I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and seriously hope the pain will not bother you forever, although I know how is it to loose someone that's really close to you and not just "that one Joe you knew", but anyway apart from that 2015 is not over and there is a chance that all the bad things that happened so far can be dilluted or even overhelmed by good news. Improbable, but not impossible.
From 2012 till this day I get through a lot of stress and nerves and when it looks like it may have come to an end, well more and more ♥♥♥♥ happens.
I've gotten sick more than TWICE this year and I rarely ever get sick.
Well I know how it is to be sick and frankly I wouldn't wish even the common cold, it's not just pain, coughing and swallowing ♥♥♥♥ of pills, but hey if you get past it, it means your immune system (with or without help of medicine) backed you up pretty well and may be adapting to be stronger of the next possible cold. After a nasty cold I've learnt to drink hot teas, which doesn't necessary make you healthier, but makes you calmer in some situations, I'd recommend you try that personally.
Middle School is what you expect, except school is literally stereotypical school. (Idiots everywhere, mean people, bland teachers except for those two you like, I could go on for hours.)
On a somewhat pessimistic note, it can be worse, but carpe diem, from now on it can't be as least worse than that. I too lost several dreams and passions in the school, learning foreign language and maths are one of them after the teachers ruined that one for me, but instead I learnt to love the ones I used to hate. Physics and chemestry for example. Till last year I hated those deeply, but the reason was because I didn't understood them due to poor teaching. Once I got some actually devouted teachers, I now see no struggle learning them and it makes me feel better that I understood. Unlike the popular belief, I come to the conclusion that school does indeed help you dicover your vocations and passions, either by making you love certain courses, either by making you hate the others besides that certain one.
Unfortunatelly with idiots isn't something you can deal with. I have a bunch of stories to share about one particular ♥♥♥♥ in my class, but nothing much I can do with him, I just boycott him. He gets on my nerves and I want to punch him so bad, but maintaining contact minimum eases the nerves a bit.
The first couple of months were bland. Nothing of substance happened whatsoever. Maybe I made a few levels? I can't recall.
Heh, heh, obligatory note about how I hardly care about making levels, but that's a part of creativity and that means you lack it right now. Don't beat yourself for it, it can take time to refill. For instance I had a lot of story ideas in the last period, but once they got written in MS Word, I either deleted them because they where ♥♥♥♥ either "put on wait" and forgot about them. Now all the ideas that floated around are mixing togheter, so instead of 10 ♥♥♥♥ stories, I can make 1 better one. Give it time.
And this is just the stuff going on with me, all the stuff in the news about people getting killed and terrorists and other crazy stuff like that.
Aaah, yes, well as stated by other users, media focuses on the bad stuff, simply because people find them more interesting. Unfortunatelly I'm one of that people, because bad news, unpopular opinions and so on make great debate material for later, and one of my satisfaction is to argue with others irl. There are a lot of good things that happen too, you just have to search for it.
