It is so hard to go from not self harming for nearly 5 years to leaving 31 scars on your thigh bc you donāt want anyone to see.
On top of that, I stopped for a month and then itās been just so back and forth between harming and not harming myself.
āThe entire British museum is an active crime sceneā - John Oliver
[image description: two pictures, one above the other. The first image shows a statue originally from the Acropolis in Athens, now in the British Museum. The statue is a column shaped like a woman. It is labelled London. The bottom image is from the Acropolis Museum in Athens, showing the other five matching column/statues, with a space for the missing statue pointedly left open. This picture is shot from above and is labelled Athens.

For those of you who donāt know museum drama, one of the largest and most famous parts of the British Museumās collection is the so-called Elgin Marbles, which were looted from the Acropolis by Lord Elgin in the 18th Century. (The Acropolis is the hill in Athens, Greece which has some of the most amazing Greek ruins anywhere, the most famous of which is the Parthenon.) Elgin had (or at least claims to have had) permission from the Ottoman Empire to take stuff home with him, but a) this is one empire asking another empire if they can loot stuff from the other empireās subjugated people, so, not exactly any moral high ground there Elgin, and b) he took a lot more stuff than the Ottomans said he could have.
Greece has been asking for those statues and sculptures to be returned since they won independence in 1832. Thatās right, 1832, 190 years ago. The British Museum has had a number of excuses over the years, one of the biggies of the late 20th Century being āwe couldnāt possibly give them back because Athens doesnāt have a nice enough museum to display themā and ignoring Greeceās response of āwe will BUILD a museum just for them if you will just give us our damn stuff back!ā
Finally, Greece said āfuck youā and built a museum at the bottom of the Acropolis called the Acropolis museum. It is huge, it is gorgeous, the collection of objects is amazing and the educational bits (āthis is what it is and why it mattersā) are really well done. Itās probably one of the best archaeological museums in the world; it definitely is the best collection of ancient Greek artifacts in the world, both for the size of the collection and the way itās displayed.
Oh. And it is amazingly passive-aggressive. Every single piece of the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum has an empty spot on display waiting for the piece to be returned to Greece. For example, there are a lot of pieces where Elgin took, say, the nicest (or easiest to remove) one of a set. The column/statue in the OPās image is one of these. Friezes from the roof of the Parthenon are another example. The Acropolis Museum displays each one of these sets with space for the stolen pieces, along with a picture of what the stolen piece looks like and where it is. It is a giant middle finger at the British Museum, disguised as helpful information.
Thereās no chance that the British Museum will return any of this in the next generation. Itās not up to the curators at the British Museum; they donāt get any say in this. The board of governors of the British Museum is made up of old posh English people who genuinely believe that the Empire was awesome and England has a perfect right to everything in the British Museum. They have set policies about what can and canāt be removed from the collection, and according to those policies nothing of any historical or monetary value can be given away or sold. And they actively promote the idea that their predecessors had a perfect right to loot the cultural heritage of the world, and that the museum has a perfect right to keep it forever. The only way to get anything out of the British Museum and back to its rightful place would be to completely replace the entire board of the museum with new people who think completely differently. And thatās not happening any time soon, alas.
By the way, the British argument that Greeks wouldnāt know how to care for the antiquitiesā¦ā¦. Greece has 206 archaeological museums. Itās not only incredibly demeaning as an argument, itās also straight out false and misleading.
Return our shit now. Put up and look at tea bags and pots from the 15th century or something Idaf.

In Honor of Halloweenā¦
I love Halloween. Itās my favorite holiday. I like it because for one day, out of the whole year, I donāt have to fake a smile. I can be the person at night; with a tear, mixed with mascara stained face, maybe put on a red cape, and call myself the realistic version of Little Red Riding Hood.
I donāt have to cover up the marks on myself because those can be part of the costume. And for one day -ONE DAY- I can make my makeup as crazy as possible and as normal as *I* like it to be and I can say itās part of a costume and no one will think twice about it.
And if I donāt want to wear something that may show myself or my face, I can put on a black or white sheet and maybe add a mask and all of sudden Iām a ghost or the grim reaper.
So for one day out of the year, I donāt have to shield myself. I can be the sad little girl that no one sees at night and call it a costume. I can cover up all of me and no one will be concerned because after all, itās just a costume.
So in Honor of Halloween, my favorite holiday, Iām going to enjoy that one night of freedom from the usual concern of people (who I really wish would leave me alone).
In Honor of Halloween, Iām going to be that girl at night that no body sees. The one with a tear- mixed with mascara, stained face and call it a costume. And no one will think twice. Because all they see is the smiling, happy girl, prancing her way through life, and who are they to think deep down, sheās a mess waiting to explode.
moms b like "your emotional pain causes ME emotional pain and that is what we will be focusing on today"
moms also b like "my mom traumatized me more than i traumatized u so clearly u should be thanking me"
wish yall would stop calling rejection of mainstream beauty expectations as āembracing uglinessā :(
just bcs i dont wear makeup doesnt mean im ārawā and āembracing my uglinessā im literally just existingā¦ sorry 2 hear about ur messed up self esteem but dont project your issues onto meā¦
āIf you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if youāre okay. Who watches out or you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Donāt let them go. People like that are hard to find.ā
