Failure to launch: BUCKCON Plans · 7:59pm Jan 17th, 2016
....my BFF has decided not to go, says it's too much hassle with the money side atm for her.
I'm starting to wonder about it myself. Getting to Manchester is looking more and more convoluted...the train tickets alone will be about £130 now if the train sites are accurate.
But there's also hotels. I'd love to go to one of the UKs biggest conventions...but if the cost rises much more, I...*sighs* I don't have a job, OK? I'm stuck reliant on a mix of inherited money from my aunt, and some state benefits here in the UK, awarded under the disabled persons laws. So yeah, it's a shitty situation. I don't have cash out the wazoo as the term goes.
I wanna go but...chances seem remote. It sucks, I wanted to meet a friend up there but now it seems like giving up is all I have. I can expect no help from family, they don't have much faith in me at all.
So....I should just give up hope now, save myself from the damage that'll ensue if I keep foolishly hoping.
....it sucks when there's nobody you can turn to. And your own family seriously thinks your too retarded to take care of yourself. I'm gonna go off and cry now, maybe it'll make me feel better. I have work to do and need to get shot of this feeling Asap. Not like I can do anything else, really... I can't work out all this sh*t by myself, and the only person that COULD isn't going now.
If I could help I would, I really would, but... I literally have no money, and I'm not exactly old enough to get a job yet...
But hey, maybe something will happen. I hope you can go!
I can't, but I never have been able to go either
Maybe things will work out. Who knows?
I kinda know how you feel. I really want to go for a lot of things, but I don't have the cash. And no one's gonna give me the money.
Also, I don't believe in retardation being a thing. People thought Einstein was retarded; he developed aome of the very bases of physics. So, what makes you any less human than anyone else?
But look. If you have any problems, talk to me. I've been through a lot of shit, so I can relate to most anything. Just remember that, kay?
And I really do hope something happens so this works out for you.
I'm glad we had a chance to skype last night, hon. I cannot stand idly by when one of my friends is suffering so! You made me feel better just hearing your voice and letting me distract you for a while with my crazy Sombra story ideas. Thanks for your feedback on them. As a fellow Sombra fan, your opinion on them means more than anyone else's!
I know how you feel, I'm also autistic. I don't usually tell people, I don't want them to think I'm a freak, or to think I'm just looking for attention. But hearing your pain, I feel I can tell you.
I know how it goes with people not thinking that you can function without their supervision. I feel it almost every day. It helps to get it out by reading FimFictions, or playing games, which of course makes me super behind on all my classes. But, you know how it goes - Emotional heath is far superior to educational. If you need to rant or let off some steam, feel free to hit me with it. I'd be happy to help you out. ^-^
