"These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense."

— Frank Iero


Never turn your back on what you do best. Just don't. That is probably the worst mistake you could ever make. It'll make you crumble to pieces if you try. Trust me, I know. So, for me? Please keep working on your art, your talent. Because it is our last defense....

I try not to cut. I really do. But it is days like this when I feel like I just can't go on. When I cut it shows me just an ounce of the pain I would give people if I did commit suicide. I don't wish any of that pain on them. Yet, here I am, remaining miserable.I don't know what to do. I try to figure out solutions: quit reading a certain kind of book, stop hanging out with that one person, take a day off from school, write about it more.... Nothing ever helps. Help. I'm lost in a sea of despair and there is no ship around to rescue me.

Stars are so interesting. Basically, they can float up in the sky looking all small and free - but really, take a better look. They are huge balls of flame the will eventually destroy themselves, maybe implode and take other stars or planets with it. They look so beautiful, but up close they are dangerous and ugly.... like Humanity.
