E you are a lovely lady, I've always known that. On behalf of Sprite and all, welcome. And thanks for the tea and group hug.

Quote by Rosepetals
That is a great idea, Sprite. Thank you. To me, there are still monsters in my life. They died, but still hold the power they had over me.
I haven't processed everything yet, so I still feel these horrible feelings I've kept down.
I was sober for a long time but the triggers I felt made me drink again and start taking edibles.
I don't feel safe a lot and so now I'm more paranoid than ever. Fuck!! Lol
I have to find a way to get my power back.
I was made never to tell as a child, and now that I have, I can still feel the warnings I was given, what would happen to me if I told.

We've got Grace now, Sweetie, they all should fear us.
You can always talk to us babes. Nothing bad will ever come from that, we're here for you. I can definitely relate to the drinking part. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that it makes some of these things worse? That said it also blocks everything out for a few hours and makes it all stop for a time and it's often the lesser of two evils. I've gone so long now without using it to cope. I fear one day something will happen and I won't be able to handle it and buy a bottle of wine. It would be a downhill spiral for me from there. I hope it never does. I like to think that because I have this place to come to, someone would reach out to me as they always have before because this is such a beautiful place full of strong, beautiful people. We'll always catch you when you fall too; we'll catch each other.
Big hugs xo

Quote by GraceW
I am down this morning. I thought I would talk to my friends here and celebrate how fortunate I am.
My fortune is many fold. First, I'm not depressed often, nor deep. Later today, or at worst not until tomorrow, when asked "How are you, Grace?" I'll reply "Same as usual, happy and horny." And it will be true. I'm almost always happy, and I'm almost always horny. What can I say? I'm a tart.
I'm a tart and that is my second fortune. I love being me. I'll screw almost any woman who offers, and I will do all in my power to make her happy, make her scream. I can only do it in cyberspace these days, but I can do it.
My third fortune is you wonderful people, some of whom, as we speak, may be in worse shape than I. No, that is not my fortune. I don't gain by being less fucked up, depressed or whatever, than you. It makes me sad that I'm not helping you now. I'm fortunate though that through my scribblings I am sometimes able to help someone here. Probably not much, but it is my fervent hope that every little bit helps.
So, my beautiful friends, I found this thread by chance the other day. That too is my fortune.
Hugs and kisses to you all. Yes, even those with penises. I may regret it later, but for now I figure it can't hurt. Much.
Quote by kiera
I just saw this on FB and thought it might be helpful here. It's so true, I'm not much of a talker, but I can write or text. I struggle to get the words out if I am face to face with someone.
Did you know that if you text when you are feeling really depressed, a crisis counsellor will text with you? Many people don't like talking on the phone & find it difficult to open up to friends and family. Some people would be more comfortable texting. It's a service run by Samaritans. Please copy, paste & pass on (rather than sharing). You never know who might be needing it. #ItsOkNotToBeOk #mentalhealthawareness
*hugs* for you all xo

today's my birthday...
birthdays are hard for me. my 21st bday i was and beaten by my boyfriend at the time. every year i think, this one, i'm going to be ok. i'm past that. it's just a distant memory. and every year i wake up and it hits me like a freight train. this year is no different. woke up, wandered out to the living room and now... just can't stop the flood of tears. it hurts deep inside. i take solace that the rest of the year, it really is a fuzzy memory that i rarely think about, but today of all day... *shrugs* have to pull it together before i ruin anyone else's day...

doing better. yesterday turned out ok, with some rough patches, and actually ended up on a magical note. a lot of people here reached out, either here, or in PMs and BBs - didn't really feel like socializing yesterday, but i did catch everything and i want you to know that all the love made a huge difference, so thank you - i'm going to try to reach out to everyone one i feel up to it, but yeah, it meant a lot to it - you guys are all superstars. love all of you. i am humbled. You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by GraceW
I have an idea. Today is your 18th birthday. Think you can handle that? I'm betting that was a nice day. Have it again.
Later I will cuddle you and stroke your hair and whisper sweet nothings until you fall asleep, then I'll tuck you in and let myself out.
thanks for the lovely cuddes, btw. hope i didn't talk in my sleep or drool too much... love you. :) You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Lokis_Sidekick
First and foremost, No one should have to live with that. The things we "humane" people do to each other. Give yourself all the time you need. Fuck all else.
Second, You don't have that much power to make or break someone else's day. That is THEIR choice, out of your control, and none of your responsibility.
As a death camp survivor pointed out. there is always something positive to be found in every day. A sunrise, a bird's song, something. After you take your time to deal, go find your something.
one thing i remind myself at times is, you really don't have to do much, or say much to make a difference in someone's life. sometimes you just have to remind them that people care about them. this is a reminder that it works. You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by kiera
I fucking love you, you know that, right? *hugs you so tight*
I'll stay online message me back ok.

so glad you wandered in here - hope you know what kind of a difference you make in so many lives. i saved you a cupcake. You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Hey Sprite, hope you know that you never ruin anyone's day, you're "ours" and we adore you just as you are. Always here for you! Hit me up as needed please!
thanks for everything. not even sure what to say here. You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by sprite
i know that. i never forget it. thank you for being my friend. it's the best gift anyone could ask for.
Can't wait for movie night. Can I hide my face in your boobs when the sea serpent tries to eat her? It's scary
