Thoughts Left Unspoken

"I'm okay...it'll all be okay...just breathe"

'Ah, to be one of the people living in the teeny tiny houses I spy along the seafront from my seat on the bus...I can't ever imagine awaking unhappy if that was waiting for me each and every morning'

"...In that moment I truly felt like an outsider, an imposter, no matter how their kind hearted words told me that was far from true, no matter how much past proof showed me otherwise"

"Why remind me of your perfection when I know I will never amount to it?....I'm trying to be friend material, girlfriend material, enough for everyone but I'm tired of trying to meet the expectations of others"

TRIGGER WARNING: Body Dysmorphia/Self-Loathing/Anti-Body Positive/Low Self-Esteem/Eating Disorder (remember all bodies are beautiful, no matter what we or others think) "Who could ever want me? Who could ever love me? If there ever was any beauty there, I can't see it"

"I have a tendency to overlove..."

"I like to say I don't care...but reality is, I care too much"

"Since my first heartbreak, I have begun to build a barricade for the shattered pieces of my heart, my best attempt at protecting what's left of my dignity and soul..."

"I wrote you a love letter today....so read it, my love, and know as you do so, you're holding a piece of my heart"

"To all the people I loved, thank you for guiding me to the one I love today"

"Eventually, after some cursing, I am opening the door to my new home for the next three days. And with a thud, my bags drop to the floor"

"I cannot help but gasp and smile at the serene beauty of this place, feeling like I have well and truly discovered Paradise on Earth"

" And the world is left to question all those blind, to the toll of illnesses in the mind"

"Alcohol coursing through my veins, my eyes fill with tears as the anxiety-ridden tornado tears through my mind..."

"Autumn is here, and it is truly glorious"

"They didn't warn me about depression. I was left to figure it out, on my own"
