Personnal Writings- Truth vs. Lies

Is it better to tell the truth and risk losing someone. Or to lie and protect them.

Personal Writings- Depression Reality

How do you get mad at someone that hurts so badly? Its like digging your nails into an open wound. It already hurts from the initial cut, and now you go back and rip it open. They didnt ask for this to happen, they didnt ask to feel this way. You act like its their fault and take it out on them and in the end you make them hate not only you, but themselves as well. They dont have attitude, they arent mad at you and choosing to show no emotion. They physically cant. To try and put on a smile doesnt feel right, it hurts. They arent mad at you, or anyone else, they are just lost in themselves. That blank stare that you think means theyre ignoring you, is just their lack of emotion. They literally feel nothing. They want to feel happy, they want to feel something besides sorrow, but they just cant.

Personal Writings- Reflection

Walk to your mirror and look at yourself, what do you see? Lets start on the outside. Look into your eyes. Are they bright, filled with life, color, and warmth. Or are they black, filled with lost hope and longing. Now look down to your neck. Is there a necklace around it, given to you by a loved one. Maybe a locket with the faces of those you hold dearest. What about your hands and wrists? Are they torn up and scared, bruised and bashed? Dont put them down, think back to what happened, whats the story, whats the reason, and then embrace it. But now go deeper, how do you feel? Whats wrong? Are you content with yourself, or is there a need for something more. Dont keep it bottled up, share it with the world and tell them how you feel. Are there scares on the inside that only you know exist? Dont conceal them. You arent the only one with these scares, you arent alone. You are beautiful, there is someone who cares, and it will get better. Dont walk away from the mirror, look at your gorgeous self, and promise that youll make an effort to get better. Because at the end of the day, the best medicine is believing in yourself.
