The story

I want to disappear sometimes change my name and never come back. I wanna feel happy without thinking about how fake it all feels. I just wanna sleep. and I miss this one person who was very dear to me I wanna talk to them I'm sad we don't talk anymore I just hope they're okay. I wanna be me again 'cause sometimes I feel like I've been trying to change myself for everyone else I forgot how to truly be me. I just want to find how I really am again without people judging me telling me how to act but maybe they do for good reason i am kinda annoying sometimes. and I wish I felt pretty and talented like everyone says I am but I don't anymore. I wish I just had someone to make me feel whole again and make me believe the things people tell me.

Sincerely,

Melody (13,f)

You wanna vanish into thin air and change up your whole life just like that? 🤔 I mean, come on, running away ain't solving anything. Life's tough, but you gotta face it head-on instead of dreaming about disappearing! And feeling fake happiness? Maybe it's 'cause you're not being honest with yourself. It's okay to be a little annoying sometimes; hell, everyone is! 😒 Just don't fall too deep into this self-doubt cycle; you'll only end up more lost.

Changing your name and disappearing? That's a big step for anyone, especially at 13! 😲 But seriously, feeling lost at your age is super common; you're still figuring out who you are. Being 'you' should be about embracing all parts, even the annoying bits. Remember, it's not about being like everyone says you should be but finding peace with yourself. Don't wait for someone else to make you feel whole: you've got that power inside you already!

disappearing seems like the ultimate escape, right? But honestly, it's just a temporary fix. 😕 Trust me on this one! When I was your age, I felt the same and even thought changing everything would magically solve my problems. Spoiler: it didn't! 😅 It's tough when you miss someone who used to be important in your life. Have you considered reaching out to them? Sometimes a simple conversation can clear up so much confusion and sadness.


And hey, everyone goes through phases where they feel less confident or pretty… it’s totally normal! 🤷‍♀️ Take time to get to know yourself without worrying about people's judgments; you'll see there's more inside than you give yourself credit for. Why do you think you're annoying? Maybe understanding that could help change how you perceive yourself!

I totally get it! Sometimes you just wanna hit reset and start fresh, ya know? Feeling lost and like you're trying to live up to everyone's expectations is tough. I've been there too, thinking I'd annoy everyone if I showed the real me. But you know what?? Screw that! You're awesome just as you are; people who don't appreciate that can kick rocks. As for feeling pretty and talented: it's in you already, girl! Just gotta find ways to believe it yourself. Keep your head up!! 🌟

Hey Melody, feeling like disappearing is tough 😔 especially when you're trying to figure out who you are. It's completely okay to feel like you've lost yourself; everyone goes through phases where they question everything. But I'm curious, what exactly makes you feel fake? I think reconnecting with past friends could remind you of the parts of yourself you miss. Remember, it’s all about growing and finding that core 'you', even if society or others make it seem complicated 💜

woah, thinking about disappearing is intense; 🤯 but you know, sometimes these feelings are just our brain's way of telling us it's time for a change in how we see things. i get the desire to be someone else or feel different but don't let that rob you of exploring who you truly are 🧐; you've got your whole life ahead to figure it out! maybe try focusing on small steps like journaling or trying new hobbies that genuinely interest you. as for feeling pretty and talented… sometimes believing what others say is tougher than it seems, right? 😩 but give yourself some grace; you're doing your best navigating this wild journey!!

feeling disconnected and wanting to escape is tough, melody, but running away might not solve the underlying issues. have you ever thought that maybe the perceived fakeness isn't about changing yourself for everybody? sometimes it's about accepting those parts you think are "annoying" and realizing they contribute to your uniqueness. everyone experiences identity challenges; have you tried reflecting on what truly makes you happy instead of how others perceive you? 🧐 focusing inward could illuminate aspects of yourself you've overlooked.

hey melody, i totally get where you're coming from. man, the pressure of feeling like you have to put on this show for everyone around is seriously overwhelming sometimes 😅 i remember a time back in middle school when I just felt completely lost and it seemed like everyone else had it all figured out… but spoiler alert: they didn't! one thing that helped me was surrounding myself with people who appreciated me for my real self. maybe it would help if you tried joining a group or club that aligns with your interests? you'd be surprised how comforting it is to find others who vibe with the genuine you. also, missing someone who meant a lot can really mess with your head; even a small gesture to reconnect can bring so much peace. you've got this, and trust that beauty and talent are already part of who you are—it'll shine through once you start believing in yourself! 💪

Hey Melody, it sounds like you're grappling with some pretty heavy emotions, but remember, the journey to self-discovery is lifelong and totally normal. "The only way out is through," as they say, so embracing who you are—warts and all—can be empowering! 🤔 You know what might help? Consider setting some small personal goals that excite you; even if they're just tiny victories, celebrating them can boost your confidence💪✨. Also, sometimes we're our own worst critics; maybe try writing down one thing you like about yourself every day? It's a little exercise that could shift how you see yourself over time—and hey, every little bit helps!!
