Everything is one after the other, and just when you think you have it bad, it just gets worse. If I’m being honest, this is the lowest my life has been, both inside and out. At least when I was 14 and depressed, it was fully internal, but now there are bad things coming at me from everywhere. The world gave me a reason to feel this way, even though I wasn’t asking for it. Now I don’t know how to... » Continue Reading
Stuff has happened since my last blog post which I don’t think I have the energy to document, but there’s always been one constant: my best friend. I’ve always appreciated her and loved having her by my side, and it’s unfortunate that I never remember to mention that to anyone, even her. But my birthday is coming up and she gave me a gift that surprised me. She commissioned someone to draw me in ... » Continue Reading
I finally did what I thought couldn’t be done: I left home. It was a long time coming, honestly, but it was a weird way to leave. My family left me at home alone for an hour and when they got back, I was gone. I packed my things and left. I cried a lot afterwards. I cried as I packed, I cried in the car ride to my friend’s house, I cried all the way until I had a gig. It was such a heartbreaking... » Continue Reading
So I’m in a band. Honestly, that’s not surprising. Many alternative people are in bands, and even less surprising is that I’m the bassist. We just had our second gig tonight and I had so much fun. Getting the compliments afterwards and people cheering me on made me feel so fulfilled. I love music and I’ve been wanting to be in a band since I was 13, and now I’ve achieved it. It’s a sense of happi... » Continue Reading
It’s almost midnight, so you already know what’s coming: treating the internet like a diary. Today’s topic is the terrible, terrible mind I’m living in. I know I said all that stuff about hope that other day, but that’s kind of fizzled out, and with its exit comes a new sense of dread. Everything sucks for everyone. All the people I hold close to me are struggling and all I wanna do is make it ok... » Continue Reading
CW: Depressing stuff I’m back to over sharing on the internet, because it’s midnight and I have thoughts. It’s been an interesting experience being me these past few weeks. Well, I don’t know if you can say interesting , but more so depressing. My mental health hit a new low and it’s affecting so many parts of my life. Just last week, I had left campus in tears, not for any particular reason. I ... » Continue Reading
I’m feeling incredibly restless. I suppose it’s no shocker because I haven’t been able to sleep well these past few days anyway. But it’s so obvious now that I’m actually trying to adjust my schedule. My counsellor said to sleep no later than 10:30 so I can train my body enough to start attending my classes again, but here I lay, 20 minutes past midnight, not even a wink in sight. To make matters... » Continue Reading
