@ xsullengirlx i am currently in recovery on august eight it will be one month SI/SH free. I love what you said " Everyone has scars on the inside But we just happen to have them on the outside" and i was wondering if i could use that line for a recovery tattoo i will be gettting i would really appreciate it. what you said is extreamly true and i would love to be able to use it for everyone to see.

@christianteen92 Congrats on your ongoing recovery! I know you can do it, stay strong :) I'm very proud of you. <3 Of course you can use any line you want to, I'd love to see it when it's done.

You're reallyyy pretty, wish I looked like yhouu. No homo =3 xx

@BrunetteButtercup thank you, but for future reference, no one is going to think you're homosexual if you tell someone of the same sex they look nice. :)

Not to get off track (I love that you're taking a stand, by the way!) But I have the same exact Miss Monroe cutout in my bedroom as well. :)

@DragonflysCompass great minds think alike, and obviously you have great taste! :D

I had a really serious relationship with a girl a few years ago. She knew and she forced me to stop or she'd break up with me. It was really hard but I didn't want her to leave me so I really had no choice... If I had a tiny tiny scratch she'd confront me about it... I'm glad it's over and that I never meet someone like her again :/ The threats didn't work at all. I need help, not threats...

This is a great video. Its so hard to tell your girlfriend if they don't know, and I guess it depends on the person but if they really do care about you I think they will understand. My experience is that they will be very concerned but so respectful and helpful, so mine was positive, but definitely it has to be a committed relationship. If its that serious they probably already know you are depressed at least sometimes.

When are you going to make more vids?!

[retroscenery]

What really helped me with my boyfriend was telling him before we got intimate or had sex. It made him a lot more prepared and like he could trust me BECAUSE I was willing to tell him.

Being younger, having a relationship and then breaking up, and getting hurt.. Well I know how that feels..

[321Chocolatelover]

so much respect for you <3

[TheEyez82]

ok one, you are sooo pretty and your videos help me SO much! 2, every rude person that makes rude stupid comments can fuck off why are you wasting her time by posting these irrelevant comments?? 3. Thank you for everything you do and if you were a "qualified counselor" I'd probably go to you haha
