#pretending

LIVE

I wonder what it feels like to look in the mirror and not totally hate what you see.

Selfharm:

You see it as them hurting themselves too much. They see it as never hurting enough.

Anorexia:

You see it as them just being skin and bones. They see it as a huge number on the scale.

Bulimia:

You see it as too many trips to the bathroom. They see it as “I ate too much”.

Suicide:

You see it as unexpected and surprising. They see it as the only option.

Society taught me that no matter what size I am, I will never be good enough. I’ll always be too skinny, too fat, too short, too tall, too this, too that…

What are your best talents?

  • Pretend to be happy
  • Pretend to be okay
  • Pretend to be strong
  • Pretend like I can do it
  • Pretend like I’m not in pain
  • Pretend like it’s not a big deal

I wonder how many times we forgive someone just because we don’t want to lose them even if they don’t deserve our forgiveness.

“I use humour to cover up the fact that I want to jump off a bridge.”

- being suicidal

I hate becoming replaced. It hurts so much and it doesn’t matter how often it happens you never get used to it because it’s so fucking painful.

Someone: What does it feels like?

Me: Like drowning. But not like real drowning in water or similar. It’s more like drowning in your own mind, in your own thoughts and your self-destructive addicts.

It’s sad to think that the majority of my teenage years were spent trying to survive rather than actually living.
