Negativity is a horrible poison that we knowingly pour into our teacups each morning. We beat ourselves up, and tear ourselves down, but why? We are born to love: we love the flowers beneath our shoes, and the the friends we hold dear. It's time to give some of that love to yourself

The FOURbidden
Sometimes we're scared of our own stories. Sometimes we're brave enough to tell them. Sometimes we can't move forward. Sometimes we are forced to. Sometimes people wish they were in our shoes. Sometimes they think we like what we have. Sometimes they envy us. Sometimes they destroy us. Sometimes we destroy them. And most of the time we are the destruction.Complete

Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete
