hey! i know that particularly with the start of a new school year, a lot of people are feeling lonely and are struggling with their mental health. at some point, i would like to find the funds to send mental health care packages, but until then, how about some mental health support letters?
i’ll send a hand written letter along with other little things such as playlists, art, poetry, stickers, etc.! this is just to give you a little boost but if you’d like an actual pen pal and feel like writing back, feel free to do so but it’s definitely not a requirement or expectation!
unfortunately, i can only do this within the UK, but even if you’re not in the UK i’d appreciate if you could reblog to help reach more people.
if you’re interested, please message me with your name and address for me to send the letter, along with your pronouns, what you’ve been struggling with, and some of your favourite things (favourite colours, animals, anything!)

me to myself: be calm
show me the places where the others gave you scars (insp.)
Some days I need you more than others,
days when I don’t feel like myself and
I have forgotten my name and
why I keep putting one foot in front of the other.
These days I wish you could just hold me,
just hold me in your arms tight,
center me and be my light.
Be the warmth that keeps away the infinite cold,
that I feel chills me to the bone.
Hold me in these days when I am not strong,
when I am but a muted shadow of myself
when I need a reason to hold on.
I don't know if I am being selfish,
but I just tell you what I must,
what I feel deep inside my heart and
I need you so much every day of my life,
but these days I need you most,
to remember I am worth loving and fighting for.

i never feel like i have enough time to do anything. i have so much to learn and to accomplish but i always feel like i’m being chased by the shadows of shortening hours, and i have to remind myself to breathe.

I loved you. maybe still do, who knows? maybe it hurts me to think I still love and care for you when the feeling may or may not be mutual on your side.
It hurts to know I gave you my all for the time it lasted, I poured all my love and affection to you as you undoubtedly continued to mourn for her. was I not enough? what was it she had and I didn't ? was my smile not attractive enough? was my hair not long enough? all I wanted was to enjoy sleepless nights in your embrace but I guess that was not in your plans. the effort was way too much for you to put in. does it even hurt you that we're no longer one. does my absence not affect you? was it even real... I mean what we had was it real? or was it merely a distraction for you to forget her? I guess I'll never know.
Gotta nip them in the bud from now on
