    I find a lot of the stuff I wrote here very cringey and I'm having to actively fight against the urge to make fun of myself for it, so I'm choosing instead to do some inner child healing by being proud of little me for how much passion I clearly had for this. I put a lot of work into this stuff and was really looking for a healthy outlet while going through a whole whole lot.

    When somebody touches you,
    and you really don’t wanna be touched,
    that’s not really being touched.
    You still got you inside of you.

    “I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountains; I invented a brighter flame for myself. And behold, then this ghost fled from me.

    to heal
    you have to
    get to the root
    of the wound
    and kiss it all the way up

    All I wanted was to be a splinter under your skin,
    to be wrapped in your body and wait for you to heal over me.

    They say time heals
    all wounds, but that
    presumes the source
    of the grief is finite.

    “
    When you’re broken, people are going to come along and try to fix you. They’ll try to fix you with their words. They’ll try to fix you with drugs and therapy and they’ll try to minimize the lingering and bitter taste of loneliness and feeling of isolation. People are going to attempt to pick up your pieces and make you whole. But those shards will cut their hands and the sight of blood dripping from their fingertips will turn them away from your presence. But sweetheart someone is going to come along and pick up the shards with no hesitation. The shards will cut them and scar them but they will surely see all the beauty behind the gashes. That, my friend, is enough to make you whole again.
    — you won’t be lonely forever, no matter how deep the cut may be.

    You will love again the stranger who was your self.
    Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
    to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
    all your life, whom you ignored
    for another, who knows you by heart.
    Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
    the photographs, the desperate notes,
    peel your own image from the mirror.
    Sit. Feast on your life.

    Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it. You’re healing; the fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting. People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly. But on the other hand there are some people who’ll feel uncomfortable around you. Some will even point and laugh. But we all have wounds.

    We've heard you were a victim.
    Stop crouching in the shadows, chewing your hair.
    You can be graceful, not like a ballerina,
    like a hedge of coral,
    built up and eaten and worn down
    yet alive, carving the rhythms of the seas.
    You can be a threshing sledge,
    new and sharp with many teeth.

    posted a quote
     August 5, 2016 2:16pm UTC
    When you stop and take a good look around,
    you freeze and rethink of all the good things and bad things that have happened to you.
    You never think the last time is the last time.
    You never think you'd be thinking about a life without that certain someone,
    you don't think time would stop ticking.
    You freeze and feel empty, but you stop looking around you
    take a deep breath in and know that it's in the past.
    You can let the past destroy you or you can learn from it.
    I am still learning how to let me past teach me.
    I'm still healing, time takes forever.
    I am learning how to slow down and for the time being,
    I'm enjoying myself and being myself.
    But sometimes I wonder
    who am I, where do I belong, what am I doing.

    Traumatic experiences are
    broken bones of the soul.
    If you engage in the
    process of recovery,
    you get stronger. If you
    don’t, the bones remain
    porous, with permanent
    holes inside, and you are considerably weaker.

    It's time to take your love back from those
    who hurt you; from those who never understood how to protect someone who cared as deeply as you did. It’s time to take those pieces, the shards of heart and hope, from the hands of those who do not deserve to hold them any longer. It is time to believe that you are worthy of being whole again; that you are worthy of knitting yourself back together, day by day, fragment by fragment.
    It is time to understand that you never had any say in how long someone stayed; you never had any say in how long someone loved you. There was nothing you could have done to stop them from walking away. Whether you silenced the thud of your heart against your ribcage, whether you spoke in a softer tone or made yourself fit into their lives like a square peg in a round hole, you never had any say in how long they were going to appreciate you. How long they were going to try.
    However, you do have a say in how you rise; in how you pick yourself up from the debris of it all. You do have control over how you grow, how you build yourself from a foundation of ash and flame, from charred pieces of past and weathered old names.
    So take it slowly. Start by taking back your favorite songs, the ones that always made you cry when they left. Take back your favorite coffee shop, the one you always went to together. Take back your favorite sweater, the one that always smelled like them. Then, calmly, take back your quiet — the thoughts you have when you are asleep, the conversations you share with the moon. Take back your beauty, the confidence that was once built on the bedrock of their approval. Take back your heart, no matter how battered and bruised it is, no matter how much it hurts.
    I promise you will bloom again. I promise you will flourish. Trust me when I say that wildflowers grow in the oddest of places, between the cracks of memories, they gather strength within scar tissue, stretching toward the light, saying “We deserve to be here, no matter where we have come from.” Now it’s your turn.

    There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.
