Yeah I didn’t know I was going for walk it was a last minute decision. ThanksAhh.. yeah I've done that too many times, walking with not dressing feet properly. Or just new shoes ugh. Take care though!
We only exchanged a couple of comments, there wasn't even time to start any flames. I even made the effort of putting my answer in a spoiler to avoid any conflicts with someone reading it accidentaly, since I know there are very sensitive people around.
I know this one from my past. Please don't pressure yourself to give any sort of relationship a chance, if the feelings are not there. You probably need some serious time just for yourself before coming to terms with and getting a handle on dealing with your trauma and before you can realistically benefit from being in a relationship.
Yet it got ruined by the stupid comment of a stupid kid.
I was so incredibly happy! Today we had the introduction ceremony. And just when I was leaving the lecture hall, along with all the other students, our syllabus clearly visible in our hands... this one kid waiting in the hallway looked at me and frowned, and said: I felt very hurt.
Today was supposed to be one of the happiest day of my life
I'm older than most people in this forums. One of the few regrets in my life is that I was never able to go to college, despite how much I wished to. I had it easy, actually: the thing I wanted to study was in my own town local university, so I didn't need to move away; it was even within walk-able distance! Yet circumstances at home were never good. So year after year, I studied minor things and looked for jobs, trying at least to pay my part of the bills and not be a dead weight to my family.
But this year several major things happened in my life, and for the first time after 15 years wishing for it since I finished high school, things were looking good and favorable. This September I tried to enroll... and I got in!
"Yo, granny. Are you lost? Shouldn't you be at home knitting jumpers?"
I didn't bother to answer him and just walked away, but I was on the verge of tears. Not for calling me old, which I couldn't care less, but because it made me feel ridiculous for holding onto this one wish for 15 years. It made me feel as if I didn't have the right to keep studying just because my due time was gone
Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm probably one of the more older members too, I'll be 34 in 10 days, and I attended college out of high-school, but never finished. It's been 15 years since I graduated high-school, and I even went BACK to college to finish, but still didn't get to, because life. People can be real a******s. I know it's easier said than done, but just ignore them and try not to let it get to you. Or try to come up with a nice retort, like, "Yeah, I should be, someone told me you needed one." I don't know, anything to catch them off guard.Today was supposed to be one of the happiest day of my life
