With the support of my wonderful boyfriend. <3
When you can't find your way home, and when life gets too hard to face on your own. I will stand as a light through the darkness unknown, I will walk with you, so you're never alone.

Every time I feel triggered to do so, I either listen to music or start writing everything down. Sometimes I even just take the pencil and the page and start scribbling until the urge is gone.
One thing that I have done recently is write the word inspiration on my arm. I used to wear a white string around my wrist to remind me that I am stronger than the urge, but about a month ago it fell off. I still carry it with me wherever I go though. Writing inspiration is just another little reminder, though.

I didn't bring any first aid stuff on holiday.
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 got a tattoo that says "love" on my wrist. I try to look at it and remind myself of the people I love and who loves me.
I don't feel ashamed of my scars any more. And even when I've relapsed, it doesn't have the same control on my brain that it used to. It doesn't completely consume me.
Hope is real. Help is real. LOVE is the movement.
