Honestly, I'm not here to try to impress anyone or anything.
I'm just me. Nothing impressive about that, right?
I'm here to try and inspire people... Just to try and make a change.
Even if I just manage to help/inspire only one person.
I still made a difference to someone's life.
And that means more to me than anyone can understand.

When I was younger...
Between ages 12 and 15, I was really unhappy.
And I was convinced it would always be that way.
1. I was struggling with depression.
2. My relationship with my parents was toxic.
3. I was self-harming in various ways.
4. I was starving myself for days at a time.
5. I was dealing with a lot of anger issues.
6. Once, I tried to kill myself.
7. I and stopped trying with school.
8. I lied compulsively.
9. I felt like I had no real friends.
10. I used the internet as an escape.
11. I genuinely felt like I hated myself.
12. I gave up on my faith.
13. I made myself throw up meals.
14. I almost ran away from home.
15. I stopped talking to my family.
I seriously thought it would always be like that. There was no light at the end
of the tunnel. No amazing friend or soulmate to pull me through it. No counselling,
no therapy, no support. Nobody knew the full story. They were the hardest four years of my life.
But you know what?
I'm seventeen now. And I very rarely think of that time at all. When I do think
of it, I can only remember the good things, things that I couldn't see were so important:
holidays I loved; memories with my little brother; talking online with my best friend;
obsessing over the weather and drawing a billion charts for no reason at all. The depression,
the pain, the darkness -- that's all really fuzzy. It's kind of like a dream, and if I hadn't gone
through it myself, I wouldn't look at who I am now and believe that it really happened.
Because not one thing on that list applies to me anymore. I'm happy. I love my family more
than anything. I have hobbies I obsess over, friends I would take a bullet for. I'm completely
happy with how I look and the fact that I'm overweight (secretely because my younger
siblings say it makes me really comfortable to sleep on during long car journeys).
The point is... I went through that. I thought it would never stop being like that,
but it did, and I did get better, and now I'm really happy with who I am and where I am.
I got better. It ended. So I hope anyone who's reading this right now (for whatever reason)
understands that if they're going through what feels like hell, and they can't see the way out:
It doesn't last forever, you'll get through this,
& you will be okay. ♥
(I think this is the most personal quote I've ever written. I hope it helps someone.)

If you read my quotes,
you'll probably know about this.
I've posted so many quotes about it, it's actually kind of embarrassing...
Remember all my rants and vents about a friendship that was hurting me?
Well, that was about me and my best friend. And... Well, I just wanted to
make a quick quote to let anyone who actually cares (a number I would typically
assume to be 0, but you guys and witty have blown my cynicism out the window
time and time again) know that I think, after almost a year, we're finally sorting
it out. And I'm so happy I could cry. I kind of almost already am. (...Yes, that made
sense.) Anyway, I just had to thank those of you who've put up with my soppy
sob-stories and angry ranting, and for the special people (you all know who
you are) who've actually taken the time to comfort me or give me advice. You
helped so much. You have no idea. But yeah. This is just a thank you. Because
I'm happy and hopeful and doing that stupid Titanic cry-laugh thing. Okay, bye.

When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.

PEOPLE OFTEN ASK me why summer is my favorite season. most people don't like the heat, the bugs, and the skyrocketing electricity bills due to all of the A/C usage. but i still love it. i get a chance to be free, i get a chance to enjoy myself and relax. and even though things almost never turn out how i want them to, i just like the vibe of summer in general. i love the idea of spending a day at the beach with your favorite people, and having cookouts and pool parties and watching all the fireflies light up the backyard. even days where you have a ton of time to waste. i may be dreaming too big, but maybe things will finally work out and i'll get the summer i always imagine summer being.

21. My father is run over by a car.
He is passed out in the road with a blood alcohol content 4 times the legal limit.
I do not cry.
Four months later,
The nurses lose his pulse,
And I wonder whose life
Flashed before his eyes.
Rewinding VHS tapes
Old home videos
20.
19. I haven't brought a friend home in four years.
18. My mother sips the word "divorce"
Her mouth curls at the taste
Like it burns going down.
17. I start doing homework at Starbucks.
I have more meaningful conversations with the barista
Than with my family
16. I wait for Christmas Eve.
My brother and I usually exchange gifts to one another early
This year, he
And my father exchange blows.
My mother doesn't go to mass.
15. I come up with the theory that my father started drinking again
Because maybe he found out I'm gay.
Like if he could make everything else blurry,
Maybe somehow I'd look straight.
15. My mother cleans up his vomit in the middle of the night
And cooks breakfast in the morning like she hasn't lost her appetite.
15. I blame myself.
15. My brother blames everyone else.
15. My mother blames the dog.
15. Super Bowl Sunday My father bursts through the door like an avalanche
Picking up speed and debris as he falls
Banisters, coffee tables, picture frames
Tumbling, stumbling.
I find his AA chip on the kitchen counter.
14. My father's been sober for 10, Maybe 11, years?
I just know We don't even think about it anymore.
13.
12.
11. Mom tells me Daddy's "meetings" are for AA.
She asks if I know what that means.
I don't.
I nod anyway.
10. My parents never drink wine at family gatherings.
All my other aunts and uncles do.
I get distracted by the TV and forget to ask why.
9.
8.
7.
6. I want to be Spider-Man.
Or my dad. They're kinda the same.
5.
4.
3. I have a nightmare
The recurring one about Ursula from The Little Mermaid
So I get up I waddle toward Mommy and Daddy's room,
Blankie in hand, I pause.
Daddy's standing in his underwear
Silhouetted by refrigerator light.
He raises a bottle To his lips.
2.
1.
0. When my mother was pregnant with me,
I wonder if she hoped,
As so many mothers do,
That her baby boy would grow up to be
Just like
His father.

This may get 1 like or this may get 100. I don't care as long as it helps one person.
I just want you to know that everything will be okay. I know you’re in a hard place right now where you think that maybe harming yourself or killing yourself is the only solution. But I promise you, there are other ways you can cope and there are reasons for you to stay on this earth.
Self harming isn’t going to solve the problem/s nor will it make you feel any better. I know you get a sense of release/punishment but it’s not going to help in the long run.
Remind yourself that every time you feel the urge to self-harm that it’s just a thought. You DO NOT have to act upon it.
Self-harming will affect you emotionally, physically and mentally. It will only help for about 5 minutes. Then something else can happen to trigger the feeling again.
Alternatives without harming yourself:
Holding/squeezing ice.
Splashing your face with water.
Getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).
Take a hot shower or bath.
Eat something sour. It will take your mind of the urge. (Lemon, sour lollies)
Massage where you want to self-harm.
Get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.
Remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it. (Scars, harms organs, blood lose, leave memories etc…)
Describe what you are feeling. (Is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).
Killing yourself will not help. It is not a solution.For whatever reason you are thinking about killing yourself, it is temporary and you can get help.
I know you probably think no one cares, you think you can’t handle the situation you are in or you feel helpless and alone.
But I want to remind you everything is temporary
You have your whole life ahead of you. You have so many more years that you can accomplish things in.
For example;
Having a family.
Getting married.
To watch the sun rise.
To watch the sun set.
To save someone else’s life.
Finish school.
Get your dream job.
To laugh.
To smile.
To go camping.
Travel to new places.
To wake up every morning to the person you love.
Friends.
Family.
To keep that promise you made.
To accomplish a goal.
To meet your idle.
To listen to new music.
Theme parks.
Video games.
Chocolate.
To be able to look back and say “I made it”.
Just a reminder; what you are going through is temporary.
In case you need to hear this:
You are loved.
You are wanted.
You are needed.
You are beautiful.
You are handsome.
You are important.
You are not alone.
You are okay.
You are strong.
You are worth it.
You are smart.
You are not a failure.
You are useful.
You are going to be okay.
I’m always here for you. I’ll try my best to help and make you smile.
You deserve to be happy and you deserve to know that you are not alone and there are people that can help.
