 For any lost souls finding their way back here: this blog is currently being archived. 


Obviously, I have not been active on here in a while and probably won't be in the future. 

I'm still deciding on whether or not I'm going to take down every single post or leave some of them up. Regardless, the chances of any future posts are slim.

It's been quite the ride.

Stay safe.

forever and longer

I guess it's ironic, a tad funny even, quite hilarious actually if you have the right sense of humour. One can certainly appreciate the senselessness in the Universe's cruelty. The paradox of meaning, where we all matter and yet none of us ever did. We like to adorn ourselves with knowledge and wisdom while somewhere out there someone is laughing, because our knowledge means nothing in the vastness of space and time. Sometimes I wish I believed in some form of God, so that I could blame them, but I can't and I won't and so I will continue to grow the guilt within myself until my body rots away. I envision blood dripping down my skin before it all falls apart, leaving nothing but bones behind. I envision your body, contemplating how much of it may be left now, years later. Has your skin fallen off yet? Has the Earth claimed you already? My brain supplies me with images of you, of us and I hope they lay my remains to rest next to you so we can spend eternity together, rotting.

melancholia

will you love me
or leave me forever?

Posting this text is the equivalent of screaming into a void as there is no one out there who is aware of this blog and my existence, it has been years and when I look back, I wish I had been right. I wish I could give you a happy end, show you strength and hope, but I am not okay, I did not recover and there is no happy end. 

My head is swarming with thoughts that aren't mine and those that are, and it's getting harder every day to see the difference. I am balancing between life and death and have been arrogant enough to think I would get away with it, but you cannot trick Death and so I lost my footing, again, and again. I don't want to be alive and I don't want to die either. I want to live, but I would rather be dead. I want to rip my skin to shreds, break all my bones and tear my heart to pieces. I want to physically destruct my body, but they cannot see. They think I am standing tall and strong, they think I am moving on, but I just got better at hiding. Switched the razor for pills, blame the starving on money and hide it all under a smile. I am drowning in grief and suffocating from the longing for you, so I flee inside my head, the scariest place I know and yet it is the only place on Earth where you are still there. I would do anything to be with you and I wish I had killed myself when I had the chance to.

thank you very much for listening

I know there's barely any use in posting on this blog for it will only fall on deaf ears, if at all. But it's been nearly exactly five years since I created this blog; I was fifteen and in a rather perculiar place in life and while a lot more happened during these five years than depicted here, I still feel bad for leaving this blog hanging here without an actual end.

I am twenty years old now, in my second year of college and I'm doing fine. I cut ties with those that I recognized to be toxic for me, but I found a bunch of new friends and my relationship to everyone in my family has gotten so much better and while I still have bad days, I'm glad to say that most of the time I'm happy. 

Writing this feels like quite the end, but I guess it is supposed to be one, because this chapter ends here, probably ended a few months ago really, but this is it. I grew up and I will continue growing and if someone will ever read this, please know that there's a way out, one that does not require killing yourself, there is always the choice to live. I made that choice a while ago and I went from there and I made it, let's hope you do to. With all my love: goodbye. 

EDIT: As the latest post on here states, I chose to archive this blog. While going through all my posts (quite the journey really) I decided to leave this one up. I went through some hard times again after posting this and it's been a good reminder that I've always come up on the other side somehow. Melancholia, the post after this one, is also a reminder that relapse happens. 

For those whom it may concern, I've finished college, got a couple degrees and never used them for anything. No regrets. I've got the chance to build a safespace for myself. I'm not happy most of the time, but things have gotten more peaceful. 16.02.2023

we hide,
and we run

Lately I've began to realize how much I changed and how much I'm still changing right now. And I'm honestly not complaining. I catch myself caring less about others and their opinion more and more often as well as starting to finally let go of the poisonous people that stuck to me for so long. A few month ago I moved to another country with the hope of recovery and a new beginning and while it didn't start out that promising, I'll have to admit that I'm finally getting there. There's about a handful of people from my past that I still text frequently and one third of them is my family, but even my parents don't hear from me that often anymore and that's okay, at least for me. I don't miss my 'old life' anymore, at least not as terribly as I did in the first weeks, because I reached a place inside, a kind of balance, that makes me feel happy with where I am right now. 
I love my family, but I'm starting to stop caring whether my dad thinks I'm good enough or my mum approves of my actions or whether my brother misses me as much as I miss him. I'm my own person and questioning myself from the perspective of others won't get me anywhere, I sure am happier caring less. Of course I still worry about these things, about their opinions, but they don't plague me, they can easily be ignored if they have to and that feels good. 
I love my friends, even those that I kicked out of my life, but what a fool would I be to surround myself with people who's words are poison, that make me feel sick nearly every minute I spend with them. In school I used to hang out with nearly everyone, having something in common with most people helps with that and it was nice, but I realize that it's not what I necessarily need. Sure, at college it is still sort of the same, but also different, because people here are generally more grown and respectful and just accept each other. It's nice to have people like me who got to know who I really am and not what my illness had me be for a while. And it's nice to have my handful of friends over in Germany who I still text daily and meet up with if college allows it, but who won't turn their back on me the moment I do something reckless.
I'm not saying I'm cured or on top of the world, but I'm good. Not only okay, but good. I miss the people I outlived and some times I still wish I had my dogs and my family close and some times things become too much and too heavy of a burden, but then I know where to go, because I'm always welcome at my home and always welcome at so many of my friend's places. Just knowing that no matter what happens I'll always have a place to go to is reassuring and makes living easier.

I'm honestly proud to say that I made it and that I can look into the mirror most of the days and see the person I used to be before my mental illness took away everything. And I'm even prouder to say that I like that person.


we get up,
and we fight,
and we live.

mundane

I wonder why I have yet to be consumed by guilt when most days that is all I feel. It's probably because I am still fighting against it even so I know it was a lost battle from day one. I feel guilty for your death even so I was miles away and I never had the power to cure that illness, I feel guilty for his death as well even so I wasn't the one driving that car. I feel guilty for leaving friends behind and hurting my family with trying to commit suicide even so it's hardly my fault I'm mentally ill. I feel guilty for my failures, for not working harder, for always wanting more even so it's not my fault I was born human. I feel guilty for so many things even so it's hardly ever my fault. Yes, I do mistakes and I feel guilty for those too, but I was forgiven for those and I can start forgiving myself, but where do I even begin? It's like there are so many regrets, too many wrong turns and bad decisions, but that's just life and I'm not supposed to be consumed by a feeling that shouldn't be there in the first place.

ghost stories

don't be scared,
I'm right here

I swear I'm right here
we'll be good, I promise

"Do you believe in soulmates?" I ask him as I look upon the city bathed in the light of tonight's moon. He doesn't answer, knows that I don't want him to, because I wouldn't hear him anyway. "I don't know if they exist, but I guess there's someone out there for all of us. Someone who just clicks with who you are, something like a perfect match you know, but not necessarily in a romantic way and if one wants to call that a soulmate then so be it. But isn't that a horrible concept?" I laugh to myself, silently, and shake my head. "It really is horrible, the way you discover a kind of passion, a kind of love, in yourself you never experienced before and while you try not to acknowledge it too much, it's a mortal love. It isn't timeless, because it all comes to an end one day and I guess that's okay, it's the price we have to pay. But then again, would you want to experience a love so strong it might rip you apart any moment, only to lose it again? Is that short period of utter love really worth all the pain that comes from losing it?" I have to suppress another laugh or he might think I turned mad along the way. Maybe I did, but he doesn't have to know that. "You know, when I met him and things started to click into place, I realized that it was too late to back out. It's weird, the way he made me feel, I don't think I ever loved someone as much as him and I doubt I ever will. He made me feel whole, like I had only been a half of something for my entire life without even realizing it, and more than that; he made me feel real. If that's what a soulmate is than I hope everyone finds his and I hope they appreciate it more than I did, because yes, I guess, it really is worth all the pain. You, for sure, were worth all this pain. Tell me, do you think we were soulmates?"

relapse

I decided to live, but I'm still dying, still rotting inside. Maybe it was too late, maybe that's it, maybe it was never my choice to make. I'm dying.

recovery

I love my new therapist. She's one of the most understandable people I know and she never pushes me too hard. We're currently talking about A. and she used a whole session to discuss how to approach this, told me that I can always tell her to back off and I'm allowed to have cigarette breaks or go for a walk if I need to, she assured me that it's okay to cry and she would leave if I do and ask her to. I'm so glad she told me all that since it's really important to me to do this right, well if it were about me we wouldn't approach this topic at all. Anyway, she's just
really nice and the way she talks to me and about me takes away my fear. I never thought I'd trust her more than my first therapist, but I'm happy I do.

hope returns

Have you looked into the mirror lately?
Your silhouette is grey,
your smile's turned hazy.

I spend my days as an official adult lazily lying in my friends lap and listening to her singing the song's she wrote about me, the alcohol makes her voice a little bit rough, the exhaustion makes her sing low like it's far far away. It's funny, everything is, because it isn't. The days pass by and I have fun, I laugh and see friends, get drunk and make new ones. Lately I started realizing that things might be okay, because there are people who love me and most of all I realized that there are people I do love, that I can still feel that, that it's not only sadness and
desperation, there's more than pain inside me and it's the best feeling I had in a very long time.

welcome to the new age


I haven't read any of your messages in weeks, probably month. 
They're written all over my walls and maybe 
that's why I keep staring at the ceiling.
Because God knows I miss you 
to an extend that your name alone can bring tears to my eyes, 
so I chose to question your whole existence 
instead of taking the burden to accept that you're in fact 
not existing anymore. 
And it makes me want to cry 
every damn night, 
but I keep fighting for something I don't see any longer. 
I keep fighting for you who keeps crossing my mind, 
no matter how hard I try to ignore 
your face in front of my closed eyes. 
Because God knows about all the plans we had 
and the future you once present me with 
which now fades away 
with every day I keep reminding myself 
that your smile will for every carry on 
as nothing else than a dream clinging to my mind.

Let us fall one more time, let us fail for an other night, we can as well start living tomorrow, but for tonight we're dead again.

verirrt

Und ich bin einfach nur ehrlich, wenn ich sage, dass ich mich bei dem Ganzen nur unwohl fühle und allein der Gedanke an alles mich über den Rand stößt. Während ich mehr lache, als weine, bin ich doch trauriger als glücklich. Der Gedanke an die Therapie lässt mich denken, eine falsche Entscheidung getroffen zu haben, aber gibt es noch richtig und falsch, wenn nur noch eine Sache zur Auswahl steht? Ein Teil von mir ist noch immer davon überzeugt, es sei meine eigene Aufgabe wieder aufzustehen, und der Rest sieht dem Tod gleichgültig in die Augen, lächerlich. Ich rede so viel von dir und dann sehen sie mich an, als hätten sie nie erfahren, was Liebe ist und dann zweifle ich, ob wir einander überhaupt geliebt haben. Jeder Tag endet gleich, mit der Flucht in andere Welten und der Vermeidung des Denkens. Ich dachte mir geht es wieder gut, dabei fehlen einfach die Worte, um das Schlechte zusammen zu fassen. Die Wahrheit 
trägt mittlerweile das gleiche Risiko wie die Lüge, wenn nicht gar höher. Die Wahrheit macht mir Angst, wieso sie also aussprechen?

diese welt hat keine verwendung mehr
für wesen wie mich,
die sich von hoffnung und lügen ernähren
und ihren dreck im leben anderer hinterlassen.
sollte ich nicht gehen
oder besser schon längst weit genug gelaufen sein?
aber unterstell mir nicht ich sei stehen geblieben,
würde nur auf einer stelle verweilen,
wenn ich doch so schnell renne, wie meine beine mich tragen können.
nur ist mir zu spät aufgefallen,
dass das hier die falsche richtung ist, mein fehler.
deine nähe fehlt mir.
ich will den klang deiner stimme durch meinen körper fließen lassen
und deine berührungen sollen ihn unter strom setzen,
so wie er unter strom steht, wenn ich an die chance denke
irgendwann in deinen armen zu liegen.
ich will sehen, wie meine kindliche dummheit deine lippen zwingt
gottes geschenk zu erschaffen
und ich will deine haare zwischen meinen fingern spüren.
ich will mich dir widersetzen
und eins mit dir sein.
ich will neben dir aufwachen
und selbst wenn das meinen tod bedeuten würde.
ich will fühlen, 
dass jedes deiner worte alles war, was es versprach
und dir zeigen, dass meine es immer sein werden.

wir ignorieren dass dieser text so alt ist,
dass selbst a. damals noch am leben war

house


this room is full of ghosts 
with existing dreams 
and heart-breaking hope 
watching that lonely girl 
without any reliance
and dead wishes.

this room is full of dead 
from lazy lives 
filled with enough hatred
to cram the universe.

this room is full of faces 
and anxious eyes 
showing all the fear of life and death 
and being stuck between 
for another eternity.

I'd kill myself if I knew that I'd end up with you

Sitze da, es ist noch gar nicht so spät. Immer wieder das gleiche Lied, nichts was großartig Gefühle hervor ruft, einfach nur ein schönes und es wiederholt sich und wiederholt sich. Meine Hände zittern, meine Beine sind eingeschlafen, ist eigentlich doch wirklich noch nicht spät. Es ist grad dunkel geworden, sitze unterm Fenster, das einzige Licht kommt von meinem Bildschirm, den ich schon gar nicht mehr beachte und von der Zigarette, die still vor sich hin qualmt. 
Sitze da, es ist noch gar nicht so spät. Fange an zu weinen, will schreien, alles wird still und wieder laut, meine Gedanken schreien. Mein Kopf schlägt auf die Tischplatte, schreie stumm den Boden an und verzweifle bei dem Anblick meiner Beine. Stelle mir vor eine Waffe an der Schläfe zu haben um mich zu beruhigen, alles wird nur schlimmer, weil da keine Waffe ist, keine Kugel in meinem Kopf. 
Die letzten Tage liefen gut, mit den alltäglichen Tiefen eines Teenagers, aber nicht heute Nacht. Alles schreit. Alles nur in meinem Kopf. Die Musik ist kaum noch zu hören, nur noch das da drinnen. Will mir die Haut abreißen, will wieder schneiden, stattdessen schlägt mein Kopf wieder auf die Tischplatte, muss irgendwas tun.
Breche komplett zusammen, suche nach meinem Handy, schreibe ihr und ihm, wusste auf die schnelle nicht wem sonst, dachte es würde helfen. Mein Handy landet auf dem Bett, schmeiße es fast gegen die Wand, muss hier alleine durch. Alleine. 
Kann mich nicht mehr kontrollieren, halte mir den Mund zu, beiße mir in die Hand, bloß nicht schreien, niemand darf dich hören, niemand. 
Es ist spät, stehe heulend vor seiner Tür, kann nicht sagen was los ist, leg mich nur neben ihn und versuche seinen Fragen auszuweichen. Wusste nicht mehr wohin mit mir außer raus, zu alex und bin dann doch bei ihm gelandet. Zum Glück oder so. Es geht wieder los.

Es tut mir leid, dass ich nicht zu schätzen wusste, was wir hatten und immer nur mehr wollte. Aber du musst wissen, ich wollte eigentlich nur dich.

Wenn die Hölle einem den Einlass versagt.

Ich sitze wie jeden Morgen unten in der Küche, vor dem großen Fenster, dass mir einen Blick auf unseren Hof gewährt. Der Rasen zeigt kein Anzeichen von dem was er mal war, grün, lebendig, schön. Jetzt ist er gelb, spröde und ausgeblichen, einfach nur hässlich. Die alten Gartenstühle haben ihre weiße Unschuld längst verschenkt und auf der roten Tischdecke wimmelt es von Zigarettenasche, am liebsten würde ich mich übergeben. Aber das alles braucht mich nicht stören, die alten verdorbenen Pflanzen nicht, das gebrochene Gestein auch nicht, nichts, wieso auch? Ich halte mich eh nicht lange dort draußen auf, aber es ist schade. In meinem Kopf bildet sich ein Bild von früher, grüner Rasen, Rosen die sich die Wände hochranken, frische Tomaten und ein Netz an dem damals noch alle zusammen Federball gespielt haben. So schnell kanns gehen und das Leben schlägt einem ins Gesicht. Nicht zum ersten Mal fällt mir das alles auf, immer wieder wenn ich, wie jeden Morgen, da unten sitze, vor mir Kaffee und Schreibzeug, wird mir klar, was das Leben mit uns anrichtet. 
Meine Gedanken schweifen total ab, bis mir die weißen Punkte auffallen: Schnee. Die letzten Tage waren auffallend sonnig gewesen, wenn überhaupt nur regnerisch, aber jetzt schneit es. Nachher würde es nur noch Regen geben, aber das spielt doch keine Rolle. Schnee erinnert mich an ihn, es hatte einfach nicht aufgehört zu schneien und das war dein letzter Schnee gewesen, hoffentlich auch mein letzter. Ich hab versucht zu schreiben, Texte in denen sich diese Sehnsucht nach ihm und dem damit verbunden Tod wiederspiegelt. Das mach ich jeden Morgen, um meine Gedanken zu ordnen, frei zu kriegen, ruhig zu werden, nur funktioniert es nicht mehr. Ich bekomme keine Worte mehr auf das Papier, gestern kam ich nur zu einem einzigen Satz, aber der Schmerz wird größer, der Druck unerträglich.

Heute ist nicht viel passiert, irgendwie war ich in der Schule viel zu engagiert, hab mich im Unterricht beteiligt, mit Menschen geredet und ich frag mich, wie ich es immer noch schaffe so ein Image und so eine Mauer aufrecht zu erhalten, das bin nicht ich, aber das habe ich damit auch ihr zu verdanken. Aber wenn wir ehrlich sind, war das heute allein der Verdienst meines Bruders, der es während der Pause bei mir wenigstens zu einem ehrlichen Lächeln gebracht hat, ich liebe diesen Jungen. Er kommt übrigens bald wieder, nicht dass das irgendwen hier interessieren mag. Die Fächer an sich liefen alle ganz gut, in der Pause mit den Jungs draußen gewesen, normaler Alltag, normale Fassade.
Auf dem Rückweg nach Hause mal wieder angefangen zu weinen, das war damit wahrscheinlich das erste Mal, dass ich froh war, dass J. sich nicht zu mir umgedreht und mich ignoriert hat.
Während meine Mutter schlief, hab ich nen bisschen zu viel geraucht; Kreislaufzusammenbruch, hab mich dann erstmal hingelegt und bin auch abends erst irgendwann wieder aufgestanden. Daraufhin hab ich mich zum ersten Mal direkt an meine Facharbeit gesetzt und sogar einige Seiten geschafft, ohne Zusammenbruch. Ich hab ziemliche Probleme irgendwie mit dieser Arbeit, aber ich versuch bis Montag fertig zu sein, damit ich auch mal Leute auslachen kann, die noch am letzten Tag daran sitzen, sonst bin das ja immer nur ich. Bemerkung am Rande; Ich hab in solchen Arbeiten trotzdem gute Noten, irgendwie, haha. 
Was soll ich euch noch erzählen? Ich weiß es nicht, heute war kein ereignisreicher Tag, keiner den ich unbedingt in lange Texte, mit schlechter Satzkonstruktion und hässlichen Worten verarbeite, aber ich wurde recht lieb darum geboten und das fand ich süß. Der Freund meiner Mutter ist heute auch frühzeitig wieder gekommen, was mich nach dem Vorfall gestern vor einige Probleme stellt, aber das regelt sich, so wie sich alles in dieser Welt regelt.

gate to wonderland

it has been two weeks now,
such a long time
passing by in an instant.
now you're out there
and I'm still wandering around
on earth.

we are best friends, right?
I don't even know
if that's an accurate way
to describe our relation,
is such a relation still existing?
I guess it does.

I'm still referring to you
as my current best friend
and the person I love the most.
this hasn't changed
with that dead body of yours
which still lingers in this hell,
slowly fading away
it's what remains of you.

I'm not allowing this world
to take everything
that's left from you.
god can go to hell.
I'm not letting you go,
excuse my selfishness,
but I'm loosing my mind.

I lost that bit of sanity I had left
and all that remains
is the memory of a dream
and every word you ever said.

do I really have to hang on?
I'm not through this hell yet,
seems like I don't deserve peace
but you do.

now go on
and find your way,
but stay with me please.
he will guide you
towards paradise.

you deserve better
than being kept on earth
with me.
like a ghost,
not ready to walk
into that holy light
those fairy-tails taught us about.

I just can't stop loving you,
please don't hate me.
and if you really want to leave,
can I come along?
