It feels bad bro
I’m mostly just posting this to scrounge around for cute pet photos, neat things you’ve made, whatever and whatnot. Please just hit me up with things you really enjoy. Like, tell me about a really good movie you watched or a moodboard you made that you think is really pretty and want to brag about. I’m not having a really happy time right now, but I like when other people are happy so I just kind of want to hear about the things that make y’all happy and whatnot.
I love kids so If you got funny stories about you or your own children doing wild things as kids, I’d love to hear those!!
Some eviction and how you managed after stories appreciated too hh a, especially if you’re an America in that sweet 15-17 “knowing bu largely powerless” range.
I’m sure I’m going to be fine but I’m real nervous yknow
Thank you!
Edit: Crisis largely adverted for now at least. My Nana and Papa came through unexpectedly and we'll be able to make rent this month.

I dunno if this will help,but here. *Hugs you*
Everyone's experience is different, and I can't say I know what exactly is going through your head or heart, but I've been there and know how horrible it can feel. 
Just hang in there
Since requested, here's an eviction story
One the 28th of October 2017 me and my family were kicked out of house so the landlord could give it to his daughter instead. We went to the council because they promised to house us, but we ended up being put somewhere where we were officially made homeless. We were shoved into a small room with two beds for one people, but we were thankful we had somewhere.
I met this one girl and her dad who had to share one bed together because they were put into the same situation in an even smaller room.
I think the best way to cope with things like this, at least for me, was distraction. I constantly kept myself away fron the room, away from anyone I thought was hurting me. I stayed in calming areas like parks and green areas, too. It's also nice to confide in people you trust and just...let all the emotions flow. It was better for my mind.
We were homeless for almost a year before we were finally housed properly in one we could call ours again.

And here's a funny story!
When I was 4 we were stuck in traffic in the Highlands of Scotland and I was bored out of my mind. I then decided to blurt out that I wanted to shove a sheep down the mountain since we could see a bunch on the mountain next to us
This provoked a three hour long conversation about pushing sheep's down hills and mountains and wondering what would happen if we did so.

Oof, hope you find a way to deal with that soon.
I don’t have anything useful to share but I’m going to do it anyways.

the bit about eviction...ish
Not the same thing, the situation is drastically different and I honestly don’t remember much of it but here-
Basically got kicked out of the house (with my mom) by stepdad, slept in the car for a few days if I remember correctly, ended up at some friend’s place, had to stay at my dad’s for a while until we somehow managed to rent a place and eventually live there.

general getting kicked out of the house situation
Again, not eviction, but my first reaction after my mother graciously threw empty boxes in front of me and told me to leave the house is to call my friends asap, and after that, to call my father and just move over. The perks of having divorced parents.

hope you aren’t scared of hamsters
My baby, Boss (rough translation but ye). He is my first hamsters, and is the big bro to the three other female hamsters he probably doesn’t even know exist but he is a good big bro regardless.

cute stray cats i saw
I actually have some silly situations to tell:
1.) Mount skin
So it was during the time when I was new to Guild Wars 2. There are events for Halloween and Christmas in the game every year. This one was during Halloween. Now I can't exactly remember how I got this skin, but it was either by collecting Trick or Treat bags or by unlocking Black Lion Chest (basically lootbox) and boy was I surprised - I got a mount skin for griffon and I said "But I don't have it!". So yeah, looking back at it makes me giggle a bit.
2.) Poor duck
Same game. One time while me and my guildies were inside of a dungeon. Guild leader talked about her DnD session, so that campaign she played was about circle of life, sacrifices, stuff like that. And in one part they encountered a duck which was either on a book or a book shelf (I forgot) and DM asked what are they going to do with it. Once she mentioned that duck, I wrote "quack quack" in the chat, and boy did one of my guildies laugh. But when guild leader said they decided to kill the duck, I wrote "nooo poor quack quack
" and boy did that very same guildie laugh (I laughed because he laughed). And that's how we created our guild "religion" in which we worship a dead DnD duck named Quack. And few weeks ago I became a Quack Priestess.

Not quite eviction
When my family first moved from Michigan to Oregon (I was going into 8th grade), the house we were going to rent got sold out from under us while we were driving across the country. We started the trip with everything lined up, and then we suddenly had nothing.
Luckily, dad apparently had some relatives in Oregon (who I'd never met or even heard existed), and we were able to stay with my dad's brother and his family for like a week, I think. It... wasn't a pleasant experience. Some of it was personal stuff (like I'm really uncomfortable using other people's showers) and some of it was my little cousin being a freaking demon child. But my parents were able to find a new place that sufficed for, well, longer than we'd ever stayed in one place before. Nothing amazing, but it worked out alright.

Some really great kids
I have, on rare occasion, babysat. Kids tend to like me, but don't listen to me. I am typically only a jungle gym.
But there were these 3 kids once that probably could have watched themselves just fine. The oldest (still elementary) was at a friend's house almost the whole time, leaving me with a girl I think was about 9 or 10 and a little boy who was 2. I goofed off with them, I made them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and I just... existed. The girl was pretty on top of things, and even changed her little brother's diaper without any prompting, and both of them were just so sweet and adorable. It probably helped that the girl already saw me on the bus sometimes, and brightly declared "pretty girl!" every time she saw me. So, y'know, she already thought I was pretty cool I guess.
And I was the first babysitter they ever had. Their parents did their best to ensure at least one of them was always with them outside school, and this was the first time they couldn't.

A tiny leaf
A few days ago, I found a tiny leaf on the way to my therapist. Whole thing could have fit on a quarter, fallen from a tree because autumn. It made me so happy to see such an adorably tiny thing. Later, I remembered it while talking to my therapist, and I got so excited, so suddenly in my announcement of it, that I startled the poor man.
thank y'all so much for the support!! I love the photos and the stories!! I appreciate the stories of eviction you've all been willing to share. I'm sorry some of you had to go through this too!!
i kinda wanna take a second here to be bitter
My granddad went out and bought a new used car. Why? Because where he's working right now is a couple hours away and he doesn't want to rack up miles on his better car. He knows how to fix cars, my cousins and aunt live with him, and my nana baby sits for my uncle and aunt every week and for a while they brought my cousins who live with them on vacation every year. We're being evicted before the end of the month.

Idk I'm just kind of going through the cycles rn. My grandparents have done a lot of screwy stuff and I'm kind of angry about it. They've helped us a lot through other things, like giving us our current car for free but god. I dunno I just don't think it adds up as payment for everything and its not like it was done to make up for it. There's a lot of details that are better ranted to people who know me better and won't be as made uncomfortable but yeah
I'm just being real angry rn
Thank you all for the support

Don't worry about it. It's best to vent, especially with the stressful situation of eviction. To be fair, you probably will keep going through cycles of emotions, but in my opinion it's normal, and of course it's OK. Letting it out is better than keeping it in. Both for your mental health and your family's mental health
Firstly, I want to apologize. What you're going through isn't easy and it tends to hurt a lot more, and cut deeper when it happens to be family that does us wrong. It's not a nice lesson to learn, and it's not a revelation anyone wants, but if happy pictures and mutual stories help, then here goes!
I was 16 (a month before turning 17) when I moved out of my mother's, and I never lived with her again. Took a huge risk, moved up country some 700km (435mi) away from anything I knew to live with a girl and her family because I was young and fell in love. Anyhow, when we broke up, it was absolute chaos. I snuck my stuff out of her parent's place with the help of friends when everyone was at work because I knew I wouldn't be able to leave. I was paying $500/mo rent for a room and I barely made $800. And that's when my year of couch surfing began.
I moved 5 times in that one year, and while I wasn't a teenager anymore (I was 21), it was terrifying. I had no one to rely on but myself, my entire life fit into a 40qt Rubbermaid container, and I didn't drive cause I have seizures, with no money to go back to where I came from. During my couch surfing, I got evicted by one of my friend's landlords, because he deemed the place 'not big enough' even though I had paid him $300 to spend the month. It was also the middle of winter, snow everywhere, and -15C (5F), and being forced to find another place to live within 24 hours. Thank Gods, I had a fabulous co-worker who let me move in with her.
Anyhow, the point is, it might seem a bit hellish, but no matter what, even after years of shit, your feet will find stable ground, and for all these tumultuous times, you'll feel the enormous difference. Like, a weight being lifted off your chest. Don't give up. I know it sucks now, and the callousness might be mind boggling, but you keep trucking. Know you're not alone.
As for picture goodness, enjoy my pet octopus Marshmallow taking a bath:

We inherited Marshmallow from my (adopted) little sister. Unfortunately, some cats peed on it, but I'm not a quitter and my husband loved it so much, I gave Marshmallow a bath, and now she sits on the couch with her baby, (and our wittle octopus) Peep. So, together they make Marshmallow Peep.
AAaaa that's so sweet!! I love Marshmallow and Peep
YOU ARE RUINING MY AGGRESSIVE IMAGE. DON'T TELL PEOPLE.
Sorry Hades!! It's all over for you

Sorry to hear, Mejasoulfruit. I hope everything settles back into some sense of normalcy for you very soon!
And just cause....

I was way too careless and caught my house on FIRE a few years ago. Luckily, the only causalities in lives were pet birds. (still sucked, but certainly could have been worse). This left housing arrangements for myself, my husband, 2 cats, a salt water aquarium, a fresh water aquarium, and a flock of chickens very uncertain.
To have life turned upside down so suddenly was incredibly stressful. It came along with feelings of helplessness at simply not knowing what to do. It came with tears... a lot of them. And guilt... because, ultimately, it was my fault.
We were out of the house for almost a year, bouncing between 3 different temporary housing places during that time (and driving back home twice a day, every day, to take care of the chickens).
But, some good came out of it too. I found out I had some people I could rely on that I wouldn't have expected. I grew some thicker skin through the whole process of dealing with insurance companies, the bank, and various reconstruction companies.

Hang on in there, Meja. I haven't lived eviction, but I have been homeless and over the last twenty years I lived in 24 different places in four countries, both in the Americas and in Europe, and moved twice across the ocean with only a suitcase or two. It's difficult being displaced, and not knowing what will happen and where you'll go, but you will pull through this and find a good home.
Now, I don't have plushies with me, but I do have my cute cat pics collection.

I've been homeless before. One of the times I got stuck in woman's shelter with my mom. That was a nightmare. It's never easy, but eventually you'll find your footing again. Best of luck to you.
