The girl I was talking to yelling out "EDWARD IS SO MUCH BETTER!" during the middle of class when we were supposed to be "discussing" the book we're reading.
2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
My bouyfriend, despite the fact I've been a totally hysterical mess all day xx Oh and Sara Lee gataux, hot chocolate and a bath (run by my lovely guy) xx
Play the game out
Amor Vincit Omnia

"Sometimes life sucks but you have to keep smiling. That's all I'm trying to do right now. Everyone, smile. Smile till your face hurts and laugh until your sides ache. Feel those tears of happiness run down your face."
The only time you will find real light is when you're searching in the dark..
To all of you that may or may not need something to cheer you up today, as someone who had a lot of "dark" days in the past couple of months, I'd like to suggest my recipe for a smile.
I know one thing doesn't change anything....but remember when you were little? When something as small as your parents buying the cookies you really love, or the perfect sunny day in the summer, just made your life brighter?
I am reading a book, and this book is...it's the essence of the summer, the way you see it when you're a kid and you're waiting the whole school year just for those 3 month when you're free. It's written as if a kid wrote it, mentioning all these thing that to an adult mean nothing, and to a kid every single one of them is a whole new world.
To everyone out there that needs to find a reason to smile, this book is pure magic, I've never read a book before that would so completely remind me of the way I use to see the world when I was little. In fact, I am still reading it.
The book is "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury, I suggest it to everyone.

"It's astonishing, numbing, to find out that inside you, there is a stranger. One that has your arms, your legs, your eyes. A sleepless, restless stranger, who keeps walking, keeps eating, keeps living..." The Brave OneMovie(2007)
We are male and female. We are artists, athletes, and students. We have depression, PTSD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, or maybe no diagnosis at all. Some of us were abused, some not. We come from all walks of life and can be any age. We are every race or religion that you can think of. Our common link is this: We are in pain. We self-injure. And we are not freaks.
