today is pens tells a story day

dunno i just feel like sharing these things sometimes, i mean why not right? you guys can handle it

sooo today was the third week of my sophomore year in high school

and when i was in homeroom listening to my very passive, hippie bearded hr teacher telling us how homeroom was going to go down, he played the slideshow for all the spirity things around school that needed doing

which i was not interested in at all last year

i don't know about you guys, but i am the kind of girl who is very comfortable leaving leadership roles in the hands of others, staying quiet when the teacher asks for volunteers, hiding behind my mom at the grocery store lol. having mini anxiety attacks in restaurants and other public places. plus my parents are kind of overbearing

i was unindependent

and i do not mean that in the sense that i did not have the freedom to get on youtube and watch whatever i want, or that i was locked in my bedroom like rapunzel;

i mean that i simply never had the self-confidence to act for myself outside of my own home or whenever i was forced to.

...and so there was a little weird thing all this time

it has been living on my shoulder for years, getting irritated whenever i try to simply make food and my parents insist on helping me and stuff like that, but lying mostly dormant

today, it just said 'lol what are you doing man'

so i signed up for student government, signed up for spirit week decoration committee, signed up for art club, decided to run for homecoming court next year as well as look into volunteering at the local animal shelter, library, or retirement home, and went driving for the first time ever

it's like a chain reaction that magically improved my self confidence

i am not going to tell you to do anything, because of course not everybody shares my personality

but in case you like this story and you think what worked for me would work for you, here is the advice: jump right into something that is rewarding in a way that does not isolate you from others, whenever you're ready (not just in your heart, but in your parents' opinions as well). don't be scared. you have brilliance, so do something great with it!

i don't know lol

i feel so good, guys

actually how's school? i know some of you started this week
