She crawled around in the dark, trying aimlessly to find her bearings in the ever spinning surroundings. Blinded, she fell hard to the ground when a table seemed to take a sharp turn left. Nonetheless, she kept crawling. She found a door and pried it open with her foot, dragging herself out of the room. She found … Continue reading Hope

You can find most of this information in the introduction and much more will be revealed through my posts however I will give a brief intro. I am 19, have been suffering from severe mental health issues since 10 and am writing this blog both because I love writing and also because it is a way for me to express myself. Unfortunately I still suffer strongly from anorexia, self-harm, anxiety issues, insomnia and depression.

Why
There is no doubt simpler, yet somehow more complicated, than why. A single word, sketched into your subconscious, torturing you and threatening to bring out what you have spent your entire existence running from. A question so banal yet buried so profound in your soul; suffocated by the demons who have taken over, running amok and wreaking havoc … Continue reading Why

The Glass Palace
She worked so hard. Years of endurance and pain, just to be able to breathe; just to be able to live. All that was and all that had been, safely locked up into little boxes. Tucked away where it couldn’t be found. Things were better, she could move on. She forgot about it all, the … Continue reading The Glass Palace
