I couldn't think of anything to write about yesterday, sorry.

This is something that I've never really told anybody.

One of my biggest insecurities is my last name.

I know you're thinking, "How is that an insecurity? It's just a fucking last name."

Well, obviously I'm not giving out my last name, but I get teased about it a lot. By my friends, popular people, jerks that actually do it on purpose.. It just makes me feel small when they tease me about it.

My last name is almost spelled like 'Nugget,' but that is NOT my last name. Most people call me by the name Nugget. It just makes me feel like I don't mean anything, which is what I already believe. So there's that too.

The thing is, I tell them to stop. Some people will stop, but mostly my friends think it's just a silly name. So, they keep on calling me by that name. I can't really explain why it makes me feel bad, it just does.

Also, the fact that some people laugh after I ask them to stop just makes it that much more hurtful. It just puts me a little farther down in the water, suffocating. That's the only way I can really describe it.

I'm really writing this because I know that one of my friends reads this book. And maybe she'll stop doing this. She doesn't do it as often as others, but it still hurts. I just wanted to put this out there because I apparently "need to get my feelings out." So, here we are.
