Self Harm Awarness Day 2014

Life is very difficult. There will be no sugar coating here because the fact of the matter is, yes, there are many obstacles to overcome; some will make you cry in defeat and others you will overcome in triumph. However, finding the best way to overcome those battles without giving in to the toxic things will more than likely be the hardest battle of them all.

Biography of Heartbreak

“It feels like somebody took my heart and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears and at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. And I am crying but nobody can hear me because I am terribly, terribly, terribly alone.”- Michael Scott, The Office

everything's fine- be brave.

A year ago today I took a huge step out of my comfort zone and did something I never thought I would do in my lifetime; I got a tattoo. I’m sure most of you know that I have the words “everything’s fine” tattooed on my left wrist, why it’s placed there and why I chose those words you’ll never know. Well, until today; I decided with it being one year since I got the tattoo, it was time to share the story behind it, I’m a little nervous but I know it’s time to get this off my chest.

One of those days...

Ever have one of those days where nothing feels right? Where you feel like your hands are tied and you're left feeling overwhelmed with life? A day where you just want to cry your eyes out and go to bed, or worse? Don't say no because truth be told everyone has those days, I am having one as we speak. I wish I could say how to get over it and feel happy but I can't because I don't even know how to do so myself, but what I will do is to tell you to do is listen to this song. Someway, somehow this song always manages to lift my spirits so all I can say is give it a listen.

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence...

Remember that one song that always made you smile when you were younger? The song that always distracted you from everything that was going wrong and everything that caused stress because within those three and a half minutes you were lost and everything was perfect. Now fast forward to today, put that very song on this precise moment, close your eyes and lose yourself within. Lie there and think of how you felt the first time you heard it, remember every emotion you felt and let it take you away.
