From the progress earth is making in maintaining global warming and making sure it’s at a sustainable level, I don’t see any hope in society helping stop or dilatory global warming anytime soon. We’ve already seen absurd temperatures in certain states, from reaching degrees of 110 to even melting parts of cars due to the radiation of the sun.

It shocks me but at the same time it doesn't, that we care so much about the richest man on earth going into space when we should be worrying about our planet and working on a solution in stopping global warming and the pollution in the ocean. Because by 2050, it’s reported that there’ll be more plastic in the ocean than there’ll be fish.

But hell, if this is what the world is more concerned about, then yeah, we’re on the verge of humanity going extinct pretty quickly. Space is cool nonetheless.

I see what you mean and I agree. Imagine living in a completely different universe where you don't have to care what the world or other people are taking part in and instead, worrying about yourself. Now, of course, you can do so today but with everything new being reported every day, you sorta have to be involved with what’s occurring around the world. Hard to explain but I get it.

Eh, it’s 2 weeks after you start school but yeah, I’m definitely not looking forward to commencing school and having homework and projects to do again. I’d rather lay on my bed without worrying about school and letting the day go by, not contributing anything to society nor letting anyone enjoin me to do something. However, I do enjoy shopping for school supplies, as weird as that sounds.

All the different notebooks on the shelves with their glamorous patterns, to markers, and pencils surrounding me as I make a last-second decision; it’s pretty much the only exciting thing I love that relates to school.

Ooo, congrats! I would love to get a 5 on my ap scores as well. I haven’t received my ap scores yet but if I remember correctly, my teachers told us we’ll get our ap scores around the last week of July (which is in a few days prior to today). So that should be something daunting I should be expecting considering I paid 0 attention in class this year.

Yupp, I don’t mind it though, after all, getting it month after month, you eventually get used to the small pain inflicted in you followed by a bandage and all that doctor-ish stuff.

It is pretty odd. I try to come up with notable questions that are not cliche and asked frequently like your favorite color, but thinking of such questions takes time lol.

Hmm, therapy. A few people imagine therapy as an awful solution to helping your mental health but I have seen people that go to therapy help them in ways that I couldn’t have ever imagined. Now, therapy isn’t for everyone, and it certainly wouldn’t help everyone that’s going through an appalling time, but it depends on your situation and what therapy can do to narrow-

-the chances of imposing more pain onto yourself. Not to mention, suggest ideas that might help them every day and seeing the better goods in things. Idk, I know a large number of people, including those that have mental health problems through the internet and news that are opposed to the idea of therapy, but it definitely helps others that suggest so.

What is the coolest thing you’ve experienced?

more trash than fish in 2050? holy hell... god, thats terrifying to think about. ive already had enough to think about with sea life choking on pollution and plastic, but having more trash than life? thats awful.

human extinction might not be too bad. i guess the only bad part about it is that i wont be there to see mother earth covering all of her childrens garbage with nature.

i would like to see cities, like chicago or new york, be overrun with greens.

yeah, shopping for school supplies is fun. the bad part is when you start shopping too late, and everything that you needed/wanted is gone. having paper folders and wide ruled notebooks is such a nightmare.

the other downside is also money, considering how i somehow spent over a 100 bucks when trying to buy simple school supplies. how absurd. what a society we live in, am i right? where minors have to worry about not spending too much money on supplies needed and mandatory for school.

therapy? god, i would hate that. i hate telling people about my problems and my thinking process because no one can truly understand. i dont want to sound angsty or anything, but there isnt anyone in the world that can understand anothers pain unless theyve lived the exact same life as that persons doppelganger or something. i also dont want to show others my vulnerable side, including my therapist in question.

i dont know. i feel as though im never free when i go to a therapist. like i dont want to talk about my problems- i just want to feel better. i dont want to accidentally break down while discussing my problems- i just want to be alone. i dislike therapists and doctors. i suppose its because i dont like arrogant people who bug into my stuff.

but, youre right. therapy is a good thing, but just not for everyone.

i really do sound like a dramatic teen when i say things like that, but i hope my attitude is somewhat reasonable.

coolest thing ive ever experienced? well, i have no passions or interests outside of entertainment, so i guess that would be a hard question to answer. ive never really seen anything that interested me to the point where i was in awe or how i wanted that experience to become my dream or whatever.

i guess going to the airport at 5am and experiencing that moody weather is the coolest thing ive experienced because trips like that are certainly a vibe. i know that i didnt even answer your question correctly, but i really dont know what to say. what about you? youre quite the passionate person so you must have something thats interested you to the point of thinking it was your coolest experience ever.

Yeah, it's quite disturbing what the ocean would be like in 3 decades to come. Recycling helps but it doesn't make a huge difference from what I read. 8 million pieces of plastic make their way into the ocean every day; do the math and you have a whopping 5 trillion plastic being dumped into the ocean per year.

I believe human extinction wouldn't be such a terrible idea. It will definitely help mother earth recover and who knows, maybe leave a few people on earth that can assist the world to redeem itself.

New York is a voguish place to travel, depending on what month you go to. I've never been to New York even though it's an hour and a half drive from where-

-I live but I heard good things about it and viewing the streets on google maps lol. Chicago is also an adequate place. Just not a place where I would live but ehh

School supplies are like their own aesthetic to me, but when school rolls around, it isn't much of an adventure from there.
You pay for your own school supplies?
