YOU! ARE THESE THINGS!

The necklace

I have this necklace. I’ve had it sence 3rd grade and I never take it off. It’s a half of a heart on a black string that says half of ‘best friend’. It’s very important to me. It’s broken countless times on the string and I’ve tied it back together, half of the heart fell off and it’s chewed up from my anxity and it looks so old. Yet I love it more than I can express. My dad has the other side, though it’s been 5 years sense the last time I’ve seen him wear it. ~Anon

this is not the end.

take care of yourself!! ♡

you deserve love

It hurts you know.  Those aren’t words you’re meant to hear coming from your mother. 

“I’m tired.  I’m giving up.”

Knowing she is talking about giving up on her family.

“It’s the same thing over and over.  I’m not doing anything with my life and I can’t stand it.”

It’s to much for her.  She can’t handle taking me to school anymore.  She can’t handle any of this.  I’m putting to much on her back right now.

“I’m the same way mom, I can’t even shower without thinking about hurting myself.”

My sister is not allowed to think like that.  She’s C.R.M.  shes not allowed.

Her poor son isn’t happy anymore.  He’s only 9 and he’s so depressed. 

My dad is being over worked.  I know he’s thinking about leaving.  We’ve talked it through.  He misses his old house, I can’t say I don’t agree.

My sisters life is falling apart.  She’s been crying every night.  She’s been struggling to keep going.

it sounds bad right now but it was just as bad 3 months ago before any of these problems.  Every time we fix our problems more ones come around.

I’m so tired of everything.  I’ve hurt myself again.  I never really stopped but I went awhile without the thought of a blade and when it came back to mind I always found a way to stop myself.  Yet this time I didn’t.  I am getting so bad i’m cutting with everyone still awake because I’m dying for a release.

I’m having issues with food, but its okay.  So is everyone else in my house.  My sister hasn't eaten in a week other than half a sandwich.  shes so skinny she can fit into my jeans.  I think shes anorexic with the way she talks.  My mom says shes not hungry but she hasn’t eaten in three days.  for the last two days my sisters son hasn't touched any food and on his birthday Friday he would even touch his cake.  my dad is the only one eating and hes working so much he doesn't have time very often to even make himself food, so some nights he skips dinner.

My sister is angry.  She yells a lot and gets med to easily,  My mom does too.  I can tell my dad is done with it.  He gives me that look that says hes tired of it.  I know hes on edge.

I’ve started smoking again.  K.R.  got me some cigarettes from some kids at school.  I have about five left before my pack is empty.  I’m going to steal some from my sister. 

I have to share my room now.  My sister is sharing with me.  My moms getting rid of half my stuff and we are buying a bunk-bed.  I need to clear a lot of room for that though so im getting rid of my desk, posters, fairy lights, TV, and other things. 

I’m starting to think it’s just to hard to keep going.  What’s the point? my own mom gave up can’t I? 

I know I said I wouldn’t, but I’m still thinking of moving schools.  It’s to hard on my mom to keep doing all this.  Plus my grades are so bad, I’m not doing any better.

I  missed school again today,  I can’t go back.  There isn’t anything there for me.

There isn’t anything in this world left for me.

Writing Timber is making these two so similar, but different in tiny, distinct little details. They're both conspiracy theorists, they're both the most insane person in any room they walk into, they use the cringiest slang, they're just Some GuyTM, they're addicted to Zestis, they're disaster bis, they're troublemakers, they're both magnets to tragedy, they're skater boys but in different ways.

But also:

Tim's first instinct in danger is to use his brain while Bernard's is to use his brawn.

Tim wins in the category of intellectual intelligence but Bernard wins in common sense.

For Tim, subtlety is everything. Bernard's never heard of it though.

Tim constantly has high expectations placed on him and usually manages to rise to the occasion. Bernard is constantly underestimated by everyone around him and that means he can occasionally surprise a couple people.

Bernard yaps a lot and goes on endless tangents about anything and everything. Tim doesn't talk much but he listens to every minuscule detail, and knows exactly how to use it against you when you least expect it.

Tim was that one guy in class who the teacher could not stand but always managed to get straight A's without trying. Bernard was the class clown that got mediocre grades but was surprisingly skilled in things he was passionate about.

Tim's a lot more reserved and calm but can make friends with just about anybody and is surprisingly laidback and snarky once you get to know him. Bernard is loud and annoying and extroverted, but he pulls back when someone gets too close and suddenly they realize he has secrets too.

Tim doesn't usually try to impress anyone romantically but he keeps managing to pull people into his orbit anyway. Bernard will flirt with anyone who breathes and ultimately fail to impress anyone.

They both love looking into mysteries but when Bernard is investigating, the What's New, Scooby Doo? theme is practically playing in the background, while for Tim, it might as well be the theme of Criminal Minds.

Tim seems all chill and put-together until you actually step into his room and wade knee-deep into punk rock dvds and mismatched socks. Bernard is visibly a mess, but he can get his shit together when it comes down to it.

Tim handles a situation by going out to take down a threat, as is the nature of a Bat. Bernard stays to tend to the wounded, because his time is Louis Grieves has scarred him and now he has to make sure what happened to Darla never happens again.

They both think of themselves as a magnet for the trouble and think of each other as a good luck charm that managed to bring the light back into their lives.

• try not to invalidate your struggles by comparing them to others • everyone handles situations differently • everyone is equip with different strengths and skill sets. • just because someone has it worse than you does not mean your struggle is meaningless
