Playing Tales of Symphonia on the gamecube and reminiscing of the good old days when I was a child - the good times of course, not the bad.

Listening to music and writing poetry.

Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

Writing and writing and writing and not moving from my spot until I'm so tired I don't even have the strength to SH anymore or the night has passed and I have to go to class.


It's ok to give in to an urge or make a mistake. You are only human and we all have our flaws. We all have our weak moments and we all make mistakes. Thats what makes us human.
Thats what makes us unique and beautiful

Courage isn't always a loud roar. Sometimes it is a quiet whisper at the end of a day saying: Tomorrow I will try it again!

The last time I wanted to self harm, I started a new art project. Focusing on drawing takes away the anger for me.


You are always fabulous, all day, every day. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

(Because I don't wanna bother with a ticker)

If I need support, I'll talk to my spirit guide, a black panther named Kuro. If I need sensation, I'll gently brush my skin with a soft-bristled cat brush, since I don't have a cat anymore.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm? - October 19th 2014, 12:17 AM

Sleeping and reading novels.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers

I dropped my tool in a hard to get at place as I was about to self harm.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
