Tenth grade is getting very hard for me, I've got plenty of readings and homework to do and I feel overwhelmed. I'm literally waking up at 5AM everyday, arriving home at 7PM, and then I do school stuff and if I'm lucky enough I go to bed at 9:30PM.

It appears to me that that's a problem that stretches itself through most of people's work life. I often read how much it affects quality of life and health. And the older the author, the more miserable the general tone of the post. I don't understand how so many refuse to accept that that's how it is, but at the same time do accept it every day by continuing without a change. I'm not judging. I knew this many years ago. But I'm still in the same situation. I could be glad that orders and commissions aren't sparse and money not a real issue. But what's that worth if I don't have time left to do something that makes me happy at least occasionally. Oops, I'm making it about myself. What I want to say is, it's good to take this seriously early on. I underestimated how hard it would be to change my life once a lack of rest and free time becomes a problem. I never made it to 10th grade. So I can't exactly relate. But I know how it is when the day doesn't seem to be long enough. It can be very useful for a career or other goals to keep up a stressful life for a while. But I think it is even more useful for general well-being to be aware of the possible future consequences and their possible severity in the moments of making decisions about ones life developments.

As a result I can't spend much time around here, I literally opened my irc client for the first time in two months, that makes me sad because I disappeared and ghosted a lot of people

I'm so used to getting ghosted (In general, not by you. (I don't know you. (Which you already know.) Anyway.)) that I stopped thinking about it. But when I still did, I often thought about how of the so many possible reasonsons why somebody would stop responding, most of them can in no way be construded to be a malevolent choice. Thanks for giving another example. In situations like this, I try to get back to most if not all people, no matter how close or how important recent texts were. Just because I don't know theit thoughts and they might be too unsure to start texting again when it appears that they weren't the one who stopped.
