The Bigger Person
I think it’s timeFor a change, don’t you?I’ve been taking forToo long.It’s time for me to give.Can I be the personFor youThat you wereFor me?Can I be yourShoulder to cry on?Person to talk to?A safe place?I want to care for youThe way you showed me.If that means being theBigger person,The mamma,Older?I don’t mind.On the contrary-I want that chance.To not think about myselfFor once.Because maybeI was madeTo help.If I can’t help myself,So be it.If I can help you,Hold you,Care for you,Will you giveMe that chance?I understand,Trusting is hard.It can hurt.But healing is a cost.It can be painful.But in the end, isn’t itWorth the pain?You don’t haveTo say yes.Things can stay howThey are, and maybeContinue toGet better.But, my mindset hasChanged.I’m going to tryAnd be the bigger personSometimes.Not all the time-Nobody can keep thatUp forever.They weren’t meant to.Life is a burden.There are joys inThe world,And also sorrows.Both to numerousTo count.But everyone stillNeeds that olderPersonSometimes.My life is a book.Sorrow is spread acrossParagraphs.Joy is in the margins.It’s small, yet still there.This book of my lifeIs held and balancedBy many hands.Your hands are there.My family’s.Other friends.The point is,Everyone has peopleHelping to holdTheir book.Their life.I myselfAm helping to holdMany books.The more I hold,The better I learn to holdMy own book.The bigger my impact is.I want to changeThe world.Will you let meHold a part of your book?A part of who youReally are?~ Stick 5-10-24 -

Who are we
But the nameless?
The faceless?
The lost,
Directionless,
Hopeless...
Do we know who we are?
Do we care to know
Who we are?
If we found out,
Would we be happy?
Would we just go back to
The repetitive motion
Of drawing the knives across taunt skin?
Of watching red
Drip
From flesh.
We don't know who we are.
What we're here for.
We're going through the motions.
Just you and I.
Together, and yet alone
In this big, empty world.
Someone to confide in.
Someone to hurt.
The thing we live inside,
Yet hate.
Is this who we were meant to be?
This... thing?
This bloody
Battered
Tired
Lonely
Thing?
Who are we?
What is wrong with us?
What is so undesirable about
Us?
What did we do?
Did we ever
Have a purpose?
We've done things...
Shameful things.
We don't regret them...
Necessarily...
But sometimes
We wish the outcome would have been
Different.
We wish we were different.
But...
We are different.
Unlike everyone else.
Too weird and messed up
Too dangerous
A mistake.
No like the others
At all.
So we go on.
Somehow
Just existing.
-
*hugs*
”Nuh uh. You’re no mistake”
”Maybe you are different, but is that really a bad thing? I mean have you seen what people are like nowadays?”
Lemme make a list:
SpoilerStealing stuff from schools
Road Rage
Constantly. Storming. Swearing. Dude I know 6th graders (now 8th graders) who literally were swearing worse than drunken sailors because I suck at basketball.
A lot of other things

Things are complicated.
I’m lost.
what else is new.

Lost is an interesting word, though definitely one I'm guilty of using often. I've started replacing that word with another one. "Directionless." Lost implies a path -or destination- exists. I'm not sure I feel that.
That alone is complicated.

Oh my gosh, guys...

Do you ever think Spotify is spying on you?!
Well, I do.
They randomly played Tattoos by Citizen Soldier for me this afternoon.
If you haven't heard this song, it made me cry so many tears.
Go listen to it.
Before you read the rest of this.
I'm about to be a bit... vulnerable, so don't read if you don't care.
Please.
SpoilerSo, some of you might have been able to guess from my writing and some of the things I've posted here, but... I've been struggling with self-harm since September 2023. I'm not asking for pity. I don't need that. Do I know what I need? No. Have I gotten better? Not yet. We're working on it.
Now, I know for a fact that I'm not the only one on this website that struggles with this and I know sure as hell I'm not the only one in the world who struggles with this. I want you to know that you aren't alone. I'm willing to share more of my story if you PM me. Or don't. It's okay.
My scars, every single one, are apart of my story, and I'm trying not to hide anymore. It's hard. But we're still trying. That's what matters.

’S not pity, at least not from me. It’s more of a extreme desire not to let someone else I know cause themselves harm.
We love you too Stick

not allowed to have phone so no help if I need it in don't like tent,
with people who don't accept me and who I've only know for a few months with no phone in don't like tent,
has to dress up like an 18th century woman in 80 degree weather with people and no phone in don't like tent,
has to stay for three days in hot clothing and hot weather with people and no phone in don't like tent.
So... I'm not going to be online until Saturday night ish EST.

BUT!
I'm being a child at 11:00 my time
Chillin' on my bed at the rental house in my pajamas and watching Soul Surfer.
Snuggled in my blanket.
Does it get more iconic than that?
The answer is yes.
It does when Veil is here.
But she's not, so I'm being iconic all by myself.
