Gratitude challenge: Day 23
Day 23: What change last year are you grateful for? I'm grateful that I hate myself less. It's less 'I hate myself', and more 'I hate what I did'. I've noticed that I stop saying, writing and thinking I hate myself when it's about something. What change are you grateful for? Gratitude challenge day 23:…
Who serves whom?
Just a thought. If I use (applies to self harm, ED, anything), who is serving who? Is using serving me, or am I serving using? Really, in my head it goes Do I serve (at the alter of) using, or is using serving me? I find that thought quite sobering. I mean figuratively, but literally,…

Random ramblings 89. Part 1
I don't really know what I want this post to be about. Or what it will be about. Hence the title. My world is a pretty weird place at the moment. And there is a knock on the door. But I'm not sure who is there. I'll go see if it's someone I'm happy to…

Why can't people mind-read? I expect them to. I expect them to know what I think and when they don't give me what I wanted - which I didn't specifically ask for but meant and intended - I'm really hurt and know that they don't care about me at all. Just been journaling and wrote…
