I don't know what happened

I usually don't post much about my personal life, but I genuinely have nobody to talk to.

Lately, I feel like I've really let myself go. I've allowed the world to influence me into making decisions I know I shouldn't be making. I'm lusting again. I'm smoking. I'm watching things I shouldn't be watching. I'm cursing again, which is something I usually don't do, and I'm even starting to curse at people. I'm also starting to show off my body more because I want the wrong kind of attention.

I genuinely feel so lost. I haven't read my Bible in months. I'm doing things I've never done before, and I feel completely overwhelmed.

I truly feel like God won't accept me back into His arms, even though I know that's what He says He will do. I feel like I don't deserve to talk to Him. I feel like I don't deserve His love.

I just feel so lonely, and I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. I have nobody to talk to, and I feel like I'm completely lost.

What are some things I can do?

Hey guys, I'm newly 18 years old, and I just wanted to ask you what are some things I can do now that I am 18.

I know that I can:

  1. Open up a bank account in my name

  2. Go to appointments by myself

  3. Get tattoos and piercings

But what else can I do? I feel like I'm not using being 18 to my full potential. Wondering if you guys can give me some ideas or some fun activities I can do that I couldn't do when I was 17.

Thanks!!!!

Favorite movie

Hey y'all! I'm trying to find some new movies to watch and thought I'd ask for some recommendations.

Right now, my favorites are pretty much any of the older Barbie movies, from the very first one and on. The newer ones just aren't really all that to me. Another favorite of mine is Bee Movie. I know basically everything that happens in that movie, and I've probably watched it over 100 times.

I currently have 52 movies on my list, but they're all movies I've already seen, so it's mostly just a rewatch list.

What's a movie you think everyone should watch at least once, and what makes it so good?

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations!!!!!!

Just trying to see if anyone has some good news about really anything, so I’ll go first.

One good thing is that I still have the job I applied for last June, and next month will make a whole year of me working there. I’ve never held down a job that long, so I’m really proud of myself.

Another thing is that I’m starting to feel a little better about my body. I’m a heavier-set person, and I used to speak badly about myself all the time, but now I’m beginning to see the beauty in myself.

The last thing is that I’m also learning to embrace my weirdness. I used to try so hard to be like everyone else until I realized that being like everyone else is boring, and I should feel comfortable being who I am.

What about you guys? Share good things that have happened to you this year or in general
