Rant/Potential Trigger Warnings
I also sound slightly insane

Anyways... I've had a, ah, very bad thought lately. I think you can infer what it is, but I don't want to type it because I'm afraid it will hit me again. I've just tried not to think about it at all, but it's really only a temporary solution. I can't ignore it forever.
I'm not depressed (at least, I think so) and I have no other self-harm intentions. It's not because my life is that terrible or the reasons you might think are normally behind thoughts like this. It's kind of a childish reason, actually.
The ideas that lead up to this have been there as long as I can remember. It's hard to explain, but I'll... never be satisfied with this life. It seems to me that everyone I ask is fine as they are, there's no one I can relate to. It's almost like wanderlust, but more than that. The world is huge, yes, but seeing all of it, even if I could in one lifetime, wouldn't be enough. I want to do something, or change something. Aasdfklj that's not a good enough explanation. I mean, ending world hunger would be great, but it's not really that.
I've never really been able to pinpoint what I'm missing. Having a purpose? Maybe that's it. But I'd trade the galaxy to live in, heck, even the Pokemon world (yes, that sounds stupid and I know), even though there isn't even really a 'purpose' there. I could say that... I want to do things no one else has ever done, or see places no one has ever seen, but that's really only part of it. You know what, this is impossible to explain so let's skip that.
Sometimes, I wonder if I was supposed to be the main character in a grand story of adventure, but the writer decided not to finish it. The world goes on. You live just to die. I don't want to end up like everyone else. Maybe this is why I love RPing fantasy and action, because life is so much more interesting and I can pretend mine is just as much as theirs...
Anyways, yeah. Maybe I think that if I... skip this existence, I'll re-roll the universe and end up in a world where there are more possibilities. Or maybe whatever happens later will be less monotonous. Who knows?
The thought I've been having is less "I just want to end this misery" and more like "This is unsatisfactory, next", if you get the idea. So, uh, yeah. But I'll never work up the courage to do anything, and I never will, not when there are so many things, however petty, holding me back.
It's not like I'm thinking this all the time now. It's only been once or twice in recent times, but when it happened, even for a few seconds, I was terrified that I was even considering it. It's not like I've given up on the world or anything yet. I just... don't know anymore.

Sooo there's that and here's another but it'll sound weird because I can't focus but it also has trigger-y things?
Hi! I'm Lark! Child abuse!
Yeah okay so that's out. Um, it's not as bad as it used to be (haven't been hit with the very painful thing to be hit with for awhile) and definitely not as bad as a lot of other people and I'm not depressed or anything, but uh it kind of sucks.
They care, they really do. But it's a constant cycle of screaming and forgiveness and stupid Lark can't hold a grudge to save their life. And I hate that every time I hear raised voices, I get a sick feeling in my stomach and I just want to hide somewhere they can't see me and proceed to scream at me for breathing wrong.
It could be better, it could be worse. Once my friends and I were contemplating the universe something like "What if you got to roll a die, before you were born, and the result would determine how good your life would be?" They said they probably would've 'rolled' a 5 or 6. I said 4 and they looked at me, very confused.
On good days it's just as if I have as good as a home life as any of them, and I'm happy. But then someone says something (or something happens) to upset her and boom, there goes the careful balance. I used to take after her, even up to 5th or 6th grade. I would get upset almost on a whim and scream at my friends whenever something happened that I wasn't happy about, and usually make them cry.
I realized somewhat recently that that's not how normal people usually do things. And I don't want to end up like her. At this point in time I'd probably tell future me not to have any kids because I don't want to accidentally treat them the same way I'm being treated right now. Sure, it doesn't seem to be having any effect on me other than general rebelliousness and such, but I can't say it won't be the same for anyone else.

So yeah that's it I guess
Uh I'm sure I had more to say but I forgot

Both. I'm not allergic and do not care XD
I don't think any of our venomous snakes are endangered... but I haven't looked it up, either. Could be a precaution, to prevent endangerment.

Feel free to... I mean, if you know where my freezer is and all XD which would be... concerning

It's good to be seen that way by other people sometimes, too. like when you're in a play or something, people don't see YOU, they see the character you're playing as :T
All you need is practice :T I didn't start figuring out basic drawing... things... until I was in ninth grade, and I was decent-ish by mid-eleventh (still working on digital art tho :/ slowly getting there) and I mean... I made a sock monkey once... for my sister... and it wasn't that hard... so maybe you could sew? with practice? i dunno X3
I... i wear jeans... and a t-shirt... and a jacket usually... I'm not BAD, just not fashion-forward

I mean, it's not unhealthy, AND it's good, I don't see a problem X3

',:/ WELL
I do gamble... not as a dolphin... I'm not THAT exciting
but it's always virtual and with no real-world consequences

Interesting dreams are... better than boring ones? XD

I thought I was too scared to, too u-u I learned about two years ago that I wasn't, and at some point, you may get desperate, and I can't sit back and do nothing and just... let that happen. So here, basically a human robot trying to express some kind of emotion
There are people that care
There are people that look up to you
Even if you don't see it and they're not close by...
I'm not sure I'd have much reason to come back online if it weren't for you. I'd just kinda fall into a monotony of having nothing to do but work my rear end off.
I've lived my life. My moment came and went. It's worth the wait, no matter how long it takes, and if you have a few rough spots, you have this community, a community of nerds you started. We have your back
Maybe that's why you write. You write where you'd rather be, or maybe where you have to be. Maybe with practice, you can share that with others who don't have a knack for writing and creativity but the same need. Who knows.

cps

you could come over, we have legos and... and hot chocolate... a-and I can show you my dad's old stuff, like three consoles and dnd dice and stuff he wrote, and, uh, my consoles and I could beat you at mariokart :D My sister's no fun... plus I could pat you on the back and try to be reassuring and it would be five trillion times as awkward in person
And like we have a lot of birds and unlimited data and um... not a lot of money, but we're alright (it might get my female legal guardian to stop wasting food money on freaking pajamas -n- )

I'm not going to do either for the same reason, and I'm having no regrets at the moment
I've had dreams where I ran away from home and I felt overwhelmingly guilty when I woke up. I don't want to do that, not when they do care, I don't want to be responsible for more tears other than my own. I already hate seeing them cry when they find out my brother watches YouTube when he's not supposed to be doing so
And it would also kind of suck because I wouldn't get to play video games
I'll just quietly wait till I can move out and distance myself without letting them know I am

You matter, too.
It's hard, and I know it feels like a terrible thing to do, but if you're the only one bending, eventually you'll break.
That's not how relationships work, no matter what kind it is. Everyone's gotta pitch in. Stand your ground a little more.
It hurts at first, for everyone. But in the end, everyone's happier and can coexist more easily.
I get it if you don't trust or believe me. I mean, I'm an interwebs stranger who clearly has no life outside 60 fps kart racing games ',:/ And beyond that, I don't have the mental capacity to comprehend how people feel, no matter how hard I try.
Being 'removed' from the innate emotional view of things, I just don't see the hurt, I don't see any of what's happening in your head. All I see is you're struggling, and a constellation of pixels on a glowing screen is the best I have to offer, so I hope you get enough out of it to improve things... for yourself, and the people around you.

I'll consider it, if that helps, but it's not the way you're probably thinking.
I don't want people believing the only reason I'm not doing so is because I'm scared of retaliation or because I've been forced into thinking it will be bad. I'm also not doing it because of the reasons normal people would not do it.
And also the fact that there are other better ways to get it over with, even if it's not as quick, but it would have a lot less risk for me.
But thanks for understanding, really

Howdy, gamer pinglist :D
I HAVE ARRIVED!
AND guess what~

I DID MAAAAAAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC TwT

Okay, okay... so I was playing the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (botw) and I realized... I had 7 multi-shot bows X3 which meeeeeeeaaaans I overloaded my menu and gave all my weapons the durability of my durability-boosted Biggoron Sword TTwTT AAAAAAND when I run out of arrows, I go to a torch in the Lost Woods and just indefinitely spawn arrows, until my Savage Lynel Bow comes close to breaking, at which point I 'repair' it using menu overloading and giving it the durability of my other durability-up savage lynel bow @w@

But that's not all, guys. GUYS. ENDLESS MONEY.
I had like... 1,000-ish rupees (money) which is... not enough. SO, I used menu overloading AGAIN, and I made it so, even though the game thought I was holding this one type of weapon, I was actually holding a different type... then I talked to this lady, and she was like, "Oh you have a weapon I want, take these things that serve no purpose other than to net you cash" and I was like "sure" but SIKE! I wasn't holding what she wanted, but a different weapon. The game's like, "Ah, er, we can't give her that, I guess they keep... the weapon...???" And I'm like "yes game... that's right....." and I just talk to this lady, she keeps giving me rocks, this goes on for like 20 mins, THEN... I sell them. BUT WAIT...! Then I have like 64,000 sumthin rupees TwT EXREME STONKS

BUT-BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! Airplane.
I made an airplane.
First time, Ganon interrupted with one of his dang blood moons, so I went and killed him a fifth time for kicks. BUT I got it to work (sorta) the next few times :D so that was fun.

I tried to do the Fosbury Flop, didn't work so well, but I checked a YouTube video and figured out I was going too slow on the jump, so hopefully next time I can yeet link into the air.

But... they patched the Lizalfos Curse T-T I can never have a floating horse now....

Wait...
...
...
Did I...
No, wait...
Did you...?
No no no...
'Understanding' is, like, a normal thing, right?
I actually conveyed understanding?!!?!?!
0-0 ^w^ I did it
I finally conveyed a normal human emotion closely related to sympathy :D
I might be able to hold a stable relationship
I might not die alone
I MIGHT HAVE A STEADY JOB SOMEDAY
*ahem*

please Lark... don't do anything stupid... and take care of yourself. If not for yourself, then for your poor organs that work so hard every day to keep you running, even when your brain gets you down. And also... people would miss you u-u people... and dogs. Many people and possibly a doggo or two would be very sad....
crap nuggets this whole 'understanding' thing is going to my head 0-o sorry if I sound like an idiot

They looked like Brett and Eddy, but I also somehow knew it was them (if that makes any sense).
~~~
Usually my reason for thinking that is that there's no point in my existence, so why not just move on. Less of 'this life is unsatisfactory, what's the point?' and more of 'I'm too unsatisfactory in this life to really do anything.'
I feel like the laws of physics in this world are holding everyone back. For example, in this world, it's impossible for a Pokemon to fit into a Pokeball, because it's going to turn into a black hole or some crap like that. But in the Pokemon world, there aren't any of those types of restrictions, and there are so many new things. Some people don't care; they don't dream for any more than they already have. But other people do.
I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your meaning, but is it that you want to be somewhere where's more change, where everything isn't just basically another version of everything else? Where possibilities are endless and you could do anything, without anything (e.g., physics, gravity, etc) holding you back? I don't know; I cannot read minds. That's just what I think...
But if you consider doing... that... again, maybe try thinking about all the things that you like about this life. Don't think about how things could've turned out, focus on working with the things you already have. Think about the people, both online and irl, who'd miss you, and who'd mourn you if you do that.

Perhaps, when things aren't going that well, try flipping them around, and seeing them from the other person's perspective. Maybe think about what's driving them to do it.
Or, take advantage of things, and use them as stepping stones. For example, if your parents are yelling at you, turn whatever emotions that you feel into determination to prove yourself to them (oh geez, that sounds so bad, sorry).
That's pretty much how my mom is as well. She can upset anyone, and no one should react, but if anyone upsets her, she starts yelling. Not even my dad bothers to try to tell her to not do that anymore. But, anyways, stand your ground, and take control of your own future and personality.
You can be anyone you want to be, and nobody can change that.
