Nightmare on Elm Street

The last 2 nights, I’ve cried myself to sleep because I feel so abandoned. I’ve also been waking up from nightmares. I don’t know what they’re about, I just know I wake up crying and afraid.
I’ve moved into my parents’ back yard. My dad doesn’t know I’m here, he never goes to the back yard. [...]

Don’t waste your time on me

**Warning**
Self-harm trigger warning.
Where are you and I’m so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and [...]

Trust Steadily

I was reading the Bible online at biblegateway.com and I went to 1 Corinthians 13. This is one of my favorite sections of the Bible because it deals with love and I love love. Today I decided to read in the Message, a paraphrased version of the Bible.
It had a section that said:
Love never dies. [...]

Well, This Changes Things

I love long sleeves. They’re so comfortable and warm and welcoming. And these ones are really soft. This is the first time I’ve worn this shirt. It’s a cream and tan striped, hooded, light-weight sweater. None of this really has anything to do with the purpose of my post tonight, but as I was getting [...]

Love, Love Me

A pair of new shoes with matchin’ laces!
A permanent box at Sheepshead races!
A porcelain tub with boilin’ water!
A Saturday night with the mayor’s daughter!

Making Decisions

I ‘m terrible about making decisions. I don’t like doing it, and when I do make one I tend to have trouble sticking to it. Recovery is one of the many decisions that I made all too quickly and then had trouble following through with.
After spending 10 days eating what I only hope was normally [...]

Numbers and Amounts

I have different phases. Sometimes, the amounts of foods I consume scares me. Others, the number of calories scares me. Today, it’s been a little of both. My only meal today was 175 calories, but it was the amount that freaked me out. I had a plate of watermelon pieces and a plate with a [...]

Intake Update

1 Hard candy: 35 calories
Soup: 90 calories
Total:  190
I am loving vegan-ness so far, but it’s only been 2 days.

Centrical

When the toast is burned,
And all the milk has turned
And cap’n crunch is wavin’ farewell.
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don’t serve breakfast, in hell

I don’t know why, but I feel like posting my food consumption. I feel all scattered and keeping track of my food helps me [...]

Narf! Emotions.

I thought I done my duty as a good little blogger. I wrote about my time away, my struggles and joys and hopes for tomorrow. I patted myself on the back and went on to me next blogger role: reading your blogs.
That’s when it all sank in. Damn. Keeping up a front is hard. Being [...]
