My moods are suddenly being dictated by communication with a certain human. Read More »

My grandfather’s senses didn’t work; his mind was gone and it was just his body there. The nurse said to keep talking to him anyway. Read More »

I never believe people when they compliment me. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just take in what they’re saying and be happy about it? Read More »
Oh, Katherine, I’m so sorry. I send my love your way.
Log in to replyNaomi- The last paragraph and sentence were great.
I have had that happen to me, too. It’s not pleasant.
Log in to replyAw Katherine, much love from me. Hope you make it through alright.
Britney, I sometimes feel that compliments make me more self conscious? I absolutely hate showing people my writing. If it’s not good enough for me, I ain’t showing to anyone. (Life as a perfectionist)
Log in to replyI’m so sorry, Katherine.
Log in to replyOh Katherine, I’m sorry for your loss. A week from now it’s a year my grandfather died. The last time I saw him he was kind of delirious because of the medicine, and he kept saying that the hospital room was full of black man (like shadows I guess) and he was very disturbed and my mom just kept saying “don’t look at them, look at your granddaughter. Isn’t she beautiful?”. It was a pretty moment. I love my grandpa.
Log in to replyKatherine… I don’t know what to say. My papa passed away in september. It doesn’t stop being difficult. It sneaks up on you. Even when you think you’re fine. I’m sure you already noticed, but, that’s just what I’ve observed. Also, I wish I had accepted the comfort/ifyouneedanythingwe’rerighthere from my friends while it was being offered.
<3 <3 <3 <3
Log in to replyI’m so very sorry for your loss :( I also lost my grandpa, about a year ago. His pacemaker was messing up and they gave him open heart surgery to replace it, but he passed. Though I wasn’t very close to him, I miss him every day and have so many regrets. (I don’t have any grandparents left) so I understand exactly how you feel. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Log in to replySo sorry Katherine <3
Log in to replySo Sorry, Katherine!
Losing your grandfather must be devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Also, Britney that’s been happening to me since I started high school (last year. Geeez.) it’s hard to tell when people genuinely mean what they say (and most of the time they do) so it’s just sad. And awkward. Blah.
Log in to replyKatherine… I’m really sorry for your loss. I remember when my grandmother died… we knew it was coming, but it was really, really awful anyway… I was thirteen, and we were really close. It was really hard… But don’t forget that we’re all here for you. <3
Britney… I am exactly the same way… I always deny it when people say nice things about me and I hate it… but I can't help it. I just don't believe them. One of my best friends pointed it out to me the other day… she said, "it makes you seem like you're fishing for compliments… and it also seems rude sometimes." It was a big wakeup call for me… I really need to stop. I'm trying.
Log in to replyRuby, your band sounds great!
Log in to replyI’m so sorry for your loss, Katherine.
Log in to replyI love you all. You can each make it through this. Also <3 the Weepies reference in the subheading (or at least I think it's a reference. You should all listen to the song anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sa2HoXpsE).
Log in to replyI’m so so so so sorry Katherine!! i can’t even imagine my grandpa dying , it makes me choke up just thinking about it. sending love your way <3 <3 <3
Log in to replyNaomi, when I read your entry I kind of got a fright. It was like I was reading my own diary. I know so completely how you feel and it is kind of scary.
Log in to replyKatherine – My thoughts and love are with you, and everyone else experiencing this kind of loss. Remember, the darkest hour is the best time to see the stars. Your grandfather’s love will stay with you for the rest of your life, even if his body doesn’t follow.
Log in to replyAw Katherine- I’m so sorry <3
Log in to replyBritney, dear god we get into fights with my best friend almost daily, because nether of us believes the compliments other gives.
Yesterday I got mad at her when she told me I looked good in shorts after I said I didn’t.
And few days ago she got mad at me because I told her that she sang well.
idk man something must be wrong with us.
And Katherine, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother few years ago and all I can tell you is that it really gets better.
Log in to replySo sorry Katherine xxx
ps:/ How come it credits Ruby A instead of Ruby B as a diarist now?
Love,

Because a certain editor didn’t get enough sleep this week. Thanks for catching that!
Log in to replyThis is late, sorry, catching up with Rookie on break, but Britney I totally get what you’re saying about the compliments making you feel worse. I actually told my mom that she just has to stop complimenting me because it makes me feel like I have to explain to her why what she said isn’t true which makes me feel worse about myself… (she obviously didn’t stop though.)
Log in to replyI’m so sorry, Katherine.
