Due to a lot of crap going on in my life, I feel I there is no way I could possibly give good advice right now. My head is purely blank, with no answers, but only questions to problems I need to solve in my life. No matter what happens I will rise above the situation, because that’s how I operate. At a very young age, I have learned that life is not easy, and the only way you are going to get where you need to be is with hard work and perseverance. I have never given up in times of harshness, and neither should you.
While the love of my life was helping me move out of my house yesterday, he couldn’t get over the fact that I was cheery. He felt that it was more appropriate to be glum and depressed, but I find no need for that.
Life is grand, and the way I look at it, I am not dead; I am pretty much healthy, and I have people who love me. This is why I try to stay as bright and cheery as I can because I feel I have no right to wish death upon myself or want to give up and squander the chances God gave me.
So if you ever find yourself in a hard situation that makes you feel overwhelmed, think of it this way: it only makes you stronger. Always try to find humor in what is going on, and look for the silver lining. The best advice I could ever give you is what my grandma passed down to me: “Life is what you make it.”
Just work hard and try not to step on other people’s toes while getting there, and like I will be, you will be complete also.
I promise this is not the last you have heard from me.
Much love,
Dee Dee
Dear Dee Dee,
This is in response to your recent article from one “hopeful homosexual.” I mean no anger towards you for your opinions. If I come off that way, I do apologize.
I am sick and tired of people acting like their life is hard because they are gay, especially when it is coming from a middle/high school student. They haven’t experienced half of what life has to offer yet. It has suddenly become trendy or “cool” to be bisexual. I say that not out of anger towards bi’s in particularbut anger towards society for making/allowing a 15 year-old to even concentrate on sex at all.
Why do they feel the need to run around telling everyone what orientation they are? I know very few straight people who have to run around screaming “I love the opposite sex!” at the top of their lungs (they do exist, however, and are just as annoying).
I have had a few gay friends, some of which have turned gay since I met them. I myself have been thought of as gay by many peopIe my whole life.I don’t really give a flying crap. It doesn’t matter to me if you want to have sex with platipi, but I don’t need to hear about it the same as you don’t need to hear about who or what I want to have sex with.
Stop acting like everything in the world revolves around sex and/or your sexual orientation. There are much more important and enjoyable things in life. Try doing something without thinking about what you want to have sex with for just five minutes. You may enjoy it.
