I really don’t understand why people are so shocked to see slit wrists.
Like, is it not a common occurrence for you to see a depressed teenager wanting relief from his/her problems?
I just came back from buying several art materials. When I handed the money I needed to pay, the person in the cashier straight out asked me, “Why on earth do you teenagers follow stereotypical emos? Is cutting a trend now?”
I felt offended..
It’s not like I chose to be fucking depressed and pressured to the point I cut my own fucking self for relief.

The f*ck? That’s unbelievably inappropriate… :/
Sorry that happened to you- and that person has a job interacting with people.
Right? Exactly what I wanted to say to the one behind the counter.
But I was being polite enough to tell her to keep the change.
Don’t apologize for that person, friend. It isn’t your fault some people just don’t understand..
Ignorance and silence are too often kept apart….
You should’ve leaned across the counter and whispered, ‘in a small way, it’s because of people just like you- thanks ; ) ‘
I don’t think I can do that? =w=;;; XD
Hm…I’d never let it be clearly visible. Its just, I don’t need to have people see my privacy. Its nothing good to have others see, but it is nevertheless good for people to comprehend the reasons behind it and not to judge.
still, letting others see it…I don’t need to have people know. I don’t like it either. Its not a sign of validity or proof. Its my coping mechanism…Not for the world to witness.
I wear sweaters and bandages to make sure people don’t see. But it somehow managed to slip when I handed it in…
In that case, I’d comprehend the message behind you’re post. I understand, last year, a girl said to me, “DO YOU CUT YOURSELF?!??! ARE YOU EMO?!?!?!”
And the answer is, no:
I’m sad.
Exactly :<
I don’t know what to say, except thanks for sharing. I love your screen name. I hate having to give the phony smile.. makes me thing of the song… look for the girl with the broken smile..

I like country when I’m not super sad.. how about you.. what kind of music you like and what groups
omg that’s cool ;u; I love all kindsa music too, but my mind is swirling in the classical pieces like Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart. XD
I sometimes switch from kpop to jpop, then if i’m feeling it, I move to RHCP, ACDC, Gorillaz and Pink Floyd ;u;’
I really enjoy the peppers and Floyd as well..
They’re really cool 😀
What’s yer fave song for le peppers?
What kind of art materials?
Do you paint, sketch, sculpt….?
Art is a wonderful way to get relief.
It helps people express some of the overwhelming things they can’t deal with.
My favorite artsy outlet is music. I love performing in the local symphony and I love composing things.
I was buying Animation Paper and some Color Eno led for my guide pencil.
I agree. :’) It helps me cope at times and kill time when I want it to pass by quickly.
Gosh, I love music too.. I used to play in our school’s orchestra.
Who are your favorite composers? Do you have any specific genre you like listening to?
My favorite classical composers are Handel, Mozart, and Vivaldi.
My favorite pop music era was the 1980’s, but there’s at least one good thing from every decade.
Over the years I’ve had a thing for R.E.M. (especially the bass player). 😉
Oh man I love those composers..
Especially Vivaldi ;u;’
How about saint-saens?
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to R.E.M.? XD =w=;
I love REM as well.. there early stuff was just amazing.. fables of the reconsteuction and reconing and life’s rich pageant
Let’s see if I can remember all of their albums in order…
Chronic Town
Murmur
Reckoning
Fables Of The Reconstruction
Lifes Rich Pageant
Document
Green
Out Of Time
Automatic For The People
Monster
New Adventures In Hi-Fi
Up
Reveal
Around The Sun

And their last retrospective was called “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage”.
I also own their other collections: Eponymous, Dead Letter Office, Best Of The IRS Years…

I didn’t forget Murmur… it’s right there on the list, in between Chronic Town and Reckoning.
🙂
LOL… “rain woman”.
Yes.
I forget all kinds of important things, yet I remember all the R.E.M. albums and the years they were released.
I remember the year Bill Berry retired, and I remember the year the rest of the band retired.
I know the middle names of all four original members, including their birthdays.
It’s fun riding the fine line between “Super-Fan” and “Creepy Person With Issues”.
haha.. easy there skills.. I meant I forgot murmur.. great album
