Good news! I got an electric guitar on Saturday. It's beautiful. I'm learning some songs. I also have tried to pick up on how to perform and write chords for guitars that I came up with. I enjoy writing songs. It helps me focus on something if something is bothering me, though I don't use them as a vent or a journal of sorts. I just write random songs. Though now that I have a guitar I can actually play some of those songs. I don't know if I'll record anything. I'm not the best at this type of stuff, as I literally have no musical knowledge other than like tempos and really basic things. So I don't even think that my songs are well written or anything. But I don't need them to be absolutely number 1 grammy-winning hits, I just need songs that will be suitable to work on when I'm bored. I have written three songs fully. I have two that I'm shuffling back and forth on. I usually write songs that are similar to works by The Weeknd or Artemas, but I started writing a song that's very guitar carried so I can try it out on my new guitar. I think my lyrics are absolute trash, but they'll work to practice on.

My parents said that if I can pass all my classes with A's, they'll help me get an iPhone. Them and I both know that my budget samsung isn't working for our situation. It regularly freezes, has terrible internet connection, takes like three hours to download anything, and the location tracking is so laggy that I can be in my room and will randomly give my mom teh notification I left the house and am three blocks away. I don't expect anything fancy, I know I'll get heavy parental controls and not the newest, bestest phone there is. I am ok with an iPhone 12/13. (C'mon, that was like almost 6 years ago when those came out). But there's one itty-bitty, teensie weensie problem. I have two F's, three C's, and a B and an A. Not exactly the best outlook for me right now. And unfortunately midterms slapped me in the face with cut-offs. Most of those grades are nearly impossible to make up. I'm gonna have to send out a lot of emails. 🤞
