Hi Jessica!
I am writing to let you know that you have been accepted into ActNow’s Youth Advisory Board – The Incubator.
We really liked your application and would be very excited to have you on board!!
I'm so excited!!!!! This is so incredibly cool for me. Only 15 young people from all over Australia get accepted!
Here is the blurb from the site:
Quote:
Incubators are committees of young people that work with staff to share ideas, create content, and solve problems to build and promote ActNow. Each Incubator term runs for 12 weeks, and consists of 15 people from across Australia. Communication occurs through online forums, and at a 3-day face-to-face workshop in Sydney.
Sooooooo cool!!!! And when i spoke to the chick on the phone she said my application was her favourite and can't wait to have me on board!! WOO! This is my oppurtunity to get young peoples views on self harm and body image out there, and help support information get out there! As well as other things i'm passionate about! One of the things we will do is help with content for the website!
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. I know, right now you can't tell. But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me Unwell - Matchbox 20

As a little kid you believed in fairytales,
that fantasy of what your life would be: white dress; prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.
You closed your eyes and had complete and utter faith.
Eventually you grow up. One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears.
But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairytale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
