wow, I'm jealous. I stopped going to my family Christmas when I was 12 cuz it was always so boring

there's always about 6 family members(who I'm not really fond off) and all they do is talk for a bunch of hours, eat the disgusting traditional food and call it a day. 

also, there was this stupid tradition that if you are a woman you have to help my grandmother around the kitchen. no thank you, I'd rather sleep.

Oh ours surely isn't boring XD we're the type of people who do egg-hunts on Easter and fearfactory challenges at summer
- and although we're all fancy at Christmas with the dinner and traditional foods etc...most of the time we end up laughing and having fun - and every year I plan some sort of a game
for those present (most often our family and some relatives - last year we had a giant pictionary and year before that we played silly trivial pursuit) and we go crazy. 

And lucky for me I happen to love doing stuff in the kitchen - me and my mom and my sister usually prepare everything together
and it's fun! 

Am I rambling too much XD

well i like doing stuff in the kitchen too but i'm always the one who has to set up the table, and not actually cook which is pretty stupid. actually i wouldn't want to cook there anyways, my grandma always shouted at me for using the wrong recipes yadda yadda.  i'm glad at least you're having fun haha

ohh for me it's the other way round, my grandfather has been dead for years haha. my grandma is also a really strange one. sometimes I feel like she's a supernatural being who hasn't interacted with humans for years, and I'm the only one who can actually see her lmao

eh I'm actually not that close with my family like I mentioned before. even with my mother who I live with. it's really obvious she hates me so I spend as little time with her as possible haha! but it was easy getting used to it when I realised that was the case, my entire life I've never met anyone who actually genuinely likes me! my mother isn't special, life's good haha.

oh, I love baking too! but just when I'm home by myself^^

uh also sorry for rambling this kinda hits too close to home lmao but do I care? not really

My both grandmas died some 10 years ago and I never met my other grandpa so... one it is
and he's this kind of an old fashioned business man with class and we've only gotten closer in the recent years
due to him being... well a case, I think he still thinks he's on top of the world and everything has to go his way...

Aww I'm sure your mom doesn't hate you ... possibly she just doesn't know how to show love.
And as far as I know - I genuinely like you so I can't image no-one else would not...

Baking is soooo much fuun my speciality are chocolate cookies, different cheese cakes, pulla and these feta pastries <3
Nah I like rambling and listening to it too XD

my grandma from my mum's side died when I was about 3.

I never met my grandfather from my father's side, while the grandmother from his side died about a year ago(i used to despise her, so this might sound a bit shocking, but I'm glad she died lmao) and luckily my favourite grandparent is still alive!

my grandmother is this old lady who likes working in her garden and  knitting a bit too much, and we've always been close^^ and also wow I get what you mean by that, my grandma used to be stubborn as shit too, except now she realised that sometimes when I play devils advocate im actually the correct one. smart one, but stubborn too. she still argues with my mum a shit ton though which is kinda funny.

nah my mum hats me and i hate her, it's mutual but at the same time we manage to get along since she occasionally buy's me alcohol and i get good grADES   

and wow I'm glad someone likes me! i mean i do have some friends on dA i love talking too, but im not that popular in real life/school. im not that good at expressing myself when im talking as when im writing, so i usually tend to stay quiet or agree with the speaker. and that's why people call me shy. but like idk how to tell them I'm not shy, talking just takes effort.

ikr! the things i like doing the most are macarons and bougatsa,(or anything that involves alcohol) but i know how to make muffins and cakes too^

also same^^

I was very close to my other grandma, the other not so much, but now that I'm older
I kinda miss having them around. I mean of course you didn't realize to appreciate them enough when you were a kid...
grandpa's cool but he's really not the type whose lap you can climb onto or who takes you fishing...and he's stubborn as heck! Last year he moped for months due to my mom not calling him often enough. 
Your grandma sounds awesome a little like mine, yet she was more into cooking than knitting. 

It sounds like such a shame to me still. I mean it's your mom...
Mine is like my best bud! If I want to go to see a movie or go shopping or feel lonely, she's the one I usually call first. 
Like today she randomly called me like "hey wanna go out to have lunch" and we went out to get lunch together (I don't live at home, but close enough)
Awesomeness!

Nah popularity is overrated, you only need a couple of good friends and that's enough... 
besides interacting with other's also takes practice so perhaps you should just give a try of being yourself around other people and see how they react
you might be pleasantly surprised.

Nephterys In reply to CuriousCucumber [2019-04-01 00:20:10 +0000 UTC]

I am sorry that you miss them

also well. my grandma would be that type of person if I wasn't literally 20cm taller than her. I'd probably break her knees lmao. also, my grandma complains too me about my mum not calling too! all the time!!

uh, I'm not sure if my grandmother actually enjoys cooking? like she does it allow but does she actually like it? who knows.

also, I've been told that out of every close relative of mine(father, mom, grandma, etc etc.) I'm actually the most similar to my grandma and after thinking about it I realised how true it is. strange but kinda cool.

I mean it's not like I care about my mum. she's one of those fake mums that pretend to have a normal family and be nice to everyone., just so she could maintain a ''perfect family'' picture. while in fact, we're broke, she's neglectful, rude af and only cares about my education. I can't wait to be 18 and get out of this place lmao. but in return, I do some shitty things too, like spend my entire allowance on cigarettes and alcohol, and ignore her curfew. yadda yadda. (Also there was this one time I told her in a wlw, and after a few weeks, I told her that I changed my mind cuz it was so awkward. like maybe she didn't disown me, but she used to make fun of me, and she showed it in some other ways that she doesn't accept it. she literally sent me to therapy under the excuse that I'm socially awkward???) but I'm glad at least you've got a normal family! it truly must be nice tbh i'm closer to my granny than my mother. shes a cool woman haha!

and I mean yeah popularity is overrated, but I've only got like 3 friends? and not even like best friends, I'm not their ''priority'' friend(does this make sense?? idk)) so yeah that's what I meant.

also, try being myself??? uh, I don't remember what the hell I actually am like haha! everyone at school knows me as the sarcastic cynic so yeah. maybe that is who I truly am? maybe. but at the same time, everyone at my current school is so rude I don't even give a fuck about what they think of me so there's that.

also, this is getting too personal, isn't it? oh well, who cares.

It's okay ^^ been years now and I'm happy I got to have them as long as I did. 
It's apparently a grandparent thing to complain about people not calling them often enough XD 
It's fun to notice how you resemble people in your family I actually look most alike with my aunt (or her young self)
but I'm sooo much alike with my dad when it comes to personality. 

That's sad to hear D: I'm sorry you have to manage such situation. 
However as an adult I gotta say - spending your money on alcohol and cigarettes is not only shitty, it's down right
idiotic and will backfire sooner or later. So I'd advice you to spent or save your money on something less destructive. Not for your mom, but for yourself. 
Besides isn't it illegal for you to have alcohol since you're a minor? No wonder your mom is worried, though I think therapy might be a tad too much...
yet I've heard many go there and it helps. I'm sorry if I sound like a nitpicking adult, but when you move out things get more difficult when it comes to money...

Well if you are a sarcastic cynic then be... people will naturally end up with those they feel good around
and there are friends for everyone somewhere. And I doubt your whole school is rude, you just haven't found the gems yet.

Dunno, I'm not a very private person and have very little to hide so XD 
I mainly enjoy talking about all kinds of stuff

Haha yeah I guess so! Well as of looks i dont look like anyone, im a disaster while my entire family is organised af lol, but personality wise i am like my grandma^^

And nah Its totally fine^^ well, I don't really care about saving/spending money on anything else. I've got everything I've wanted(which boils down to like, some oil paints and a guinea pig).
Also I'm already self destructive so who cares about what I do?
And it definitely is, but someone far away from my house, there's this small shop, and inside that shop, is a goddess. And she sells everything to everyone, which i am really grateful for(well not everyone, but i pretty much look like an adult so I get a pass)
And my mum isn't worried. She literally bought me some cigarettes yesterday cuz I want bothered to go to that shop. And she sent me to therapy cuz I told her im gay. What the fuck do you really think that's normal.
And what is it supposed to help me with? Does therapy just turn people straight or what

And well yeah I definitely know that but do I really need the money? Id rather be homeless and not having to keep in contact with her than live with my mother till im old.

And well i mean Its not like I'm rude to them. I just, use sarcasm a little too much and say that i dont really care about anything. Also there's like 200 people at this school. There's no gems.

And for me, it depends on the person. Most of the time ill do whatever I want with the conversation, change the topic when It gets too personal yadda yadda, but occasionaly i just like to say everything I have on my mind, like right now^^

CuriousCucumber In reply to Nephterys [2019-04-01 09:58:47 +0000 UTC]

It's always good to have savings! Put a little aside every now and then and you have a nice amount of money stored for when you move out
- you know, just for living costs, maybe for your own place that you can decorate... you never know what the future brings so better safe than sorry. 
Also you might feel that way now, but that doesn't mean you feel that way tomorrow or next year, so I see no reason why you shouldn't plan for your future.
For it might just be awesome as heck! (living at your own place is! )

Stating you're self-destructive - that's totally a reason, a big reason, to go to therapy, because it's not a state of mind a person should be in. 
And trust me - you don't want to be homeless so don't doom yourself to that fate now. 

You can't know that - people can learn to understand sarcasm
and you could also learn to understand them, friendship rarely happens just like that but it takes time and work.
Hobbies are another good opportunity to find people with same spirit. 

I'm fine with that, there's aren't really topics I can't or won't talk about
and hearing people's stories and opinions is fun.

Nephterys In reply to CuriousCucumber [2019-04-01 15:27:47 +0000 UTC]

I mean yeah I do have some savings! there's always at least 200zl sitting in my piggy bank haha(equivalent to like 52USD) but the thing is I don't even get that much allowance. 100zl per 6 months if she actually remembers to give it to me, 20 is spent on cigarettes and the rest is spent on necessary things like clothing or art supplies(well not that necessary but you get the gist of it).

also, I don't actually believe I've got a future. the story is a bit too long, but the conclusion is that after all that's happened to me, I'm too tired to change it. and I don't see myself getting out of this position anytime soon. I don't believe my life is ever gonna change.

and it's not like I'm the first person to be self-destructive. this is really hard to explain to someone who doesn't actually hate themselves haha. also, therapy doesn't help. I went for a few months and then decided I'm gonna stop going cuz its a waste of money and I didn't get anything out of it. trust me on this, therapy's bullshit.

I do lots of hobbies? I uhh paint, play the guitar and uke, skateboard, occasionally box and I used to dance?? where are the friends?? whERE arE thEy?? (Actually, I do have a bunch of online friends I bonded with over drawing but uhh) also, I was thinking about what you said about friends earlier(i got your message at school but I've never got enough brain cells to answer while at that hellsite) and I realised that actually im not that unpopular? which is pretty cool. like maybe i'm no heather chandler but I've got a bunch of friends I could talk to haha!

That's good
zl? zlotys? You're from Poland? 
I remember my times in uni .... always short on cash as well as all my allowance went to my rent.
So I had to survive the year with the savings I got from summer jobs. Right now I'm so happy to be working 
and actually earning properly. But I get things are probably different there... 

Never say never! Change might just be a corner away if you keep your eyes open. Hard times always 
feel like they last forever, but... nothing lasts forever ^^ Besides it doesn't have to be a HUGE change all at once
- good things often come little by little. And I say good thing to start with would be starting to talk more kindly to yourself. 

Understantable .. and I'm most probably the worst person on earth to try to understand how you feel as
I've never hated myself ... heck I've rarely even slightly disliked myself. However you trust me when I say
- therapy isn't bullshit - you just need to find the right therapist who you connect with. And it doesn't happen over night, most often it takes years of 
therapy to figure such issues you have out. Also, you feel like you can't change your situation ... but don't believe in therapy...
then who can change your situation?

Trust me I wonder the same at times too... I have lovely friends but finding new ones as an adult
is paaaaaaaain.... I sometimes wish I was back at school (other than working there!) to have people around me to befriend with... 
That's good now stick to those people and give them a chance to get to know you! I'm sure they're good folks. 

I'm actually at work now. I have an hour between classes (I'm a teacher if you didn't guess it already)
so I'm spending it with preparing stuff and replying messages here. I've had lovely week thank you very much!

I'm currently living in Poland, but I'm Greek-British.

eh, I'm not even sure I'm gonna go to uni. like I'm interested in a Classics major, fine arts major, philosophy major and a French/Ancient Greek/Latin major and just I can't decide which one I want to go too?? plus I'm too stupid to even get into an actual uni so what am I thinking about lmao. also like, I'm definitely getting out of this country the moment is of legal age, and just I'm pretty sure it'd take a lot of time to actually get into a uni in London or France or whatever other country I'm planning to move to ^^ from my experience summer jobs aren't that bad, but I've never actually had a full-time job so I can't compare haha!

also this is gonna sound strange, but actually my low self esteem doesn't bother me that much? me constantly talking myself down is a coping mechanism, maybe even a comfort zone. this does sound weird doesn't it, but because o my low self-esteem and low expectations in just prepared for every bad thing, so when something shitty actually happens in like,, not even surprised. this doesn't make sense UGH

also, I'm not really bothered to find the right therapist. like maybe when I'm gonna be older, fine ill get to it. but as I am right now I really hate talking about my feelings, and that what therapy is! ironic isn't it.

 like I stated before I'm just used to everything, I've got accustomed to this slightly shitty situation and I'm alright with that. no ones gonna be changing this situation anytime soon^^

yeah, actually I think it's going pretty good with my friends? idk man I'm not getting my hopes up but it's not the worst.

you're a what??? damn, that's why you're so optimistic. I'm guessing you teach younger kids? but I'm glad your work is going well for you!

Figured so - first I thought you were living at Greece. 
Give it time, you still have years to figure out which one you like the best. Or you can apply to all
and see to which you get in! I loved uni, and highly recommend attending! Best years of one's life! 
You're not stupid - to get into uni only requires hard work and anyone with determination can do that. 
Besides there are plenty of great schools around Europe! 

But you can't honestly think it's an preferable state of mind?
I mean you might fool yourself to think it's okay now - but the long term effects to talking badly to yourself
are not fun! Don't get offended, but the way I see it - accepting such mindset is due to fear of the hard work it would take to 
actually change it and the fear of accepting one's own faults. Because everyone deep down want's to be and feel happy about themselves.

Well I can't force you, though waiting might not be wise. Many of my friends who've gone through similar situation that you
always say they wish they got help sooner before the issues grew bigger. And well, of course you hate talking about your feelings,
it's never fun, but nothing worth having rarely comes without bearing some discomfort first. It's also a skill one can learn - talking about feelings I mean.

..and maybe you're right. but if I feel I'm comfortable in this state of fear, I don't really see why I should bother changing it. I don't really like change. I do know my own faults, but I stopped caring about them too.

Normally I try to not interrupt so much but some teachers are just so rude and annoying I can't help it?? For example my English teacher(I've got perfect grades but she still shouts at me for turning around) or my ex-art teacher(when I was in my anime phase and we were supposed to draw a portrait of ourselves i was the only one she told "it doesn't look like you" even though there were people in my class who drew much worse than me) so sometimes I just can't help it alright.

Well no matter what you should still respect your seniors, no matter how annoying they are...
also teachers are usually annoying only due to how students behave towards them... I mean I'm pretty chill teacher, but if my pupils behave shitty towards me
well they will be treated accordingly... 

Of course there are bad teachers out there too... however they help you learn to be patient and adjust your behavior
because when you get older and start working the asshole might just be your boss and then you Have to behave good no matter how annoyed you are. 
And it's always good way to ask them politely to explain their behavior, mature adult should be able to do that. 

And well... I've had my teacher share of otakus in my class and they always get pissed when I ask them to step out of their comfort zone
and try different style than manga, only wanting them to get better ^^' soo...

if a teacher's gonna be a dick to me and my art, the thing I care about the most, why the actual hell should I respect that teacher? I'm literally nice to every teacher that is nice to me, so if I become rude that's their fault like listen. I know everything in English, I sit with the smartest girl in class, she gets the best grades. every lesson, cuz we're bored we talk a lot but we do not interrupt anyone. but the English teacher still gets annoyed at us like why???? it's hard to explain but since she's a dick I'm not gonna be a saint either, so I talk even louder. and then when I try to explain my behaviour she says I'm talking back like how is that fair????

well what about the bad students? they don't help the teachers learn to be patient, they just get detention and bad grades. so that's unfair don't you think? teachers get a free pass just because they're older but I literally do not care. also, I'm gonna be self-employed so I'm not gonna have a boss.

yeah, explain their behaviour you either get: ''*nervous laughter* *change of topic*'' or ''mind your own business''. it's really different from your perspective since you're a teacher but I've never seen a remotely good teacher that cares more about children's feelings than their grades. (well except my polish teacher but she's also really rude to everyone)

also from my own experience, don't ask them to get out of their comfort zone. they'll get there soon, let them have some more fun. also sorry it took me so long to reply ugh

I always think it's so easy to be nice to those who are nice to us
- but we're truly measured where we need to be nice to those who are not nice to us,
if we can do that, we truly become better people and I think that's worth aiming for! 
It's rewarding to be a saint. 

Oh they do teach us patience rest assured...but here comes the point
"respect your seniors" teacher is an authority so the pupils should show respect in any case
and they are no in a position to tell teachers how stuff should go because... they are kids... 
And at least here - teachers truly care about their pupils and do pretty much everything for their well-being
- still we don't get treated with respects I personally think we fully deserve... is that fair then?
Is it fair that I get tonloads of shit thrown at me by pupils whom I only want best for? Nope, not fair... 
because they think the way you do...

Oh ooooh I love the Barbie Nutcracker movie too!! It's also one of my "to watch every Christmas" -movies even before I found out about this movie, so I totally understand how you feel!
I love them both now, but this one's characters just happened to resemble mine so much I had to draw this >u<

I was going to try to make this piece look like straight out from the movie, but then I painted the background and the piece sort of grabbed me away and I ended up shading it fully
without outlines :3 it was a bit of an experiment but I'm happy you like the outcome! Thank you so much for taking time to comment!

Those two are mine :3 very cute pair and Rody resembles the Nutcracker Prince quite much... 

Ah I too am so happy to find other fans! Since this is one of my top fave Christmas movies
I'm sure to hype about it every year XD

I aimed this pic to look like straight out from the movie, but I was a little sidetracked along the way and it turned out more painterly and the shading on the characters more sharp-edged than intended - but I'm happy the feeling still remains. The characters themselves are of my design, but their oufits naturally from the movie. 

Ah the old way of escaping drawing hands - hide them Hehe, this was an old sketch and should I redo it I'd probably make a completely different pose, but as it is I didn't have much ideas on how to make it better since I wasn't going to change the poses themselves. I'd say her had that goes behind his back would look better places on his shoulder or something - now I don't know where it's going.

Honestly - I don't know what the orange stuff is either XD I too supposed it's cake frosting, or honey or something like that, but as said no clue and I figured since
the background is not the main focus I didn't need to refine it further.

Ahh man I love that scene! Totally honored to be even remotely linked to that when it comes to art style! 
I had something completely different in mind for this piece when it comes to coloring, but then things got out of hand and I went crazy experimenting...
