this just happened and i’m absolutely terrified i been sleeping in the basement lately cuz the bed it more comfortable that one in my room and bigger tv well this night i decided to do a face mask so went to my bathroom when i realized the toilet paper was taken off the little handle thing and nobody but me ever goes in the basement and i inly stay in the main area so still other rooms and closest hardly ever seen so i freaking out cuz i think someone else is in my basement idk what to do and i’m to scared to check alone at night… my dog just started barking at the door

I hate myself with every bone in my body. Nobody likes me at school, my friends all suck. I'll never be popular. I'm going no where. I'm afraid this is where my life will peak, and it isn't even that far up. I'm scared my life will all reflect off of this, that for the rest of my life everyone will think of the shy unpopular no friends girl and decide I wouldn't be a good friend. What if I'm stuck with this personality of mine for the rest of my life? What if I can never come out of my shell? What if my life amounts to absolutely nothing? I have big dreams, like to be a guitarist, artist, author, poet, environmentalist, but I don't think that'll happen. My dad wants me to go to college. My dad wants me to be a teacher and stay here in this little town and have a family. I want a family, but i want to travel. I dont want to have a sucky teaching job. I don't want to be stuck with someone or a job or even a life I hate. I'm scared. I'm terrified. It feels like my entire life is based off of what I decide to do right now and I just can't. I cant decide. I wanna stay young but I also want to have friends. I want to grow up and have a better life but at the same time I'm scared it'll be worst.
