Dear Insecure,

I toss and turn rapidly in my sleep. Unless I have someone's hoodie I'm sleeping with, I basically throw the covers off my bed during the night.

I do quizzes and bulletins on Myspace because I'm avoiding doing homework. Because otherwise I wouldn't pay the time of day to them.

I don't like what I see when I see myself staring back in the mirror.

I always apologize when someone gets angry because I typically think it's my fault why they are angry.

I feel like I'm on the edge of life. I don't feel quite like I belong, if I'd disappear nobody would notice.

I hate being alone. I can barely stand staying at home alone. If I am, I stay on the computer because I don't feel as alone when I'm on there.

I don't think I deserve the happiness I have in my life. I've done nothing to deserve it. I should earn it, not it just be given to me.

What can I do?

Sincerely yours,
The Child In The Dark



Dear Child In The Dark,

Do not worry my dear. Life is full of misunderstandings and problems. Not everything can be solved in the blink of an eye, with the flick of the wrist or the snap of the fingers. You need to hold onto your life and make it enjoyable. Something can come nothing, and vise versa.

Not everything in life can be solved either. You just have to live with what life gives you and make the best out of it.
