“My anatomy, my carcass, my bag of bones, and my decrepit frame. I am asking forgiveness for the torture that you endure. I apologize for the stress and restlessness that you experience. I am sorry for the hatred you feel as I over analyze my waistline in the mirror, and all of the miles that I make you run so the numbers on the scale continue to decrease. I regret the days that I make you starve, as I know they are only making you weaker. Forgive me for the liquor I feed you as I gather the courage to sin with the one who will never care. I wish I never let him frolic in your playground. Please pardon each pair of stringent hands that I allowed to undress you. Although I never granted permission to some, I should’ve let them undress my mind first. This is me trying to make amends for the sins that I have committed at your dispense. I realize that you are the space that my thoughts and soul will reside for the remainder of my era, so please exempt my past wrongdoings as I know I must love and nurture you if I wish to stay.”

“1. Don’t beat yourself up too much about anything. I know it’s hard not to, but you have got to at least try otherwise you’re going to a darker place than where you normally go. 11. Write more. It allows you to get all of your frustration out and all your other feelings. It’s a healthy way of expressing your emotions and it does make you happier. 111. Make someone laugh at least once, whether it’s through your shear absurdity or a pun. Surrounding yourself in laughter helps, even if you’re not always the one laughing. 1v. Find better friends. Find ones who ask you how your day was and actually check in and don’t ignore you if you try to bring up your mental health, instead find those who support you through you’re best and worst days. v. Always, always be socially aware. You may not know what is going on in other people’s lives but you know how it feels when someone says an off-handed remark or ditches you for someone they think is better. Don’t do it to others. Making someone’s day will be a small achievement of the day. And hope people will follow your example. v1. Cut the toxic people from your life, or at least try to tune them out as much as you can. Sometimes it’s hard because you can’t escape sitting near them in class, but just tune your music up and smile and nod. v11. Laugh at the shit you go through, sometimes you can’t help but make light of a bad day because you really should expect some of this to happen, and brush it off. There’s no sense being grumpy, just make a joke and move on. v111. Don’t hold grudges, they’ll only make you feel worse. 1x. Read. Find time to yourself and get lost in someone else’s world for a little bit. x. For the love of god, smile.”
