“However, instead of losing my head and crumbling under the pressure, I’ve kept a constant eye on my perspective and am continuously “resetting it”. Little shifts in the way I view things are extremely helpful when put to practice on a regular basis. It’s crazy how something seemingly so minor could be so powerful. I can fall into a victim mentality and look at all the things going on as “happening to me”, but I’ve been practicing receiving everything in life as a gift, as “happening for me” instead. It’s an empowering way to live, and things no longer seem out of control or overwhelming in a negative way. Rather, I’m overwhelmed by how good it all is, by the incredible opportunities I’m being given, the people I’ve met through this process and the places I’m going (and have been).”

Helio- To Write Love on Her Arms
well she won’t leave this night alone
and she won´t sleep at all
and all the sorrow that she takes out on herself
it comes around and leaves her bleeding on the floor
and she knows, yeah she knows that there’s a lot of ugly things about this world
These street lights, they shine bright, as they illuminate the darkness of the pavement
they shine, as we try to write in on her arms, the love she longs to taste
and we’ll find that inside, that she’s a broken heart that anyone could save
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
feeling worthless, self-destruction
try to take control of this
see the purpose, reconstruction
write it somewhere it will stick
and stars are hiding now
but there’s something out there still
and she knows, yeah she knows that there’s an awful lot of beauty in this world.
these street lights, they shine bright, as they illuminate the darkness of the pavement

and we’ll find that inside, that she’s a broken heart that anyone could save
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
the stars are always there
but we miss them in the dirt and clouds
We miss them in the storms
remember hope
remember hope
We have hope

So weak, and yet you have such strength.
“We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don’t get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won’t solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we’re called home.”
i go to deltona high school, and have been debating suicide for quite sometime, the only reason i havent is because of my family. do you think that will be enough?
i cut, but im trying to stop. ive been working out, trying to stay positive but i cant go anywhere because it would hurt them.
i need advice.
By how you say the reason you haven’t is because of your family makes me think you really care about them. So think of how absolutely devastated they would be to lose you. Someone they love so much. To your parents no matter what they say you are such a precious gift. When a parent loses a child they are never the same.
Truth is it would be good to go to someone. You’re struggling with depression. Depression is an illness and your parents they go into having a child knowing there will be times when it’s not easy. There will be times when their child is sick and need help.
Depression is an illness just as much as the flu is.
It won’t hurt them, but it may worry them. But the only reason is because they love you. They don’t want to see you in pain, they don’t want to lose you.
Your life is worth it! You will get through this and you will be happy.
It may seem dark now but it’s going to get better I promise.
The suicidal thoughts is the depression talking, not you.
Don’t let it in! Don’t listen, know there is hope, there is love. You’re apart of a big puzzle, without you that puzzle will break for so many people.

As a nice reminder of all of these struggles.
and promote awareness for people affected by self-injury.
No, not for Demi Lovato.
But for myself, and for every one else who strugles with self harm, in the multiple forms it comes in.
For those who think it is stupid, or “emo.” I want you to take a minute and search self injury on Tumblr.
Read the post’s, see the images, people crying out for help, people who continue cutting because of the jokes and bullying they recieve because of it.
It’s been a heavy struggle for me the past few months. People are ashamed to come out and say it because they’re afraid their friends won’t accept them anymore because of it. What kind of a friend is that?
I wan’t everyone who shares this struggle and feels a sense of being worthless to come to me, anytime they need anything.
I won’t judge you, share your information with anyone, and I most definetly will not just say don’t do it.
I want you to know you’re not alone, I’m right there by your side.
I believe that if two come together, they can overcome so much more then if they are alone.
So here’s to staying strong, together.
how are you gonna help other ppl if you cant help yourself?
The plan is that if two people come together they can be so much stronger then they are when they think they are alone. Two people can really help eachother back in forth, I can help someone with what they are going through because I know what it is like being there. I know their struggle and I’m not someone pretending. I’ve actually experienced it, I know it’s hard. But I also know, It’s not the end. And that’s what I hope to share with people.
