The Butterfly project- draw a butterfly on the place(s) that you would self harm and if the butterfly fades without self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving a sense of achievement. Whereas if you do self-harm with the butterfly there; you will have to wash it off. If that does happen, you can start again by drawing a new one on. You can name the butterfly after someone you love.
Write the name of a loved one [a friend, family member, or anyone else who cares about you] and write their name where you want to self harm. When you go to self harm remember how much they care and wouldn’t want you to harm yourself.
think about what you would say to a friend who was struggling with the same things you are and try to be a good friend to yourself.
Make a bracelet out duct tape, and put a line on it every day (Or any period of time) you go without self harm. When it’s full of lines, take it off and make a chain out of all the bracelets and hang it up somewhere where you can be reminded of your great progress.
Alternatives that give the illusion of seeing something similar to blood:
Draw on yourself with a red pen or body paint, or go to a site such as this, where you ‘cut’ the screen (be aware that some users may find this triggering, so view with caution)
Cover yourself with plasters where you want to cut
Give yourself a henna or fake tattoo
Make “wounds” with makeup, like lipstick
Take a small bottle of liquid red food coloring and warm it slightly by dropping it into a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Uncap the bottle and press its tip against the place you want to cut. Draw the bottle in a cutting motion while squeezing it slightly to let the food color trickle out.
Draw on the areas you want to cut using ice that you’ve made by dropping six or seven drops of red food color into each of the ice-cube tray wells.
Paint yourself with red tempera paint.
‘Cut’ your skin with nail polish (it feels cold, but it’s hard to get off)
Use red food colouring on your skin
Alternatives to help you sort through your feelings:
Phone a friend and talk to them
Make a collage of how you feel
Negotiate with yourself
Identify what is hurting so bad that you need to express it in this way
Write your feelings in a diary
Free write (Write down whatever you’re thinking at that moment, even if it doesn’t make sense)
Make lists of everything such as blessings in your life
Make a notebook of song lyrics that you relate to
Call ahotline
Write a letter to someone telling them how you feel (but you don’t have to send it if you decide not to)
Start a grateful journal where everyday you write down three: good things that happened/ things that you accomplished/ are grateful for/ made you smile. Make sure the journal is strictly for positive things. Then when you feel down you can go back and look at it.

Hello, I'm here Asking for help and support for my 6 years old daughter battling brain tumor(Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma) . She's so young to suffer the symptoms. Doctor told she only months to live. She's been fighting for her life for 8 months. We're poor and can't afford her treatments. She was schedule of Cranial MRI this last week of August. And please help me to make her happy. I'm so sorry for begging for help. But please understand her situation. Please help her to live. Thank you so much.
Please don't kill yourself,you matter. take a breathe. Listen to some music, talk to someone. Message me if you want to talk but don't think you don't have someone to talk to. It gets better, it truly does.🌷
What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.
Can you read minds or something? This is so accurate! Lots of love 💖🤗

placements & their true melodies 🤍
do not repost, plagiarize, “reword” my work.🕊
- 🤍 Scorpio placements & Capricorn Placements & Heavy Saturn & Pluto & Pluto - Ascendant & Pluto in 1st
When you become untouchable, you're unable to touch Is there a real me? Pop the champagne It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain
- The Living Tombstone (My Ordinary Life)
- 🤍🕊 You display what you want to display but you keep a part of you quite untouchable because of what you experienced you don't wanna experience pain and despair ever again, you put up this image that is intense and admirable because you put a lot of effort and dedications to things... you find it hard not to get obsessed with what you love.. you learnt this the hard didn't you? When you put so much love into things you loose yourself and your dignity in the process and you loose yourself in the intense reactions other people have made of you thus making you question your worth. Don't you know how much power you have? The jealousy you've experienced.. people projecting on you because of your burning desire to do things you lost who you were in expectations that you made of yourself and that others have made of you.. say no to that and own your power.
- 🤍 Virgo placements & Aquarius placements & 6th house & 11th house placements & Uranus Dominance
Perfection is so quick to bore You are my beautiful, by far Our flaws are who we really are
- I hear a symphony (Cody Fry)
- 🤍🕊You've always been somewhat different in the ways you think and act since a young age.. you were analytical and saw through things no one else could because of your innovative mind. At such young age you've had to dim your ways of thinking because of other's expectations and the duty you've had to serve since young may have taken a toll on who you are today and you constantly feel what would happen if you were to just break free from society and the cruel world. You have a beautiful heart that humankind doesn't deserve. You've always been that person to give a hand out when needed but were those favors retreated? Tell me.. how many times you've tried to fit in? You don't have to please anyone and loving yourself is a mission for you. How many times people have stolen what you've done and taken credit for it? Embrace yourself and say fuck you to anyone else and only do things for you. Embrace your "weird" side"
- 🤍 Leo placements & 5th house placements & Sun dominants & Sagittarius placements & 9th house placements & Jupiter dominants & Sagittarius dominants
I've been catching planes for the fun of it Then I'll be watching fame turn to punishment The weather's only sunny when I'm under it And I haven't really changed, yeah I'm just confident I'm just fucking lucky I was born with it
Into it - (Chase Atlantic)
🤍🕊You have learned that running from responsibilities isn't any fun and you have to fear the dark side at times and the dark side can come from when you least expect it. You are most secretive than given credit for, you put up this pretty image with amazing charisma and you display wisdom and knowledge.. it's hard not to look up to you.. but eventually you create this standard that you always have to shine bright and that negative emotions aren't welcomed.. you repress emotions.. you have learned that you shouldn't always follow what the crowd wants. Sometimes you wish you could just go unnoticed but it's hard not to pay attention to you.. you've always felt like escaping huh? Wishing you were someone else.. while everyone wants to be you.. most people misunderstand your life and think it's all luxury because of that pretty image you put up.. it couldn't be farther from the truth.. you were gifted with wisdom and creative talents from youth.. use them

You can hold my hand If no one's home Do you like it when I'm away? If I went and hurt my body, baby Would you love me the same?
Line without a hook- (By Ricky Montgomery)
🤍🕊 You have been gifted with the ability to love so much that your own persona becomes a blur and you loose yourselves in the ones you love you'd dare sacrifice yourself for them.. but have your ways of love always been given back? Perhaps.. you've found yourself staying a bit longer than you should in situations where you were giving too much? Does that hit a bell? Oh.. this is why you've built up walls because you're afraid you'd be used for your love again.. yes? You've always provided a home for people even if you yourself didn't have a stable home emotionally and mentally.. you always dared to care and love and nourish.. you were always watering dead plants.. you have had to learn so early on that not everyone has such big heart like you.. have you went so far for people who didn't really like you the way you thought? Use your ways of loving and your intuitive abilities for what's best and don't water dead plants.

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers Wrapped in your arms You've been hiding them in Hollowed out pianos left in the dark
Apocalypse - (By Cigarettes After Sex)
- 🤍🕊 You are naturally loved and liked that would be an understament of who you are.. You've always desired a beautiful connection when there was equal give and taken.. Your heart is beautiful your entire soul is.. who was the one who made you hide it all away? You still remember your first heartbreak don't you? Are you concerned for how others perceive you too much? Have you yet learned that love only comes within you the most? People tend to confide in you the most but who do you confide in? You were gifted with the abilities of art and aesthetics you've always tried to see everything in a better light until the darkness over took once and all you think is anxious thoughts.
- 🤍 Earth placements & 2nd house placements & 6th house placements & 10th house placements
But so broken on when you can't stop choosing To sleep through your alarms Man, you're losing your head
Sleep thru Ur Alarms (By Lontalius)
- 🤍🕊 You just need a break..you need a break from reality.. no even that sounds too little.. you need to take it slow.. all those sleepless you've spent working so hard repressing tears.. did it all start from early school years and that perfectionism to get those grades? Or maybe it's your parent's expectations.. Sure you're "grounded' but who knows when you're not? who hide it so well just for the sake of not burdening anyone.. you suffer alone aiming for the price.. the high achiever.
- 🤍 Air placements & 11th house placements & 3rd house placements & 7th house placements
Do the wires in your mind get sewn together..
Rubbed and severed by the heat
Not allowed - TV girl
- 🤍🕊 Sure you can be seen as the friend who is funny and always up to chat.. but who really knows what's going on in your mind? All those thoughts racing.. do you know how fascinating your mind is and how it works? But let's talk about the uglier side.. you are more anxious than you let on and you can't help but analyze every little thing, you may at times questioned your sanity because of what you've noticed so early on that others haven't.. At such young age, you've been on this mission to feed on knowledge but what about your emotional nourishment? You can't just feed your emotional needs with your mind.. take time to yourself...
- 🤍 Fire placements & 1st house placements & 5th house placements & 9th house placements & Mars dominance & Sun dominance
All things come to pass With time But I want everything now To be all mine
Young - (By Vacations)
- 🤍🕊 With that burning desire you've had throughout your life to accomplish so many things.. you are a true child at heart with so many dreams.. ignoring the people who have told you your dreams are unrealistic and that you'll never make it.. but you'll make it there one day.. faith is what keeps you even if it's inconsistent faith has always been your friend. The burning loyalty you give to those who dare stand by your side and how much you're willing to give. You're not the easiest but that's for a reason you want everything and you'll give everything, all because of the intense love inside you.

- 🤍🕊 The ability to feel the environment around has it side effects doesn't it? You easily get overwhelmed and because of your kind nature you take more than what you should've taken, you struggle making time for you at times. You escape the rain and despair by sleeping or ignoring the obvious. You become foggy to those around you because you are scared of letting people in on what you really go through. Your intuition has never failed you especially with people.. so why do you still doubt it? Is it because of what you think it could be? But it isn't right? Reality can be despair, you run and run until you run out of time and you have no choice but to face the dark truths.

Warnings: major character death, sword piercing reader's chest
Immortal that's what he was.
It's a blessing they said, to be immortal,to be a god. So why couldn't he find the sweet blessing of immortality. Devasted that's what he would use to describe himself.
Tears rolled down his cheeks, his throat felt constricted. His knees buckled and finally the god was brought down to his knees, not by his archenemy but by the sight of the bloodied and bruised body of his lover.
There were you, who was lying in the pool of your blood.
Scars marred your face and blood flowed from where the sword had pierced your chest but you still had the smile you always gave him. The one which never failed to calm him. The same reassuring smile which made your eyes look like half moons.
You looked peaceful even when death cradled you, trying to lull you to sleep forever.
Even on the brink of death, you tried to reassure him with your smile, he painfully realised, tears still streaming down his face.
Zhongli gently placed you in his arms , the same way when you two used to sit under the golden yellow tree to simply bask in the moonlight and in each other's presence. But this time neither was there moonlight nor the time to enjoy the other's presence.
"Let us find each other again", your face contorted in pain, both at the sight of your lover in anguish and with the sword piercing your heart, the one you had given to him, "I love you" , you said, cupping his cheek with your bloodied hand.
Your movements stilled, the hand falling back and eyes going dull before you even heard his response.
His I love you going unheard.
Adored and cherished was what he was, even after his supposed death, by thousands that resided in liyue.
But defeated and anguished was what he felt with the body of the one he cherished the most, in his arms ,unmoving.
He finally let out the scream he was holding back, a scream filled with hopelessness and sorrow.
Being a god meant he could change the destiny by his hands, the way he had built liyue and watched over its people. He was the heart of his people.
So why couldn't he, a god save you, the one that had his heart.
Punishment, maybe that was what it was . Maybe he was being reminded that it was selfish of him for wanting to be human. For wanting to experience the joys of being mortal. But being mortal came with a price.
Joy and loss were two sides of the same coin in the world of mortals.
You can't have only one and he failed to realise that even gods can't cheat destiny. That even gods had to bear their burden if they wanted to experience being human.
He brushed his lips against your forehead and rocked your unmoving body ,the shell of the person you were,in his arms tightly, as if to console himself and whispered,
"I will wait for you no matter how long it takes for us to unite again".
TW: Death
My father passed away this last Tuesday. He was 64, my mother woke up to him needing help. He had a heart attack on the way to the hospital and never woke up once they revived him.
I'm sorry for those of you who have been waiting, but I'm going to take an indefinite hiatus to allow myself time to grieve. Please take time to tell your parents or guardian that you love them and hug them while you can. My father's death was sudden and I wish I would've said and done so much more now that I can't.
This is not required but would be greatly helpful and appreciated if any of my moonbeams could donate to our family.
My father was the sole provider for my family and we still have to find a way to pay for his funeral. He had no life insurance and my mother has no access to his bank account because he never found time to sign her on it. Even if we could, the amount in the bank isn't even half of the final cost for the service this upcoming October.
If you can't donate, please spread it around and share it where you can. We have some money to survive, but it won't last forever and he was helping to care for my sister's five children.
Thank you for any and all help you can spare 💜
