March 1st is Self Injury Awareness Day. I started to self-harm when I was 19 and did so regularly until about six years ago. The last time I self-harmed at all was two and a half years ago. I have thought about it since considered doing it even, but I remain self-harm free. Recovery is…
I’m happy. I mean, on occasion I am so ridiculously happy I can’t actually handle it. Recently I’ve been so happy I’ve cried. I’d like to point out that depression isn’t about being unhappy.

Well, yeah, duh, it meant I didn’t have to…
I both love and hate crying. Actually, love is too strong a word (hate is not). I do not love the headache I get, or the snotty nose. I do not love the rest cheeks or the puffy eyes. I don’t even like these things. What I do like it the release of tension, the…
Me at any given time, not just when writing. So a little while ago I wrote a post about fanfiction, that was a nice rant about why fanfiction isn’t shit or inferior. And how I write and read a lot of fanfiction. And always will. In fact, over the past few months, I’ve been writing…
