Demons and monsters fighting in and out of me

Keywords: {0}

Such a pathetic bunch of flash and bones I am. The only thing I can do is wondering, and wondering, and wandering. Cluelessly. I was laying on the front veranda this morning, Lou and her friend Kate chatting in front of a cuppa, me silently looking up, the sky painted in an aching bright deep blue, the top of the green lush gumtrees floating with the wind, the sun warming me up, the earth, the summer and the unbearable beauty of the moment surrounding me, me just sinking in it, in the light. Tears stinging to get out. I see the world and it’s so beautiful. I see life, my life is so beautiful, full of colours, light, people, love. And this is why I’m so unhappy, so desperate. I am among people, but no-one is with me. I’m just nearby, they are just nearby. I can’t share the beauty, I can’t share my thoughts. I can write them down here, or I can draw endless skies, I can draw love that I imagine between people that I imagine, that I imagine to be, but I can’t do anything to share all of this with someone in reality, not in the tangible world.

Fuck holding yourself back. Fuck putting other people above yourself. Fuck making assumptions. Fuck holding onto expectations that nobody knows about. Fuck living your life for somebody else.

I was so prepared to one day leave home

I’m lonely but sometimes in a secret part of my heart, I don’t want the pandemic to end. It’s horrible. I’ll be so much happier when it ends. But part of me never wants to leave my parents home. I’m lonely I miss my friends. But this pandemic made me scared of the outside world. It made me cuddle up with my blankey (Mr. Blankey) and cry.

Whenever I’ve wanted to experiment with new styles, I head over to the thrift store

Ever hear the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Well I can easily say that is 100% true. I could go on and on about what I’ve found.

I kept hold of my Instagram as it seemed like the most friendly platform

Keywords: JOURNEYTOHAPPINESS , MENTAL HEALTH , MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT , MENTALHEALTH , MENTALHEALTHJOURNEY , RELATIONSHIPS , WELLBEING

If you are someone who is struggling with their own mental health then my DM’s are always open on Instagram (link on the blog). I don’t promise to have all the answers but I am happy to listen and chat and if I can help in any way I will. You don’t have to know or love someone to care about their wellbeing and I wouldn’t wish feeling like this on anyone.

I was about 11 when this show came out and I adored it

I found the main actresses so beautiful and so thin. I wanted their lives. I wanted their flat stomachs. It taught me that the blonde, beautiful, thin women were revered while the ugly, chubby, brunette women were always cast aside.
