@Marie Idk: as an ex 3 years and half old who used to be beat up and denigrated with his older sister by his sadistic psychotic parents for years and years, this song hits home too. At 51 I'm just a shell ... whatever my determination was to overcome all that for decades (40 years ...)
I bet those scars tell one hell of a story. And i know for a fact that you are beautiful. Someday i hope beyond hope that you get to where you're going. We need you here
sometimes I've felt my face looks like a corpse and has no life within it, I don't really remember why or how the feeling comes or goes away. It makes me want to brush my teeth. They are exposed bone in your mouth and they only rot -- they don't heal themselves (or they do heal, I don't know) but I grind my teeth in sleep and it feels like an hourglass on my life. This visible decay that I can measure at my canines sand themselves down.
danntennis44 that sucks i also have a teeth thing and i'm terrified they will fall out i recommend taking control of what you can like i always put certain things in my hair to anchor my appearance
I was sxually abused from the age of 13-17 and it really affected how I looked at myself and the way I looked at my body I covered it up, wouldn’t take full body pics, I self harmed. I still have my down days were I can’t even look at myself. This song really does hit different
Im proud of you. I know those down days will become less often. And someday i hope you look at yourself and see who you are, never again the lies you've been told. This world is ugly sometimes, and you are so far from ugly. We need you here
Today I shared this song with my friend who has been throught a similar situation and is still suffering similar consequences. I just hope that, 3 years after this comment, you are feeling well and I send you lots of love.
this makes my cry really hard yet feel deeply comforted. I suffer day to day with horrible intrusive thoughts, gender dysphoria, self image issues, reality processing issues, and suicidal ideation. I constantly feel so tired of existing with these issues and take it out on the source, my own body. none of my friends or even my counsellor (or even me) seem to understand but this song seems to and that's just really comforting.
You are beautiful. I hope so much for you that you find comfort and understanding from those you love, but more importantly from yourself. Its cold and dark here, a thousand voices of doubt and fear. But we need your light here with us. You matter, because your you. And you never need to prove those voices right or wrong. Stay with us a while, we need all the light we can to keep them at bay.
As someone who has hated my body for years due to everyone bullying me about my weight and has self h*rmed this song really makes me feel alot better thank you💞
I love this because you really do only have to have a body (another way to word it is to simply be human I think) to understand and find comfort in this song. Being human can be such a curse. We're all going through life on the same earth and it's heartbreaking at times to think about what's normal to go through. I'm a bit worried people will think I'm trying to like ... take a song from them because I'm saying it's an almost universal feeling because of how humans interact. But I truly find it unfortunate how much we all suffer. And how hard it is to heal, especially when a lot of /society/ feels like it's just made for "functional" boomers that don't believe in mental illness or emotions. I was diagnosed with BPD yesterday and I just feel able to apply this song to a LOT of aspects of my life.
i love this song, and i relate to it a lot for my own reasons- but my favorite thing about it is how many ways it can be interpreted and how many people can find comfort in it for different reasons :)
I hope you find every comfort and peace available to you. I hope someday you find your own bright little corner to shine in. You are beautiful and we need you here
So ... this is written with the google translator so it probably doesn't make much sense. I recently came out of a time of bulimia nervosa and I am extremely thin, it hurts to have a body this thin and "disgusting". I'm sorry you have to have a body
