Oh, Russia. I heard about it last week, and I did a bunch of research, and it left me deeply upset. And, being a minor, I can't donate, and I can't speak Russian, so I can't write a (legible) love-letter (IF I could afford the stamps), so I was pretty disappointed. I'm kind of the kind of person who has kind of a "martyr/messiah" kind of mentality to himself, so I decided to think for a while about it. I asked myself, what can I do, as a minor? My brain kind of tunred inwards, like it does sometimes, and said, your gift isn't one of flesh and blood to Russia; it is a gift of heart to the people in your immediate life. So, that was cool, and quite illuminating.
Additionally, today, I saw a psychiatrist, and the Dr. asked me a bunch of questions (an hours worth), and talked with my parents for like, thirty minutes, and..apparently, I have Aspergers. I still haven't really adjusted, but it does make sense! I don't think emotionally, I'm a technical thinker, I have an obsessive personality, I get social anxiety, am hyper-sensitive to stimuli (specifically, people's...everything xD), and...I'm a picky eater, which, oddly enough, is connected to hyper-sensitivity. I've always thought I was some sort of freak for not being as obviously emotional, but it turns out that yes, that is a bit of an issue, but additionally, that's just not entirely how I function, and I never 'grew' those skills..and...I'm not a sociopath! When you have a neurotic personality, it can be easy to be hung up on that. Anyways, I'm optimistic about that
Okay, new subject: Name some kind of good news. ANYTHING. I don't want to project my happiness on you guys or anything, but still, good news is good to focus on... ^^;
