  • Culinary Schools.

    I'm only in 11th grade, but I have to start thinking about which Culinary school I want to go to, and I really have no idea which one. Do you think it's better to stay in or out of state when you go to college?  I live in New York, but I was kind of thinking that maybe i'd go out of state to perhaps Johnson & Wales in North Carolina.  But now i'm thinking I'd kind of rather stay in state. I mean, there's a helluva lot of good Culinary school instate. Like, The Culinary Institute of America which isn't too far upstate, or The Institute of Culinary Education which is in the city. And since I live on Long Island, like practically one town away from Queens, going to the City might not be that bad. I really want to live in the City when I'm older, too.  God, how I love the City. The ICE didn't seem that expensive either. Well, not as expensive as The CIA or anything.

    What do you think?

  • I didn't go to school today. I made myself so anxious last night that I threw up. Twice. I just hate feeling like this. Sorry my last post was so depressing. Bleh. =/

    My stomach hurts-- anxiety does that to me. I feel like sleeping, but I can't sleep when I'm like this. Thoughts don't go away. I wish they would. I just want to get away. I want to leave my thoughts behind. I want to start over. I wish I wasn't gay. There I said it. I wish I wasn't gay. I wish I were "normal".  I should have never cut my hair. I wish I could be around people who understand how I feel. I just wish this didn't suck so much.

  • You'd think that the people who love you the most wouldn't make you feel like shit. But that's not the case when it comes to my sister. Ever since I cut my hair, every time she sees me, she tells me that I should grow it out again and just criticizes it. Every. Single. Time. In the mean time, people that I barely even know, and my friends, tell me that they like my hair so much better this way.  But she just feels the need to be a bitch to me all the time. Tonight, my whole family was over because we had a cake for my brothers' birthdays, and she felt the need to criticize my hair in front of everyone.  My brother in law kept saying how much he liked it, but she just kept going.  It was obvious that I was getting upset, but she just kept putting me down over and over again. I finally had enough and I just walked out of the room. I couldn't help crying. I hate crying and I rarely ever cry. It makes me feel weak. 

    They just don't realize that I'm going through a hard time right now. I'm trying to find out who I am, and everything in my life feels fucked up constantly. I get depressed easily, I have anxiety, I'm just coming out of the closet. They don't get it. They never will. I feel like shit. I feel like dying. I feel like nothing's going right. I feel like nothing makes sense. I don't even want to live anymore. I hate myself. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. I hope I die.

  • Sometimes, I find it so hard to blog-- not because I don't have the time, and not because I don't feel like writing, but because I find it hard to be alone with my thoughts. Thoughts can be a scary thing, if you let them.  I try not to think. Silly, right? How can you just not think? But, I will do almost anything humanly possible to distract myself from the thoughts that so often cloud my mind. Even right now, I'm trying to find something to preoccupy myself with.  I scare myself. I really scare myself. One day, I feel like all these thoughts will just rush into me and all of these emotions that I try to supress will just come flooding out and I'll do something drastic. I often feel pangs of 'why live anymore?', and these feelings, that I never want to feel, ambush me. I yell at myself, punch myself, think of something quick to take my mind off of these thoughts that I can't control. I feel anxious --my chest hurts, I can't breathe. The thought of 'will I die?' runs through my head. Never ending. And yet, that's the very thing I'm most scared of, but somehow, want the most.

    Death is too complicated of a subject to be able to fathom.  I often stare into space and think of death. It's not death that scares me; just the uncertainty. And that's what it is about life that scares me, too-- the uncertainty.

    I want things to make sense. I want to make sense. But, my thoughts, oh, they rarely make sense.

     

    I don't know what I'm even trying to say. I must sleep. Good night.

  • Thoughts that somewhat plague my mind.

    I'm always thinking.  Sometimes... well, most of the time, I think too much.  But sometimes I wonder -and I know i'm still young- if I'm making the right choices in life.  Sometimes I feel like I do things because I like the idea of it much better than the actual thing.  Take for instance, cooking.  I love the idea of cooking. I love the idea of people loving the food that I make.  Not to toot my own horn, but I am a pretty good cook, and I want to go to Culinary school.  But sometimes I wonder if i'm doing it for myself or because I like how other people view me. As a chef.  I don't know if that makes sense. But am I becoming a chef for my own self? I don't know. Sometimes I feel like i'm just doing it for other people.  I don't know if i'm going to be happy cooking and having no life for the rest of my life. Because, and I don't know if you know this, but Chefs have no life. Working in a restaurant requires countless hours, hard work, dedication, and giving up a lot of personal time. I mean, I want to be a chef, I'm just overthinking things.  I actually just took a personality quiz and I got 'ESFP' which is: http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=4&c=performer  Very interesting stuff, it kind of describes me.

    I was gonna write more about the 'liking the idea of something better than the actual thing' but I don't have time. I must run. Talk to you guys later.
