...See more okay so i’ve been into poetry for a little bit, and i haven’t shared with anyone. so im a little nervous putting it out there… hope you enjoy!  “quiet chapters” everybody has a chapter  that they don’t read out loud. it makes one sad or happy or angry or wild or proud. it’s pages might be wrinkled and old, or straight and clean and fresh.  the words might be living in one’s mind,  or written on their flesh. they might read it on repeat everyday,  or only on a quiet night. they might read it standing in the sun or sitting with the moonlight. they might be content with the chapters ending, or wish that they could rewrite it. they might fall in love with it over and over again, or they might learn to despise it.  so when you meet someone, just remember, they have a quite chapter as well. and your words, whether good or bad, will affect them more than you can ever tell.

...See more to whoever is reading this, hi!! so i’m a teen and i suffer from binge eating. i think it has something to do with the fact that i have mild depression, but i could be wrong. ive always been a little bigger, and that hasn’t bothered me until the last year or so. i wouldn’t call myself overweight, im just not as skinny as others my age, especially these last few months. it only started to matter to me when i overheard a convo that i probably would’ve been better off not hearing between my parents. they were talking about how much weight ive gained and how i need to eat better. ( im not asking for sympathy or attention here, js telling yall why i think it started) from that day on i havent slept very well and all i do is eat. i do play a sport, but that isn’t even fun anymore. and my anxiety is really high right now because all i can think about is the fact that it’s almost summer and im not comfortable in my own skin.  does anybody have any tips or advice to help me not binge eat? i don’t want to starve myself, but it’s starting to feel like that’s the only option. please send help!!
