Situation


   Hello, darling starlings!
    I hope Monday treated you fairly, and if not, Tuesdays are always better!
   I've just signed up for my senior classes for my last year in high school next year.

   I recently got in trouble a week ago for walking to Dairy Queen alone as a man talked to me while I was walking and both my mother and father freaked out so I'm not allowed to walk outside anymore.

   She threatened me with taking away my laptop (specifically breaking it) and after that settled down, we all started talking about the future when she dropped us off at our bus stop.

     It means I'm taking a Dual Enrollment class in the College Center so I have to study harder as an advanced placement student. It means I have to look for a job and spend less time drawing/writing/recording and more time essay writing/driving school/better grades.

     I don't want my mother to spend any more money than she has spent in the past on a car for both my and my younger sister plus driving school.

     I realize that Cafetalia might not be the best choice for me to continue, and the amount of countries in the request list is daunting and I don't think with my busy schedule and looking at my future plans that this'll work out very well.

    I don't want to tell you my boring life story, and I'm sure that you have your troubles too, but my family is on American welfare. We live in a cheap house that has roaches and the wood boards are breaking and it seems like nothing we do makes anything better. My mother has five daughters and I'm second oldest, and my older sister has a two year old son that gets by from money from the dad (who has another baby mama to take care of, by the way).

   I'm not the brightest student in math, so I doubt I'll ever win any scholastic scholarships, but I've been trying to keep my head up and think of ways to make going to college easier.

    I promised my mom and dad that as soon as I have Cafetalia finished, I would begin point commissions so when I turn 18, money won't be a problem for us anymore and I can go to university.

    But now, situations being what they are... I'm just not sure anymore and the anxiety disorder is creaking up the stairs of my mind.

     I'm just going to ask.

     If I started art/fan fiction commissions, will any of you be willing to get one?

     I won't make them crazy expensive, trust me, I hate expensive things, but my mother says I shouldn't sell myself short.

     I'll try to get the commission sheet up for my artwork (since the VASE thing is already done with).
 
    Thank you for listening! It means a lot even if you don't have points to spare or anything. I just wanted to vent out a little.

    Sincerely,

Oh Juli, I'm so sorry I didn't read this earlier!

If I come by employment I'll hope I'll be able to contribute, because your situation is by no means 'boring' or 'unimportant'. It is serious
and you deserve much more than what you have. For all of your kindness and generosity, you are humble.

I'm always here if you need to PM me, and I'm sure there are many others who will say the same. Lovely Shoujo Emoji (Huggy Hug) [V2]
