Staying Strong

"Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that doesn't get a day off.”

I think this is what we all want to hear: that we are not alone in hitting the bottom, and that it is possible to come out of that place courageous, beautiful, and strong.

Absent

Nothing here feels real anymore

Everything feels bleak and drained of color

The emotions of every second have escaped me

And I am no longer able to feel.

My capacity to experience absolute joy

Or draining agony

Is gone

And all my senses have vanished

In essence, I am absent

My mind has spiritually left long before I realized it

And my heart has become indolent

These lack of feelings and drive leave my body in a zombie-like state of conscious

Where I go through seconds abstracted and before I know it

A whole day has passed by and I can’t recall feeling a single emotion

So consequentially, life loses intrinsic meaning

Leaving everything in my world pointless

Seconds

Days

Weeks

And months go by

And I can’t recall the last time I felt anything

But I am here

I am alive

Or else my skin wouldn’t bleed when lacerated

Or my perception wouldn’t become blurry as I stare at the bottom of a bottle

And my body wouldn’t physically react to the touches of strangers

I can feel all this

Yet, I am still absent

Alive yet dead

Present yet gone

Emotional yet numb

I am truly gone

I want to stay in love with my sorrow, but God I wanna let it go.

Something in me hurts

(via takesmybodyhigher)

[wordsnquotes]

There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.

Beau Taplin, “And You” (via wordsnquotes)

My biggest insecurity is being me.

One of the hardest things in the world is to let someone love you when you can’t even sit comftorbly in your own skin

I didn’t understand what hate was, until I started looking in the mirror more often.
