To be more than just an average me!
There is so much one can do. So much one can say. So much that one can conduct, to make someone's day. I want to go out into the streets. To reach the homeless and poor. To show them that there is a light. There is hope. And there is a gem hidden amongst the coals of life. I want to help the hurt, broken and lonely. To reach the forgotten and withdrawn, the abused and mistrusted and help them to discover and turn a new page! I do however have my own set of problems. I am not perfect. I am a cutter. I am an addict. I hurt people often. I trust to easily, and I also have trust issues - a lot of it being myself. I have a struggling relationship with God, but I am learning to trust Him, and look for Him, even when I can't see or feel Him. He will always be my light! No matter what hell I think I am going through. <3 Kara (19) (Australia) COPYRIGHT ISSUES... (Unless stated, and even then not always done, the photos and pictures are not my own...

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU NEED TO TALK MOST… WORDS JUST ESCAPE FROM EXISTENCE, LEAVING YOU WITH ONLY SILENCE IN YOUR MOUTH.

Little Did You Know….

A girl is sobbing one day, but smiling and laughing and friendly the next. You say, “Gosh, you’re so bipolar!” You were only joking. Little did you know, she has bipolar disorder, and is trying with all her might to act “normal”, overcome it, be okay. And you just killed her inside.

A girl comes out of the bathroom looking sick after eating. You say, “Oh jeez, are you bulimic or something?” You were only joking. Little did you know, she’s had a lot of problems with eating disorders, including bulimia, which she is struggling with on a daily basis and trying to overcome. And you just killed her inside.

A girl is very quiet, on a normal basis. She seems very sad, all the time, and it’s starting to annoy you. You say, “Just go commit suicide already.” You were only joking. Little did you know, she suffers from depression and has attempted to kill herself before. And you just killed her inside.

A girl awkwardly declines an invite to go to a big rave party in Hollywood with a group of friends. You say, “Oh come on, scared you’re gonna get raped?” You were only joking. Little did you know, three years ago, she was raped. And has never lived a day since without that scar on her mind. And you just killed her inside.

A girl has a few scars on her legs, and she refuses to take her jacket off in warm weather. You say, “What’s your problem, do you cut yourself or something?” You were only joking. Little did you know, she has been cutting herself for three years. Her arms have terrible scars. She’s wants nothing more in her life than to make them go away, but she has to live with them and hide them every day of her life. And you just killed her inside.

Do you think about what you say before you say it?

All of these problems are jokes to people. They haven’t dealt with it first hand, so it’s a myth to them. Mood disorders, eating disorders, suicide, rape, and self-harm are merely rumors and stories. They don’t actually happen to people. So, you find them funny.

Next time you go to make ajoke, remind yourself that you don’t know anything about this person. You don’t know what you are talking about, and you’d best just shut your mouth before you risk breaking that person even more.

These things are not myth.

People struggle with them every day of their lives. People you know. Just because you don’t know about it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

You don’t know everything.
