Fight!

American literature class.
The classroom was dead quiet.
Everyone was hunched over, scribbling away at their papers.
But honestly? I just wasn't feeling it; I was bored out of my mind.
I ended up whispering to my friend sitting right in front of me.
We started having this really nice, chill conversation.
Then, out of nowhere, she just starts picking a fight with me.
So, naturally, I fired back.
And before I knew it, we were in a full-blown argument.
She just turned around and gave me the cold shoulder, totally shutting me out.
Eventually, I just hit my breaking point and asked her what the point even was—like, what does fighting actually achieve? Who does anyone actually feel better after a blowup? It’s just awful... I seriously can't stand fighting with my friends... there is zero payoff.😠 🙄
Why bother arguing? Why do people even get into these fights in the first place?
Why is it that a boyfriend or a best friend will always spark some dumb drama when they know it’s not going to change anything? And why do my parents constantly bicker so loudly that the noise carries right into my room, making it impossible to even focus on my homework?
Why?????? I hate asking that. I hate fighting. I hate everything about it. I'm just so over this whole life thing.😠 😢 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Man, what a beautiful day...😁

Give it a year or two, and you’ll be laughing about all this. 😉

I guess you'll look back and laugh at all this in a year or two. 😉

😁 I was thinking the exact same thing! 👍 Gosh, I wish I could go back to high school just for one day. 😎

🙂 I'm actually pretty close by... though I find myself complaining about wanting to go back too. 😁

Jeffrey Taylor3 said:🙂 I mean, I'm pretty close by... but honestly, I'm also kinda whining about wanting to head back home 😁

Man, looking back at everything, I can't believe how complicated it all seemed to me then... 🙄

Alright, alright, I totally get that in a year or two I’m probably going to look back at this and laugh my head off, but honestly? Right now, it’s not funny at all.😠

WHAT THE HELL!!! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?! ARE WE ACTUALLY GONNA FIGHT OR WHAT?!🙂

John Carter21 said:WHAT THE HECK?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?! WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?!🙂

man, I really gotta see this happen🙂

The feeling is mutual. 👍

Honestly, I’d probably just loop back to when I was four years old... then I'd fast-forward straight through the end of college, and then just start traveling backward again... maybe until I eventually get bored, though I don't think that would ever actually happen.

And then you have the audacity to claim you aren't depressed??!!!

Ivy, I truly understand where you're coming from. I suppose I'm also navigating a pretty deep depression myself lately, and honestly, there are moments when I just find myself hating the entire world.🙂

If we were strangers, I might actually find that sentiment believable, but since I know you...😵 🙂 🙂 🙂

Man, I wish I could just teleport back to third grade and spend my days pulling girls' hair. 🙂
