I read as a distraction as well. I've got through so many books recently, it's crazy.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.

I wrote the lyrics to "Rise Above This" by Seether on my arm. The part that goes "I've fallen down but I'll rise above this." and a blob of a butterfly. So now I am trying not to cut until the lyrics fade. I hope I can make it!
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

Love. I remind myself that I can love and that does not make me the monster I believe I am. I remind myself of this verse in a poem I once wrote:
As you draw that blade,
Across your skin,
He grows a scar,
Just the same as yours.
And I just sort of stop thinking.
THE POINT OF SINGULARITY IS NOTHING AS NOTHING BEGAN EVERYTHING
PULSING IN THE EXPAND CONSUME WITHOUT BARRIER OR BORDER
IT IS DARK BECAUSE IT IS THE DARKNESS IT IS OVER BECAUSE IT IS THE END
THERE IS NO SENTRY BECAUSE NONE DARE APPROACH
IT HAS NEVER BEEN AND IT IS ALL THAT EVER WAS
AT THE CENTER YOU DO NOT FIND THE ANSWER
YOU DO NOT FIND YOURSELF THERE IS NO CENTER AND THERE IS NO YOU THERE IS ONLY MADNESS
WE ARE ALL HERE NOW.
WE ARE ALL HERE.
WE ARE.

I distract myself with writing, chilling with friends, drawing and painting... that kind of thing. If the urges get terrible, I band, not cut
“Go where you are celebrated – not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value of you, it’s time for a new start.”
Dont be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone..
“Self confidence is the most attractive quality a person can have. how can anyone see how awesome you are if you can’t see it yourself?”
“When the past calls, let it go to voicemail, believe me, it has nothing new to say.”

I'm avoiding most of my triggers.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!

I like to work out. When it's light outside, I'll take a walk around campus. There's this really great alcove with these cool pillars and I like to go sit there or take pics of them because they're cool. I also listen to music.
would it be so hard to realign a star or two?

I've been feeling sad sometimes through-out this week so when I want to cut, I think of my best friend and it stops me. It's helped me 14 days so far.
This is how strong love can be. <3

From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How all my worst fears are letting out
He said, "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time

Thinking that I don't deserve to hurt myself because of something they did. That every time I cut, they win. Every day I don't, I win.

I've hidden my blades under my bed in a box with a bunch of photographs of happy days in my life. That way when I feel tempted, I have to put myself through the effort of rummaging through photographs of myself and my friends. It makes me think more about why I feel the need to cut and it makes me stop
I could dwell on my problems... But I'd rather make a milkshake...
