Often I feel life pulling me down. This past month, nothing in particular has been bothering me and yet everything seems to be getting under my skin. My friends, my exams, my emotions, my family, even the people who aren't my friends are things that irritate me.

Hi, I typed seclusion into a google search engine and found you blog. You're a hell of a writer and I find a lot of what you've said to be inspiring. I'm a writer, too, and once faced the same thing you faced--I remember you worded it like, why spend time knitting a safety net when you could be spending that time on your goals. When I was seventeen, I thought the same thing. Though I'm more of a rebel, I guess...how I thought it was, why build a safety net, because if you're going to fail, it was all for sweet fuck all and who cares if you crash to the ground? I dropped out of high school and devoted all of my time to reading and writing. Not much success yet, a few short stories published. Been at this six years now. But nobody really had any high expectations for me, I know you ethnic kids always have much more stern parents...
Anyway, I find you interesting. I think it's amazing that somebody on the other side of the world (I'm Canadian) has such a similar life as I have. At times it was like I was reading my old thoughts on your blog.
My email, if you ever want to talk, is Statistician@hotmail.com.
Good luck with your life, and stay close to those six people. They seem like good people. But if you really want to be happy, you might be better off not being a writer, is one thing I've learned. And if you do want to be a writer, the most important thing is that you never give you up. My motto, as a writer, is: I'm uneducated and inexperienced, and it shows, but I've only ever gotten better...and I'm never going to stop.
