I love hanging out with a guy in my dorm. We are together every single day and share a large amount of common interests. Over the past month we have gotten sexual, and he has opened my eyes to the brighter side of sex. Tomorrow he leaves, and I don't want him to at all; I've been dreading it for days. But tonight I am sitting by myself...

Him and I...

I have been getting really close to this guy that I like, but there's a few problems.
1. He likes another girl as well. He had a crush on her and knew her before we met, but then I came along and he developed a hardcore crush for me too.
2. He is leaving on Friday to go back home because our semester is ending and it is summer break. I have a...
So today I was watching TV and an add came on for a new movie coming out, The Raven. One of the clips from the movie showed a girl in a box and it just ripped my heart apart because when I was abused, my abuser told me that if I said anything to anyone he would put me in a box and leave me there and I would die there. I thought that I was over...
So I have been going to counseling lately and I feel really good about it. About three weeks ago I got a tattoo of a light blue heart on my wrist to remind me why I have gone on for as long as I have when I get really depressed or just need something to give me a smile on my face. When I told my dad, he was fine with it. However, when I told my...

Well...frick.

Well, I guess I definitely won't be getting back together with my ex-boyfriend. He felt that he was more important than my finals and that I should text him while I drove home, which I don't approve of. He basically told me to just go away and never talk to him again, so I guess that is that. But I honestly haven't been that sad over...

Are things looking up?

Lately I have been talking with one of my ex-boyfriends. We dated for a year and broke up after he wasn't treating me right. We haven't talked in months, and he has grown up more than I ever imagined he would. I told him about being...(I don't like to say it)...and it made him mad and he was so loving towards me. I loved him, and he...

down... :(

I'm not exactly sure why, but I have been abnormally down lately (well, mainly these past few days). Perhaps it is because I have been quite busy with classes and the guys that I have been around have not exactly been very nice. There is one in particular and it makes me feel really bad because it feels like everything I always do is wrong,...

Paper Time

For my English class, we are supposed to imitate an author's technique, and I am really thinking about doing my topic on abuse, both physical and sexual. I have been reading through a ton of different stories from people on Pandora's Aquarium to get a feel of what a majority of other people feel about their past. I know that I myself have...
Today, for the first time in four years I decided to have a smoothie with my friend. Due to my chronic illness, I developed a small dairy intolerance. It normally doesn't affect me, unless I have an excessive amount of dairy in my system at one time -- eating only cheese, drinking milk, etc. A few hours after I drank the smoothie, I realized...
Today I told my story for the first time, the full story. It feels so weird. I'm relieved, and happy but at the same time I feel so...odd. I feel like I left a piece of my heart in that story; a decayed, dark piece of my heart. Is this what healing feels like?
