--- just won't listen to me. Probably because I'm the youngest. And they think I'm just some foolish teenager but does well at school.

Let's not forget that my mom mistook me for the average & stereotypical "prep girl" / "band nerd". She thought my first boyfriend would be a guy from our school's football team. Like, really?? Just cuz a guy works out and looks nice does not mean he gets my vote. A guy I kinda like at school can barely remember my own name, and we've known each other for about 2-3 years now. Mom also thought I would go into band when I grew older instead of ART, my /passion/. Everyone who knows me knows I want to go into art when I grew up. Music'll be my second option, but to me, art comes first. And my family doesn't seem to get that.

Right at this very moment, my brother and my mom are playing one of my favorite multiplayer games and they never invited me to join in. I could hear the sound effects and immediately knew, and my dad reported it to me a few minutes ---

Shhhh fren
*gives you many packages of fruit snacks and candy*
I want to actually send you this like yES SNACKS FOR HAPPINESS
but eh i cannot i am sorry :{

--- after they started it up. They probably didn't want to see me after my behavior after we played Skip-Bo, a card game I absolutely despise. Another thing about that; I've told my family several times that I hate the game, but they act like it's the first time they've ever heard that. My brother thinks I'm an emo whiny 8itch, and my parents expect extremely high of me. Even higher than my brother, who is five years older than me.

@Darth_NotNice, your side of our art trade puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. Even now. So you're doing me a huge favor.

Sadly, I'm not able to see my moirail, Angelica, until Monday. So I'm gonna have to find my own comfort. If you guys are willing to help, I'll be here, watching the lack of comments since this is my doodle account.

I am thankful for all the friends and followers I have made in my time here. I am declaring today as ZueltheCat's 2-Year Colors-versary! Thank you all for your support and gifts in this span of time. <3 you all!

And especially, thank you all for putting up with me for this long. I am extremely happy and thankful to have many opportunities to meet with you, even make friends with some of you! Although I post this melancholy picture on a glorious occasion, I want you all to know that I care about each and every one of you.

Good night to you all!

Hush, friend. Families can be such fi.ckle things. Relationships and future goals can be muddled as hell. I know this stuff from experience. But trust me, it won't always be this bad. So what if your mother wants a certain thing from your life? It's your life, not hers. Date who you want to date. Do what you want to do in life. So what if your family is playing your favorite multiplayer game? I know it's your favorite, but you can still have fun on your own. Draw! Sing! Read a good book! Text people about silly things! Watch videos on things you like! It may seem like your relatives are excluding you, but so what? Prove that you don't need their excluding you; enjoy yourself whether in a group or alone. Believe me, sometimes it's much better to spend time in enjoyable, solitary silence than in a noisy place of people. And about that card game you dislike? Try and be calm and assertive about your stance on it. Make your opinion clear, and make sure that they have the knowledge that--

/you do not like this game./ It'll take a while of metaphorically beating it into their heads, but if you are collected and strong on it, eventually they'll respect your status on it and leave you be.

I know a little something about parents having great expectations of you, but not so much for your siblings...

Not the best feeling, I'll admit.

...

On a lighter note, happy Colors!-Versary! Glad you've met so many wonderful people here.

Da.mn, this is just... harsh.
I wish there was something more I could say other than the fact that I know exactly what you're feeling...
Really though, I don't think you're a buzzk.ill at all. You seem to be able to go through a lot more than other people I know without freaking out. On an emotional scale, you seem pretty strong and able to help lift other people around you.
(Correct me if that's faulty judgement on my part. I don't know you very well in person.)
I hope you feel better soon.
Last little caveat: Would you like an art trade? Could help us both a bit.

Hey, don't worry about it. I had a crappy Thanksgiving this year too. It was over at my house so all my cousins came over and such. The stupidest thing happened though. I was allowed to go light a candle when I said it kinda smelled so I borrowed my mom's lighter and went to light it. But because I only learned how to use a lighter this year (yeah it's pretty pathetic lol) my brother kept making fun of me and whenever I turned on the lighter he would blow it out. So my cousin and I managed to push him out the door, but my hand got caught in the door while my cousin was still pushing on it. Thankfully I didn't break anything but it still kinda sucked that my hand got smashed :/ Plus all my family members don't think much of me either
