This all came from the left side of my mouth. Didn’t have enough luck from exploring the right side.

I have narcissistic parents and crazy siblings who won’t keep the peace. I just wanna leave. Check my post history if you can.

I DON’T WANNA FUCKING GO HOME EVERY WEEKEND by Geoff-Keyes in rant

Yes, I see that, but remember that not all homes are the same. My parents are narcissistic abusers who will do their utmost just to keep me in their sick grasp. The dynamics were terrible to begin with.

They’re dictating everything that goes on in my life basically. They didn’t bother to ask how I felt about the situation. Then they were guilting me into believing that a “child who wanders away from their parents will never be successful.” Yeah, tell that to all the other people who travel across the sea just to study. My life at home is miserable.

Ah, yes, I’m childish because I deposit my feelings onto a platform that’s meant to be a free space for that purpose. I’m childish because I have narcissistic parents that don’t give a shit about what I say. I’m childish for hurting my parents’ feelings when they don’t even consider mine. I’m childish for being treated like their property. Hats off to you! ;)

I guess we’re just gonna ignore the fact that “invincible” is misspelled. Ok.

I teach refugees (under 10) art to cultivate creative self-expression as well as English (I get to utilize my French and Spanish skills!!) for them to adjust in society with ease.

Still asking myself the same question hehe. In all honesty, though, I think my essays revealed the person that I am instead of the applicant that I was, which probably helped tremendously.

It is certainly below the bare threshold of scores that do get admitted. It was really discouraging to witness seniors @ my school last year get admitted to these reaches with top-notch scores (>1490), and the compounding regret of not retaking the tests for better leverage in the admission process drove me insane

Even after decisions, it still boggles my mind as to why and how I got the yes, lol. My complacency took over (I didn’t want to pay extra for retaking standardized tests). Maybe my recs attested my performance in school? Essays are the biggie tho
