But I guess the nice thing about driving a car is that the physical act of driving itself occupies a good chunk of brain cells that otherwise would be giving you trouble overloading your thinking. New scenery continually erases what came before; memory is lost, shuffled, relabeled and forgotten. Gum is chewed; buttons are pushed; windows are lowered and opened. A fast moving car is the only place where you’re legally allowed to not deal with your problems. It’s enforced meditation and this is good.

| self harm: | is not an attention seeking phase. it is an addiction. |
|---|---|
| eating disorders: | are not a fashion statement. They are addictions and disorders that slowly kill the individual struggling with it. |
| suicide: | is not the cowards way out. it becomes the last option only when someone feels that there is nothing left. but thats not true, there is always something new to try. keep trying new things until you find the one thing that distracts your thoughts. |
| depression: | is not just feeling sad one day. it is debilitating. you feel like the world is crushing you down and even getting out of bed takes so much energy, it becomes a miracle when you get dressed in the morning. |
| anxiety: | is not being rude to people around you. some people just dont like being touched or around crowds, please respect that. |
| bipolar: | isnt just mood swings. |
| mpd/did: | isnt made up. it is caused by severe trauma. usually childhood sexual abuse. |
| abuse: | it is never ever your fault. please tell someone before it gets worse, so that the person hurting you doesnt hurt someone else. |
| rape: | clothes a person wear dont cause rape. rape isnt exclusively male on female, males can rape males, females can rape females, and females can rape males. never blame the victim. |
| if you or someone you knows struggles with any of these things, please know that i am here for you. i want to help you as much as i can. i want you to know that you arent alone, other people understand. my ask is always open, feel free to leave me a message if you ever need to talk. | |
| stay strong and hold on. life gets better. |

When you lose someone, it feels like the hole in your gum when a tooth falls out. You can chew, you can eat, you have plenty of other teeth, but your tongue keeps going back to that empty place, where all nerves are still a little raw.

Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people.
