I can feel myself sinking into one of my really sad phases. This would probably be the ideal time for me to message a friend and talk and tell them I’m not doing okay and I need them to be around. But of course I won’t do that cuz I don’t want to be a burden. Shit, why do I do this to myself!? Sometimes I wish people were mind readers and were just there when I needed them to be without having to ask but that’s stupid so oh well. I’ll just deal with my shit.

Awards!!!
I got nominated for a few awards and I finally decided to do them! Sorry it took me so long to get to them!

The last award is the The Spirit Animal Award for which I was nominated by JB McPayne . His blog is really cool and definitely worth checking out! Thank a ton for the nomination!
So the rules are:
1. Post the award picture on your blog.
2. Write a short paragraph about yourself and what your blog means to you.
3. If you could be any animal, what would you be?
4. Pick ten nominees.
Umm I’m very bad at writing these kind of things but I’ll try. I’m 17 years old. I love to read and write and paint. I’m a really quiet person unroll I’m comfortable with you, then I become the most talkative person on earth. I find it difficult to express my thoughts to a lot of people. I guess that’s why this blog is so important to me. It’s a way of letting my thoughts out and be heard. I dream of someday being a writer and going to new york city. I’m a huge dreamer.
If I could be any animal, I think of be an owl. Probably becuase I stay up almost all night! Also, I’d read somewhere that owls are like symbolically or metaphorically or something keepers of ancient secrets and I love that! So yeah.
Okay so my nominations are –
Arielle – My life and a Journal
Chloe Lauren – Diary of a Lonely Girl
So you guys are under no compulsion to accept but if you want to then go ahead! You can do any/all of the awards, it’s up to you! 🙂
Mental Disorders are not a joke!
I am so upset right now. I recently came across a picture showing a girl wearing a t shirt with Kurt Cobain’s suicide note printed on it (See here) Also, another thing that I saw around Christmas was a sweater that said OCD – Obsessive Christmas Disorder (See here and here). Both these things anger me so much because they treat mental disorders and suicide as a joke!
Why would you want to wear a suicide note? Suicide isn’t a laughing matter! It’s a really serious issue and making a joke of it like this only makes people who are suicidal feel worse and it trivializes the seriousness of the issue. And same goes about making a joke about OCD! It’s a serious disorder that people suffer from. Everywhere people keep saying “I’m so OCD” and “I’m so depressed!” Well firstly you can’t be OCD, that like saying I’m so cancer! You can have OCD but you shouldn’t be saying that unless you actually have the disorder! And being depressed and being sad are different things so unless you actually have depression, please don’t say “I’m so depressed” Mental illnesses make people’s lives hell. They are not something to be laughed about. Joking about it is beyond insensitive!
I see so many posts on social media which romanticize and glamorize eating disorders and depression and all mental disorders, honestly! It’s so upsetting because people’s lives get ruined because of these disorders and other people are just laughing and joking about it.
So yeah, basically we need to stop joking about mental disorders and actually create awareness about them!
Also, Em wrote a post about this issue very recently and you can find it here.
Also, I tried to be careful and not make errors in this post and offend anyone or anything and this post was written with the sole purpose of creating awareness but if I made a mistake somewhere, I would love to know it so I can correct myself. Thank you!
