initially because I didn't have a proper bandage. but then because I knew I'd have less to hide or feel guilty about if I just cried instead.

Because I'm nearly at two years ... and I talked to J and she challenged me to make it 3. Best. Reaction. Ever. :pinkstar:

Because God is with me. And I don't need to.

Because I had no access to anything, and also because I distracted myself by reading old texts.

I am better than that, and my body has gone through enough torture without adding more to it. Better to let the emotions flow properly, I am learning that VERY slowly.

I told K that I would make it to the end of 2010...so I have to now....
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.

Becos I could identify where the feeling was in my body.
Becos I listened what the urge was trying to say.
Becos I did art to express it instead.

Last Slip:October 8th 2009

Always say "see you later" never goodbye because goodbye is forever

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie

my place come talk to me

Its no big deal. Break her heart. Let her down.
Make her cry. You love her right? Everything
is fine. Hold her hand. Lead her on. Its no big
deal. She's just a girl.
