❝the scars that screamed of revolutions inside her head and the shards that made up her heart were things that no one saw.❞ suffering from a terrifying eating disorder and from a shattered home, quinn's greatest tormentor is imperfection. her world enveloped in darkness and after the loss of her only friend, she finds herself falling in an abyss of agony...alone. she's the minuscule, unstable sailboat while the world is the mighty ocean, thrusting her about in the rough waters, trying its best to engulf her into its unfathomable depths to make her disappear. quinn yearns to have the "perfect" image just to be finally labeled as "beautiful". the thing is...she can't. she soon finds her sanity slipping, plunging into lunacy. how long will it take till she's completely submerged in the ocean? will she ever see the rays of light? a splintered heart. tainted emotions. darkened words of blood-smeared, unsent letters, written by a girl whose heart had been ripped apart under her damaged skin. a thousand more tears and screams. copyright © 2016 by @fragmentals. all rights reserved. lower case is sometimes used and is intended for stylistic purposes. cover by the wonderful @mikaelstats. #projecteatingdisorders #freeyourbody #visible #projectbrave #projectinsecurities #freementalillness #projectyou #stopthepain #31 in poetry [ 20th November 2016 ]

"Imperfection is a sin, and sinners should get punished"

Fifteen years ago, Elle's boyfriend left town--and Elle--without so much as an explanation. Today, Ephraim has returned with a child: Bren. Bren is clever, quiet, quick, and almost exactly fifteen years old. Offered a miraculous second chance at the relationship they've wanted back for years, Elle instantly takes it, and desperately holds on, no matter what anyone has to say-- not their best friend (who lied to Elle for years), or the student they're counseling (who, again, is not the counselor here), or said student's parents, who may or may not both be Elle's ex-boyfriends.

Life for Aaron Troy has been a version of normal until 'her'. With her short messy hair and wild spirit, she comes out of the blue on a clear night in the middle of a train journey and makes him dive into the sea of uncertainities and chaos, something he has never known before. Wild, free and young. She is Cara Evelyn.

Happy July everyone!! I know for some this means sparks and fireworks especially for all those Cancer/Leo children around. Happy birthday to all!! But in tune with celebrating life and all that it has to offer we would like to take this month to talk about suicide awareness and self harm. Self harm has been an issue that is either whispered in hallways or romanticized in media so much so that its often portrayed as art, beauty. But pain isn't beauty and neither is suffering and this month we take an in-depth look into what it really means to live with scars. We also join forces with @no_suicide for our monthly competition as well as lots of interesting interviews from our Wattpad campaigns where they share their stories with us and what drove them to start their campaigns. From all of us at TheSafeZone remember you are never alone and your life has a purpose!

We definitely do not condone the use of self-harm as a coping mechanism or suicide as a way out. If an article is heavily opinionated, we put a warning. Thank you for reading!

• ONGOING • Yoko Hishinoya was the kind of the girl that kept quiet. The girl that was never noticed. The girl that blended in well with everybody. She slipped through places like a thread slipping through the small holes of a woven piece of fabric. She never felt left out though. The only time she had comfort was when she was in solitude. Till she met funny, humorous and self-fascinating Spencer. He brought her to a different world. A world with her in attention. And for once, she found out how to enjoy it. He made her feel better, a whole person when she was with him. But then, everything changed. Copyright © 2016 by KnightPeyton. All Rights Reserved.

***COVER BY; @obsidianix*** Picture this; You have every mental illness known to man. Well, not every mental illness, but far too many for you to count. Anorexia - Bulimia - Depression - Schizophrenia - Borderline Personality Disorder - Insomnia - Psychosis - Tourette - Bipolar - and far too many more to list. Sounds like hell, right? Well, that's Absinthe Liliani's life. Constantly living past all her near death experiences and suicide attempts, all her delusions and all the voices she heard, all the bullies who push her down and all the doctors who diagnose her. Her life is a nightmare brought to reality. She doesn't even know what it's like to be normal. She looked at herself as normal for the first seven years of her life, until she realizes not everyone is as "dysfunctional" as she is. Still can't get the picture into your head? Well, I guess that you can have a go at seeing the world through Absinthe's eyes...

My anxiety is.... 🦋that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling every time I leave the house 😫that terrible feeling of dread and fear the moment I think I messed up 🚫NOT what defines me👑 "Really, at the end of the day, the only thing you can control is yourself; the only person you can truly educate is yourself. You have to redefine what beauty is to you so you can't be affected by what people are saying." -Rupi Kaur

Okay, I've got this obsession with quotes. Any type of quote. So I'm putting some out there (heads up, a lot will be from Harry Potter) and showing how I connect with them. Feel free to show how you do too or disagree and completely put a downcast on my opinion (Just for those who do, I don't care because everyone has a different opinion and I respect that). So please read, comment, hate, etc! -Kate Ps. Some of his stuff may not even be quotes. It may be random funny pictures I've found, poems I've written(I will never be a poet. I can't write poetry), funny quotes, ranting, and me just journaling randomness.
