Don’t look at things you know will make you angry. Don’t read the comment sections. Don’t look at the blogs of people who add dumb comments to posts to confirm that they’re dumb all the time. Don’t read old conversations you had with people you don’t talk to anymore. Go look at pictures of kittens or something instead. Protect yourself from negativity in every way you can.

Self harm will never be a healthy coping skill

Yes. I said it. I am a survivor of this and I’m going to tell you the bloody fucking truth.

After talking with someone who is absolutely convinced they’re doing nothing wrong and they “know what they’re doing,” I need to make this.

It will not only leave bodily scars but it will leave an even bigger mental scar:

It makes you a liar.

The constant lies you tell when you self harm. The “I’m fine,” “I was on my phone in the bathroom,” the “I’m taking a long bath, my back hurts.” No, you weren’t on your phone. No, you didn’t take that long bath to relax.No. Just no. You lied. This is a constant battle you fight, with others and yourself. It makes you sneaky, it makes you slicker than an oiled eel. You become savvy, how you can hide this, show that. You distort your own reality that all is peachy when you’re making crude bandages with tape and toilet paper in your grandmother’s bathroom. You walk out without a care, say you were fixing your hair and you were doing this or that. Lying becomes so easy.

It makes you hungry.

No, not like that. It makes you hungry for more pain. It’s an addiction. The only reason i kicked it is because I threw away my stuff and cant bring myself to lie about being clean. 6 months baby. Soon to be 7. I’m still hungry for it, still wanting it, still wanting to give in to my addiction. It is such a hard battle and i don’t want this for anyone. This notion that it is healthy is only hurting us even more, please stop telling others and yourself that it is healthy. Drugs are not healthy, they never will be. Feeding your addiction is never ever healthy.

It makes your issues worse/Everything is a trigger

Now you have to deal with outer wounds. You always know they’re there, sitting there, bloody or finally healing up. For those who take longer to heal, it can take 2 months to heal all the way even when they’re just surface cuts. Seeing cuts on another person is the worst. If you’re like me, you’re the first to doctor someone’s wound. Even if their hand slipped with the kitchen knife and they sliced their hand by accident. It makes you think back to hurting yourself. You want to help them but the first thought that comes to mind is hurting yourself just like that. Seeing medical images shared on FB that look a little too similar to what you did. Even watching the horror movies you love can be hard.

If you have dogs, it hurts to have them jump on you. It hurts to wear those favorite skinny jeans because they rub against the healing wounds. It hurts to swing your leg over your horse when you get on. All you want to do it hurt yourself, no matter what. You wanna cut up stuff in the kitchen? Lol. You want to sew? Have fun having intrusive thoughts when your needle pricks you.

What Im saying is that it RUINS YOU. You may recover but things will never be the same. Don’t get deep into this. Don’t start. Don’t even do it once. The first time is a choice. The second time is not.

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?

“Even if you come home late and I’m already asleep, just whisper in my ear one little thought you had today. Because I love the way you look at the world. And I’m so happy I get to be next to you and look at the world through your eyes.”

“7th house/descendant - “If I’m attracted to form a relationship with you, it means you have qualities I seek to integrate into my life, qualities I don’t consciously experience as already within me. But what if I gradually come to be aware of your qualities in myself? What happens when I don’t unconsciously need you as a mirror anymore? Theoretically, it should be the beginning of true intimacy for then we can really begin to share as true equals. All too often, however, it signifies the end of the relationship”

e lembre-se, que tempos ruins… são apenas momentos ruins

[eloise-studies]

Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth and a quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow.
