Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
- The Carpenters
there's a major misunderstanding about the ritual.
people who self-multilate dont do it because they enjoy the pain
primarily they're in some sort of emotional pain
& its a substitute for that.
their brain releases beta-endorphins which trigger a kind of pseudo-euphoria.
so it becomes almost habitual or addictive
i internalize my pain
i dont express it
nor solve it
let your heart out.
