Music XIX

Here are the lyrics :
Another day where I ask myself why
Avoid the mirror 'cause it's something that I've
Been putting off but I need to do
I let it go and I think of you 'cause
There was a time when we'd look and laugh, but now
I can't help but looking in the past
Turn back time and then we'd turn it around
Change your mind and turn it upside down

Turning back, no I'm not faking
You know I'm yours for the taking
This is where we left off baby
Counting down the days 'til maybe I'll be home again

Chorus:
Somebody wake me, I must be dreaming
Of all we've held on to
I'm falling back to you
So will you take me, back to the day we'll always
Remember and say that this is the way we'll stay
I'll take you away

Open my eyes and I think to myself
Is this a joke and if it is then do tell
You hold a heart you wouldn't have to steal
A perfect smile and the looks that kill, so
You took a chance when you knew I was a mess
There's something 'bout you that was different from the rest
Turn back time and then we'd turn it around
Sweep you off your feet and lift you up off the ground

Turning back, no I'm not faking
You know I'm yours for the taking
This is where we left off baby
Counting down the days 'til maybe I'll be home again

Somebody wake me, I must be dreaming
Of all we've held on to
I'm falling back to you
So will you take me, back to the day we'll always
Remember and say that this is the way we'll stay
I'll take you away

And I don't want to write another song about you
But baby I have to
And I don't know if I could find the words to tell you
All the things that I want to
No, I'm gonna let it go
And no, no, no, I'm gonna let it go

Somebody wake me, I must be dreaming
Of all that we've been through
I'm falling back to you
So will you take me, back to the day we'll always
Remember and say that this is the way we'll stay
I'll take you away
Somebody wake me, I must be dreaming
Of all we've held on to
I'm falling back to you
So will you take me, back to the day we'll always
Remember and say that this is the way we'll stay
I'll take you away

They are so awesome, so I decided to put dance songs
For you all to cheer up
Dance* dance* dance* ! :D
Have a awesome and rocking weekend! ^^

NOTE : The videos and content belong to their
Rightful owners!

I am back!

Life is back.
I held this nickname for the past year and a little before.
Although it has lost its original meaning...

...I will still carry it with me.
I will be Life for whoever needs so .
I will be Life for whoever needs support or a helping hand.

I am still alive eventhough I left this blog inactive
I stopped writing for some months already (I believe)
But now as the times are a bit more stable
I decided to return and write once again
About some good and awareness subjects.

Have a nice weekend everyone
Kind regards,

Life

Depression and Meds

Another point of view.
In my opinion I do not aprove meds much
Usually the organism gets used to the doses.
For some it does work well AND it might be necessary,
On this i'm speaking about...Antidepressants.

I had contact and took for some weeks one called Prozac
Called Fluoxetine over here in PT.
I experienced some side effects such as weight loss,
dry mouth and several headaches.

Some might not agree on this article
But I, speaking as a person who is struggling with depression
Since 2007/2008... I'ld rather go for more natural
Or possible healthier ways of treatment.

p.s.: I'm not rejecting all meds or Prozac in particular
I'm just giving my own opinion.
Yet, do take care of yourself and check which is the best way for you
As some meds can be effective for x and not for y...
Or even harmful for z.

I'm writting as someone who cares for others
And too, wants to take care of herself.
I hope you find your path soon ;
Some lights are around the blog

AND Remember :

Stay strong ! :)
Many blessings,

Life.

Depression - Testimony

I don't wish this even to my worst enemy

Because it torments you, it destroys
It makes you think dark and horribly.
Like you're sinking...

It kills. Worst thing is,
When it kills it is mostly by your own hands
But not on your own thoughts or will.

Like one friend said to me :
[...] A parasite meant to bring pain and suffering
By plaging your thoughts and ruin relationships
Because you think you are so alone...
You start thinking you're worthless....
That no one cares. A vicious cycle.

And you might just have it all
Be good looking
And having a good/healthy weight.
Friends, a partner/other half,
A successful or at least honest career
A loving or at least caring family...

[...] It is hard even to write this
I had forbidden myself from such negativity
As it isn't personally healthy for myself
But I want to raise some awareness on this.

We have to stay strong
Even when thoughts
(Or as others have voices...)
Tell us otherwise.

We are strong enough by going this far already
By opening up. By sharing.
By accepting help...which I took a year to accept.
By taking a step to get treated.

He told me...we are fighters
For we have daily chalenges.
So and finishing... whoever in this situation
Know you're not alone nor that
you aren't the only one with such troubles.
We are together in this...

Depression - Awareness

As I searched for videos for awareness of self injury
I decided to search for some...in this case for depression.
...Scary in my opinion.
Weird, sad voice...
No more words to describe it...
See it for yourself.



Types of Depression :
- Bipolar ;
- Dystimia ;
- Major Depression ;
- Maniac Depression ;

Self Injury - Awareness

Some times words can be VERY effective
I watched both myself
And they contain no trigering images.



This one is a message for whoever needs it.
I personally liked it, I am not sure if I posted before
But there you go ! :)



This one I couldn't put the video
So, I'll leave link to the video...
There just click : Self Harm Awareness

Before any judgement is made,
We have to learn to separate things
And actually KNOWING them.

Interrails?

Well, news flash!
A friend has invited me
Ummm...Next year I suppose
To join her on a interrail
OMG! It would be sooooooooo cool!
*Dreamy mood*

Anyways, I've considered

Some websites on interrails :

+ Juventude.pt
(I didn't find much on this website...)

+ CP -- Interrails - Info

AND more info on stuff of CP Interrails
More like ... what to bring along and such.
Which is ALWAYS useful and welcome.

+ CP -- Interrails - What to take

+ Another Interrail website

...I find them rather interesting
But I don't think I am ready for any adventure for now
Maybe next year (2012 owwhh).
This year I am focusing on my job then
If I do save money and have conditions for it
I'm going to nl. Probably Amsterdam.

Helping out someone

I've been thinking about this a long it
It actually when I think TOO hard
It kinda makes me angry.
...I do trip and fall often.
Rainy weather now and then
The heels? Or the slippery floor?
Or is it me? Whatever.

Let's say I almost fell from all the stairs in the subway
They are around 10, maybe more than that...
Luckily (according to circunstances)
I slipped and fell from 4 steps.
I hurt my leg slightly along.
It got better in the afternoon.

Again it is NOT my point the fact that I fell
My point is about the ammount of people
That were behind me and in front of me
And NO ONE (yes none of them) said anything
Or has done anything.

I "condemn" other atitudes like...
Whenever someone has an accident
Or whenever there is a fight

People gather around in a circle or a little crowd
And spread rumors, comments ect. regarding it
But when someone asks for witnesses
They all vanish.

Come on, is that hard to help people out??
Whether they are young or old
Or just in trouble or hurt.
...Are people THAT selfish?

Do people just mind their own business?
Maybe both , maybe only one.
I'm not only speaking of my experience
But on others too.

Self Injury - Cover Scars?

I'ld like to give my opinion on the matter.
Although I will work further
On the Social and Society section/page
Because I do like to give my opinion[s] on subjects
And I kinda enjoy being updated on stuff.

This one...
As I previously said *or not*
Since 2008 and late 2009
And parts of 2010...
I was a self injurer (or as most call, a cutter)
Although there are other ways of s.h.

According to this...
That happened I tried to cover the cuts up

By wearing these :
p.s.: Most images are online
All the rights belong to their owners.

- ...Multiple



Then with few of these too...



- Never had or wore these...
(Animal or mostly known as silly bands)
Although I know several teens use them nowadays
And were or are a "trend"
They were never attractive to me or anything.



This one is interesting...
It's made with pins and beads.
Then something to put them together



There is this video on a red bracelet
Made of those for self harm awareness.
When I have the time AND when I find the video
I shall post it here. Along with a tutorial
If I find it as well.

Note : It belongs to its rightful owners
NOT me. I am only sharing.

- Rarely these two...
(Which are both rubber bracellets)





And I wore this one...

- Wristband.
They cover the wrist only as the name says.
*I will post the image when I get home*

- Pandora Bracelets.
I absolutely am fascinated by these
They are soo pretty
But I do not know if they are expensive
OR not.





Note :
As an alternative...
...You can make your own jewelry.
Good luck ! :D

As for more on covering up...

- Armwarmers
Some go for this option
Whether for fashion/own style,
Casually or for covering up their cuts or scars
Some can be purchased at stores
Others make them out of socks *true*
If they do have the skill for it.





(It varies according to your country)
But most likely you can purchase it
At stores like claires, hot topic,...
Depending on the style.

Alternative style?
Most likely on online, local stores
Hot Topic and Claires.

Others styles?
Try out known stores...
For example Forever 21, Accesorize,
Pimkie, Biju Briggite, Zara, BSK...
OR even online.

- Gloves
There are a lot of gloves around!
Which can be...

- Gloves w/ fingers
These are pretty casual.
And they can cover for short periods of time
The hands and just a bit of the wrist.



- Fingerless gloves








- Lace Gloves





p.s. I loved this one! OMG :o



- Fishnet gloves







- Knitted gloves / armwarmers
You can either buy them already
OR make them yourself.
Depending on your patience, skills and/or money.







- Others...

Make up?
I NEVER personally done this but on some videos
Some people cover their scars
By using foundations or concealers
Around the already scar

To hide/cover it up
I don't think that has a very effective result
Plus it is make up anyways...

Sleeves / Legs ?
You can consider wearing sleeves around the winter/autumn time
Well BEFORE summer and the heat actually starts
Otherwise not only people might find it odd
But you might have some hard times
So it is adviced to wear armwarmers
And such as I pointed out above.

As for the legs it is a troubled story
In case you're a boy in the meantime you can consider
Wearing jeans and few times shorts;

But if you are a girl...
You can either use jeans
Or choose between :

Collants OR leggings...
They are good options too.
As for the leggings there are some that kinda
Imitate jeans and aren't THAT warm
So they are wearable.

At the pool OR beach
You can try for a while to wear a *pareo.
