I WANT MY MONROE PIERCED NOW 

well i’m finally back from linden! it’s been a long six days and i’m glad to be home. it’s funny, at first i was having doubts that the place would help me, and now i’m sitting here thinking like a whole different person and feeling great about myself. during those few groups i attended and family sessions, i learned that there is more to life then just being upset. there is actually so much too live for. i remember walking into linden with the worst attitude and feeling like complete shit about everything. i guess i was just in denial that i needed help; or maybe i new i needed it but really didn’t want to look for it. but now that i think about it, linden was probably one of the best experiences i’ve had in awhile. i learned so many new things: like how to respect and love myself, how to be open with people without feeling uncomfortable, actually talking to people to begin with, good coping skills, and even that i’m not alone with my situations. knowing that i’m not alone is probably one of the best feelings on this earth. it’s not knowing that other people are “suffering” with me and that’s okay, it’s that i’m not the only one on this earth feeling lost. in linden i got to talk to a lot of girls and get to know them really well. i actually became quite close with a few and got their numbers. normally i’m not the one to become so close with people in just a few short days, but it happened. i actually sat up during the night and talked with my roommate for hours before going to bed. i became so comfortable in the environment and the fact that no one judged me was such a settling feeling. 

saying goodbye to linden has been such a relief but i will, with no doubt, miss all the amazingly friendly and supportive girls and staff. i will most definitely miss the delicious food and snacks every damn hour. 

i’m so glad i got to experience what i did. i’ll never forget it.

if you want to be with your boyfriend constantly and never make the effort to talk to me or hangout with me, i’m not gunna bother talking to you because it’s pointless. i get that you’re happy and i’m happy for you too, but things have to change because this isn’t okay.
