Over at my friend Liz's house there is a foton next to her bed. Liz always tucks me in and sometimes rubs my back. her and her parents have always taken me in when I'm kicked out or run away so it's a place where I feel safe, like a shelter. If it's not weird to say, I love her!
*Challenges welcome*
I always love a :lpurpstar:

I woke up this morning, I suddenly realized we're all in this together.

Drop by my place & say hi :)
Ask me anything!!!

I'm fully Recovered!

At home, alone, door locked and curtains shut and with my computer.

Or if I'm out, sometimes having a person I know well right next to me makes me feel safe.

the closest I get to feeling safe is when I'm with my mum

the closest I have felt to being safe is in my bed curled up under my covers, when some people hug me, and when I am holding my dog

Being with friends, hugs, and when somebody give me a compliment i can actually believe

statistice dnt help you with your future
they only tell u were youve been

Hugs are always welcome :D
