“It started to build up, and it got to a very dark place….it got to a point where it boiled over, and I was on my bike ride, and I rode over to the bridge, and I got off my bike, and I looked down, and I was this close to jumping over the edge, and I got a phone call from a buddy of mine that just simply said, 'Wassup man, you want to come hang out? I was just thinking about you.' And that phone call, I tell him to this day, that phone call probably saved my life.” -Matt Milano

I woke up today I almost stayed in bed Had the devil on my back And voices in my head Some days, it ain't all bad Some days, it all gets worse Some days, I swear I'm better off Layin' in that dirt -Jelly Roll There are voices in my head.I try to drown them out.But some days I want to stay in bed....

I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul. By: Radiohead What is the expense of complete control?I have twisted myself into knots.Completely sucked the joy out of life.As my grip tightens, the thread gets shorter.I have accepted utter misery for the sake of a facade....

Whatsoever I've feared has come to lifeAnd whatsoever I've fought off became my lifeJust when everyday seemed to greet me with a smileSunspots have faded, now I'm doing timeNow I'm doing time.

My imagination runs rampant. Images I cannot control. I fear myself. By: Millie It is hard to find peace when chaos brews inside of me.I can’t run and I can’t hide.I just want to feel free.The anxious thoughts tether me to this moment.And I try to cut the cord that has me frozen in the past....

A big question that blows my mind. How can you think without thinking? Feel without feeling?

you’re not the kind of girl that’s ever bleeding but you are the kind of bitch always in pain and you wonder when you got the wounds as you are never injured always fine. made up of aches and pains and sores that aren't so bad but look really nasty broken bones that never break the skin.

“That I can let go and just trust the universe. I am doing my part for sure, but I don’t have to maintain all these old ideas about who I am, what I should be doing, and where I am going. I am a good, kind and loving person”. By Annabelle Lennox I was raised to avoid my feelings and pretend that they didn’t exist....

You said that self-respect comes from witnessing yourself becoming true to your higher self. You were sick, you needed help, and you needed to earn your self-respect back. Self-respect can only be earned through a genuine psychic shift in seeing the things you want to manifest and seeing the things you don’t want passed up. By: Mingjie Zhai I have gradually become a person I do not identify with; some parts are still familiar, like my weird sense of humor, analytical mind, and insecurity masked by a people pleasing anxiety....

Every wound heals eventually. The scars map how far you have come.. You are strong in your weakness, darling. You have tried to take up the smallest amount of space But, darling, you are a mighty presence One that can’t be contained. By K.E.A Your thoughts become your reality. This is one thing I know with complete certainty. There are cracks in my facade, a bag full of insecurities, quirks and flaws that make me cringe....

I am having an internal revolution. Shed the weight. Purge the toxins. I am living a life I create rather than a life that happens to me. In the past, it indirectly created a life that I suffered and strived through. Now, it’s a life I live inside myself and outward. I have to be kinder to myself in every way possible....

The possibility that I have invented for myself and my life is the possibility of being free. To be an independent woman who gets to fall in love with myself. Who gets to learn who I am and live a life where my heart is whole and where my heart is healed. I get to see the beauty in life again....
