You're not alone.

How can you mend a broken heart? + Self harm

[WARNING: This may or may not be triggering. If you're triggered easily, I suggest you close this book and leave, Thank you.]

How do you mend a broken heart? Not just by love, but everything in general.

I believe there's no way for you to mend a broken heart. You just cover it with new memories.

It's like a cut. You cover it with a band aid so it wouldn't get infected.

That's just how broken heart is.

You cover it with new memories and eventually it'll will break again.

If you put a band aid on a cut it'll eventually come off right?

It's like a cycle. You keep covering it with new memories even if you know it will break.

Once it's broken, you cover it again with new memories.

Our life is a cycle. We survive, we break, then we stand up again.

The thing is not everyone knows how to fix their broken heart. [including me]

They're so hurt that they couldn't do it anymore.

We try everything we could do to get the pain away, that one day you'll eventually do something you'll regret.

Something that will leave a scar, and every time you look at it. You'll just remember the past memories that made you do what you did.

We can never forget our pasts. All we do is keep on making new memories.

We have those moments where we break down.

Moments on when you're in the verge of giving up, but then you don't.

You stand up and survive.

Cause that's just how life is.

Life is a challenge.

You fight, you survive, and you live.

Life isn't easy, it never is.

If you want to survive this challenge called life.

Then, you have to believe that nothing will ever be easy.

Let's be honest, all of us had done something that you regret, right?

Cause I have.

I cut.

And I liked it. I thought it helps me, but to be honest? It doesn't.

Self harm doesn't help or save you.

That's just our way of thinking that it's the easy way of surviving.

But no.

That's not surviving.

That's making your life even worse, That's why I'm trying to stop.

Not everyone is strong to stop easily.

Cause it was hard for me.

There's so many ways for you to feel triggered.

And instantly your mind clicks, and it makes you think that having a visit to your little friend cat is the best way to solve everything.

To be honest, I haven't fully stopped yet.

I would always have the urge to take the blade from my drawer and just do it.

But I've always looked at the down side of my life.

I never realized that I have a friend there that's been helping me and making me happy.

I realized that all I had to do was look around.

Look around and see that there's always someone out there that actually cares.

Then maybe that's how we'll all survive our lives.

A lot of us is maybe anti-social, but we should try to look around and see the positive side.

Not everyone will leave you. Cause if everyone did, then I probably don't have a friend right now. A friend that helped me and cheered me up.

If everyone left me, then maybe I might not be here right now.

Hope this helps. xx

There you have it. The first chapter (or whatever) of this book. Now, if you don't know what cat is, it means self harm. Anyway, if you're feeling down feel free to message me. Btw if you don't believe on the things I said, then that's completely fine. Everyone has their different opinions in life. This just happens to be mine. Byee xx
