We had an intelligence test at school and the teacher told me I had “musical intelligence”. I’m very proud of it since I love music so much! I love listening to Eve mostly and I’m trying to learn Japanese because of it. Are there any other Eve fans here? I’d like to know if you have any favorite songs (no matter the…
People should stop judging people based on what they post on social media , messages sent to their friends and family or what insults and jokes they sent to their loved ones specially if it was done illegally without prior consent. They've only seen a 3 second conversation yet they haven't reflected to themselves they…
you were too young
when she clawed her way in
taking over everywhere
whispering everything you think
entering you into the purple tornado of your thoughts
you pull the blanket over your head
trying to block out the noise
all the ideas of pain and blood
slowly following you under your shield
making it harder…
This morning, I had a weird feeling I can't really explain.
It started as how any usual day starts for me: excruciating mental pain. For the first half of the day, I thought I was done for, just like always. I remembered how much I was harassed and how ugly it got, and I thought I was gonna get found by the person…
This might sound a bit silly but really, I kinda need help combating with these weird thoughts
I’ve vented here before, and I really appreciated the support and perspectives others shared. But there’s something I brushed off before, as that was not the central topic of the previous vent and it wasn’t a big enough…

"so go ahead and tell me what I did to deserve this " From Hurtlees by Dean Lewis. 🎵

I'm a sophomore in high school, and I'd consider myself an artist. I have endless ideas for all sorts of things to draw, paint, sculpt, sew, build, you name it. I admit I'm better at drawing and all that than a good amount of people since I've always been interested in art and have been improving my skills and…
Heyah👋🏻😄!!
This dang app doesn't have a movie or TV option... So I clicked on the next best thing outta the options given✨👀.
Maybe I could've picked a medical option, but then the vibes of Apothecary Diaries wouldn't have come across... At least to me it wouldn't🫠.
Anyway... I want more seasons to come…
I don’t know why but these last few days have felt like weeks.
Everything feels longer slower even.
Like it’s moving by inch by inch.
Like a movie that you’re watching while you trying to keep your eyes open.
You’re trying so hard but when you blink for a long moment it’s still on the same scene.…
So on Saturday I went to Solo and Ensemble (music event) (I GOT SUPERIOR) and when I went into the high school's gym to practice my friend W was in there. We started goofing off, and he connected his phone to my speaker I was using for my piano accompaniment and started playing a song called "Brain Implosion Energy".…

Like you've done this before
But you ain't done this before
So don't say, don't say,
Cause nothing will be
okay, okay
Cause you…
All my life, been waging war in my mind, been waiting for something right, been waiting for sun to shine. Apathy, the friend of my enemy. Another blind visionary. I never cry, but I bleed. Tell me, what does it feel like to feel anything again? I know that it takes time, but this never ends, and I'm starting to…
