Closing the curtains.


At times it's something I need. The need to close the curtains, be myself completely and letting all my feelings and thoughts out. The feelings can be pleasant, but they are also sometimes dark. At times I need to let everything in my mind get out. I have really nice neighbours, but it's not all sides of me I want them to see.

It is something I do without a schedual. I don't set a certain day, time or for how long it shall last. It's not difficult for me to write about, but I don't want anyone to see it. Honestly I doubt this will be posted. When I write things it's rarely something I feel I have to publish. I write it for me and if I publish it, it's for me. I wish for others to get a glimpse of my mind.

When I have these moments I start by locking the door, closing the curtains and making sure no one can see me. Sometimes I sit down by the piano and just play whatever my heart want's to play. Sometimes it's cheerfull and sometimes It's dark. I mess around with major and minor chords. The piano is one of my main ways to express myself. 

I might put on some music that reflects my mood, write or uszer on my face, feet and hands. I do what I feel I need to feel good. I might put on some of my vlothes that make me feel how I want to feel and how I want to be. I might cry. I do this if me body tells me to cry. I let my body tell me what to do in these times.

I might watch a movie or several. I might find some shows, tv-series, musical or anything I want to put on. I might also read. All these things are ways for me to escape this reality if I feel a need to do so. The future can be whatever I want, and sometimes it's nice to escape from the present for a short period, in a safe way.

When I do any of these things I can cantact people I want to talk to. I might not tell them I'm doing this, but sometimes it's nive to talk to the people in my life, about whatever. I never lie about what I do. I just don't always tell everything I do to everyone. 

When I've had an evening like this I usually feel renewed or tired. It is a way to refresh my mind. I don't know if this is something you're interested in doing, but as I said I'm not sure if this will be published.

Not perfect

I’m a sensitive person. I’m not afraid to cry. I avoid fighting, unless I’m fighting for people I care about. I can be an intense person. I fall in love fast. I can be shy in certain situations. I can become angry. I struggle with anxiety and depression. I am not perfect - I am me.  We are all different. Love eachother!

Bullied for a lomg time

I was bullied. All through all 10 years of elementary school and all through high school. I was bullied by the cool kids, my friends and the other kids. I was bullied because I was a nerd,my red hair, freckles, my taste of music, the fact I was unable to roll the r’s when speeking. I was not an athletic kid and I was not good at the creative subjects. I was also bullied for being diabetic and when I started losing my sight I was bullied for this as well. Ever since I was a young kid I have had thoughts about death. I was not sure if my life was worth living. I was bullied at school, in my spare time and when the internet was getting common I was bullied there as well. It got so bad we went to the police with links, pictures and pages, all of hurtfull, bullying comments. We never heard anything from the police. This made me question if I had any worth in the world. I thought to myself «The police helps people that’s worth something, so I’m not. I started eating to not feel sad....

Are you prepared to support?

When you have a friend who is sad or depressed it is easy to say that you are there for them. This might be something you say just to comfort them and it might work! But are you prepared if they try to talk to you about what's on their mind? Having a friend who struggles is not easy. You have an important role to either play or pass. Not everyone is emotionally ready to take that role. However if you choose to say that you're there for your friend, you should be ready. It is terrible if your friend has told you you can talk to them, just to meet someone who shows no interest or someone who talks about your problems like if they were insignificant.  You might be in for a ride. They might be really happy, one moment and suicidal the next. Show you want to hear what they have to say. Don't say things like you've been in a worse place, had worse times or like you know exactly how they feel or how it is to be them. These things may lead to your friend not feeling ...
