to say hello. I'm sick of the fact that if I ever want to befriend someone I have to be the one to go out and make the effort. I'm sick of not having friends that are kids my age, that are flippin' guys my age. I'm sick of thinking that I put the kettle on and then eight and a half minutes later I make myself a cup of tea only to realise my tea is cold because no, I didn't put the kettle on. I'm sick oh school and their lack of understanding about how things affectus when it means nothing to them. I'm sick of sitting down to do work and then the whole day goes by and I've actually written less than three sentences and I don't know where the time went because I wasn't distracted to my memory. I'm sick of forgetting things - I once had the greatest memory ever. I'm sick of being being in the lowest I have been and then I have to help everyone through their own problems without them even reading that I might actually be dieing on the inside something shocking - and having to have the pressure of people yelling at me 'I have a gun right here = now you better convince me not to kill myself of I will' over the flippin' internet. I'm sick of not being able to sing like Josh Groban. I'm sick of the pressure. I'm sick of the fact that I dislike school. I'm sick of the fact that mail doesn't arrive on time. I'm sick of the fear of actually being failed at school because I don't put in enough effort. I'm sick of people assuming. I'm sick of hurting and crying everyday. I'm sick of the fact that I shouldn't feel because everyone else is going through stuff. I'm sick of getting replies saying 'I know exactly what you mean sometimes about it being hard to maintain a friend' because this doesn't help me. I'm sick of being so low. I'm sick of the fact that my mind doesn't think in a straight line. I'm sick of the fact I embarrass myself in public. I'm sick of the fact friends lose contact so pursue other worthless areas of there lives. I'm sick of the fact that friends make promises they can keep but don't anyway. I'm sick of people not seeing my view. I'm sick of making sure I am nice at most situations and still not having a friend who i see regularly who understands. I'm sick of people saying 'I offered you friendship and you haven't taken it' because it's crap. I'm sick of my life not working out consistently. I;m sick of not knowing the meaning of words I should. I'm sick of alot.
I'm grateful for alot too - but that doesn't mean it's wrong for me to feel flippin' sad.

You're a good kid in the wrong situation. There's so much love inside of you and so little around you that it gets sucked out and absorbed like nothing even happened. When you age and get out of there and your physical deeds expand and fill the space your mind has set for you, you will be happy. When there is balance between what you want and what you can create for yourself you will be fine. This right now is no fun. Sometimes it is ok but often it just sucks. My advice to you is to remain focused on the future, and all the wonderful things that I know it has to offer you, and to allow that hope to enter your everyday life. When you are only focused on the present, and the present is bad, you get sucked in to the hole, but when you're looking up and at the future you might see the rope that's hanging down, or some other more appropriate metaphor.
I hate that you have to feel like this because you are one of the most genuinely nice guys I have ever met, and that is something to be proud of. In a lot of situations you'll come across, everybody will want to take advantage of that, but there will be some things that will fit you so perfectly you wont understand how you lived without them, and those are the things you have to grab hold of.
Dont lose sight of happiness man, because it hasn't lost sight of you.
Take care chris, it will work out.

Yesterday was the first day in a row of a fair few for me not to cry. Well it was going to be... until I read that reply. I don't know if this is a bad thing or not - but what you wrote was definitely real and beautiful.
I want to catch up with you sometime - as you are one of my favourites. I know this will take weeks to organise - but I thought if I mention it now, at least I will see you before this terrible thing they call 'trials'. Maybe.

I'd like to catch up, we've yet to see just how badly going back to uni and working and setting up my business affects me.

My key point: a person as nice as you deserves great happiness. And I'm sure it will come. I while ago I felt like you seem to do so now, but things worked out for me. I'm sure they will work out for you.
