An open letter to the voices in my head

You are a bother. I don't want you. I never asked for you. Please leave me alone.

An open letter to the voices in my head

You are nothing what I asked for. I want to be a better person but you always put me down. From the constant telling me how bad I look or making me question if I'm a bother to other people. You make my life a living Hell.

There are days that you make me have no motivation. I drag and the day seems forever. You are the big black gaping hole in . Some days the thoughts are too much and I don't feel like talking and I have to fake a smile to everyone.

I lock myself away and listen to music to get you to leave me alone. Again you are not what I asked for. You make me feel like a disappointment to everyone, make me question my very existence, question my presence around others.

Why can you not leave me alone? Why are you such a big gaping hole?

I can always go to a therapist or someone but it won't work. It's hard to go to a therapist when you have no motivation or don't feel like talking.

The days I never feeling like eating because you call me fat when ever I go to eat. Telling me I'm worthless and no one actually likes me. Making me fake a smile when all I want to do is cry.

The only way to escape you is by listening to music, sleeping, or reading.

Oh the times I actually listened to you and thought that was my only way to cope with everything. The constant time crying from hearing you say how I'm not good enough to do anything. Poison to my life that still tries to control me day to day. Making me feel less than I am.

Making feel like everyone hates me and makes me want to run and hide from everyone. I can't seem to get ride of you. You always talk at the most inconvenient of times.

There are days where you win and I just don't care and let you win. Don't eat food but if I do it will be a bite or two and drink water to keep me full. Even though it won't work I still listen.

It's hard to keep a smile when you are around.. I have to put one on so no one knows you exist. Then later on in the day go home and cry because of the things you say that I can't bear.

I don't wanna listen to you but you break my walls and spirit and I do what you say without a doubt.

How I hate you and wish you would go away. I never asked for you and one day I will win. It may not be today or tomorrow but I will not let you win. You are just a voice. I can change you and I will. I will not let you win all the time. I am stronger than you, I am better than you.

One day you will see. That I can promise.

Signed,

Me

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
