But they dont tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.The only thing standing between me and total happiness is reality.True strength is holding it together when everyone else would understand if you fall apart.The only thing worse then being hated is being ignored. At least when they hate you they treat you like you exist.There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around.She could shut out the whole world, including herself.Our scars have the power to remind us that the past is real.Sometimes I feel like no one cares. Sometimes I feel like no one is there. Sometimes I want to kill myself. Sometimes I think I need some help. Sometimes I feel like Im alone. Sometimes Im in an empty zone. Sometimes I feel like Im not alive. Sometimes I wonder if Im deprived. Sometimes I think the world should end. Sometimes I think I have no friends. Sometimes I want to make them see that sometimes I wish I wasnt me¦Im so broken. not half full, not half empty, not ever cracked. Im just broken. I cant exist anymore. I can barely function. theres nothing left to me. and I dont care.Cutting is a stepping stone for me. All my life I have been put through so much emotional pain and ive let myself just sit and drown in it. I cant physically or emotionally do it anymore. So I cut. It temporarily takes my pain away until I am able to remove myself from all feeling. I am detached from everything right now¦ I am numb.Please dont blame yourself for any of the stupid shit that I choose to do. None of this is your fault. Im the one who makes these bad decisions so Im the one who pays the consequences.They didnt know that she was planning something. Most people thought she was perfectly fine. She was good at pretending¦but some people knew she wasnt okay but they didnt realize how bad it was. She would party every weekend. She was border line alcoholic rarely going 48 hours without being 100% sober. She tried finding comfort in anything even if that meant fucking some guy she just met one night while she had been drinking. Everyday was going by as a blur. They didnt know that she cried herself to sleep every night. They didnt know that she had practiced cutting herself so many times. They didnt know that she had written and rewritten letters to all the people she cared about most telling them she loved them and apologizing. She even wrote one to the person who was most important to her, who wouldnt understand what had happened because she was to young. She wanted her to know it wasnt her fault and she loved her dearly. They just didnt know. They found her surrounded¦ in her own blood. They finally knew¦ they finally realized that she really wasnt okay and the rumors, and the fake friends, and the guys who liked her for all the wrong reasons, and the family, and the lies, and the unperfect body that she saw that everyone else thought was close to perfect, had gotten to her. She finally had the courage to press down hard enough¦ and they finally knew that she planned this.Its not how tragically we suffer but how miraculously we live.Life and death are balanced on the edge of a razor.Im not gonna give a fuck anymore¦ If you hurt me, Im gonna hurt you. Thats how its gonna be from now on¦How can you hide from what never goes away?One morning you wake up afraid to live.Theres a smile on my face but I dont know why its there¦ I put it on to satisfy all the people that dont even care.Im often silent when I am screaming inside.The deepest people are the ones whove been hurt the most.Someone once asked me, Why do you always insist on taking the hard road? I replied, Why do you assume I see two roads?Wear a mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes. The debt we pay to human guile, with torn and broken hearts, we smile.Sometimes I feel like nobody has held me down and forced me to cry or made me hug them, or seen to the inside of me. I just say oh Im fine and walk away. Nobodys ever said to me no youre not.Do you ever get that feeling where you dont want to talk to anybody? You dont want to smile and you dont want to fake being happy. But at the same time you dont know exactly whats wrong either. There isnt a way to explain it to someone who doesnt already understand. If you could want anything in the world it would be to be alone. People have stopped being comforting and being along never was. At least when youre alone no one will constantly ask you what is wrong and there isnt anyone who wont take I dont know for an answer. You feel the way you do just because. You hope the feeling will pass soon and that you will be able to be yourself again, but until the",

On New Year’s Eve, a woman was bungee jumping, the cord broke, she fell into a river and had to swim back to land in crocodile-infested waters with a broken collarbone. Claire Champlin was smashed in the face by a five-pound watermelon being propelled by a slingshot. Mathew Brobst was hit by a javelin. David Striegl was actually punched in the mouth by a kangaroo. The most amazing part of these stories is when asked about the experience they all smiled, shrugged and said “I guess things could’ve been worse.” So go ahead, tell me you’re having a bad day. Tell me about the traffic. Tell me about your boss. Tell me about the job you’ve been trying to quit for the past four years. Tell me the morning is just a townhouse burning to the ground and the snooze button is a fire extinguisher. Tell me the alarm clock stole the keys to your smile, drove it into 7 am and the crash totaled your happiness. Tell me. Tell me how blessed are we to have tragedy so small it can fit on the tips of our tongues. When Evan lost his legs he was speechless. When my cousin was assaulted she didn’t speak for 48 hours. When my uncle was murdered, we had to send out a search party to find my father’s voice. Most people have no idea that tragedy and silence often have the exact same address. When your day is a museum of disappointments, hanging from events that were outside of your control, when you feel like your guardian angel put in his two weeks notice two months ago and just decided not to tell you, when it seems like God is just a babysitter that’s always on the phone, when you get punched in the esophagus by a fistful of life. Remember, every year two million people die of dehydration. So it doesn’t matter if the glass is half full or half empty. There’s water in the cup. Drink it and stop complaining. Muscle is created by lifting things that are designed to weigh us down. When your shoulders are heavy stand up straight and call it exercise. Life is a gym membership with a really complicated cancellation policy. Remember, you will survive, things could be worse, and we are never given anything we can’t handle. When the whole world crumbles, you have to build a new one out of all the pieces that are still here. Remember, you are still here. The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour and each pulse, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy, engraved with the words “You are still alive.” You are still alive. So act like it.”",

Almost always there is someone sitting on a barstool, trying to talk to her. Everyone likes Tamina. Because she knows how to listen to people. But is she really listening? Or is she merely looking at them so attentively, so silently? I don't know, and it's not very important. What matters is that she doesn't interrupt anyone. You know what happens when two people talk. One of them speaks and the other breaks in: \"It's absolutely the same with me, I...\" and starts talking about himself until the first one manages to slip back in with his own \"It's absolutely the same with me, I...\" The phrase \"It's absolutely the same with me, I...\" seems to be an approving echo, a way of continuing the other's thought, but that is an illusion: in reality it is a brute revolt against a brutal violence, an effort to free our own ear from bondage and to occupy the enemy's ear by force. Because all of man's life among his kind is nothing other than a battle to seize the ear of others. The whole secret of Tamina's popularity is that she has no desire to talk about herself. She submits to the forces occupying her ear, never saying: \"It's absolutely the same with me, I...”",

We did not get a balanced perspective of the world and relationships, and some of us got a distorted view of where we stood in relation to the rest of the world. We felt (and many of us still do) less than. In order to make up for that, we learned to exaggerate and lie and blow our accomplishments way out of proportion in order to feel of some value. To succeed, we have to stop thinking we are less than other people. We tell ourselves we are not unworthy, inadequate, or unable to cope fully with life’s problems. We begin to see the glass as half full instead of half empty. We have to get rid of feelings of inability before we can make progress. As we learn more about how false pride has held us back from our full potential, we remember, “If we change our thoughts, we can change ourselves.”",
