I read as a distraction as well. I've got through so many books recently, it's crazy.

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
'Cause 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 remind myself J will write a message to me soon, or I remind myself of when I'm going to meet him. I'd rather not be covered in scars when I run into his arms.

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.

instead of cutting; crying myself to sleep at night time.
I'm a freaking emotional wreck when it comes to dealing with the emotions that cause me to self harm.
~ Words scar, Rumors destroy and bullies kill ~
~ I'm just another nobody.
~ You can't tell how much suffering is on a face that's always smiling </3
~ Be my friend.
hold me.
wrap me up.
unfold me.
I am small and needy.
Warm me up and breathe me.
❤❤❤

On here, and thinking of the person i like.
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
Until we all just get old and die

Having my youth group friends remind me what happened on camp and the promises God has in store for me if the best way I'm beating it at the moment. And it's getting easier

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...
