I found that I missed him the more he was absent from my life, and the more I missed him, the more I loved him.

I feel like I should probably ask you to leave. But I don’t really want you to go. I want you to stay, but I know you shouldn’t.

A Day In The Life Of An Anxious Person

Love this girl to the moon and back. So freakin’ proud! <3

This is me. I’m done with before and after photos. Hypocritical? Maybe, because I’ve posted them many times before. This past week, even, I gave myself a shout-out by featuring a sickly thin “before” photo. Placed next to my current curves, the difference is clear. I mean, typically, 45 pounds will make a difference in appearance in any person. I always was proud to show off my transformation. Maybe because I didn’t get as thin as most anorexia sufferers. Maybe because I now am above the average weight for someone my age and height. I guess I like that I have the strength and the voice to break down people’s assumptions of what eating disorders are and what recovery should look like. So I’ve always been a fan of showing these physical changes. Let my explain my sudden change of heart. I’ve realized something really important: I don’t NEED to share my before pictures. Chances are, most people I’m in touch with know exactly how sick and lifeless I looked at the time. What matters is how I look NOW, and the people who have stuck around to see the newly recovered me. So yeah, this is a picture of myself. But it’s also kind of a shout-out to all of the friends and family who have stuck by my side and toughed it out with me. I love that you guys get to see THIS Haley. And I’m even happier when I realize that this is the ONLY Haley some people know. So keep posting your before and after pictures. I won’t be judging. I just hope you remember to reflect on the present time, knowing that those who truly care for you will always remember how much of a transformation you have made.

Hi, friends!

I want to sincerely apologize for my absence in the worlds of recovery, Tumblr, and Wordpress in the past couple of months. I experienced the worst relapse I had ever had, and it took a lot for me to pull myself into a better place. On top of that, I’ve been crazy busy with work and meeting new friends in Morristown (where I moved this summer!)….so really, truly, I am sorry. I’ll do my best to get back into daily posts and inspiration– that’s what I’m here for, after all!

I want to celebrate a few things: the beginning of fall, pulling myself out of a terrible relapse, and YOU – yup, this is a celebration of my wonderful followers. What better way to celebrate you guys than to do a recovery and self-love giveaway?!

Here’s how this will work:

Must be following me (thepinklining)

Must reblog before Oct. 31 (you can reblog up to 5 times)

Likes will not count as an entry– sorry!!

Must live within the continental United States.

NO TRIGGERING BLOGS ALLOWED.

If you win, I will send you a private message within the first few days of November. You will have 24 hours to respond to my message with your mailing address. IF I DO NOT HEAR BACK FROM YOU, I WILL MOVE ON TO THE RUNNER-UP. 

There will be two winners. Each will get a journal and a notepad (pictured above, but I’ll be choosing who gets which ones!) which will be mailed right to you!

**Winners will be personally chosen by yours truly!!**

Good luck, my friends!! Get reblogging!

HAHA

I don't really know how to process this, or accept it. Not once in three months did you have the time to send me a quick text? Like, great thanks for the apology 3 months later, at least you finally did it. But hell no am I accepting it right now. You have no idea how this impacted me, nor am I going to explain it to you. Fuck off.

Don’t settle. Know what you want and reach for it. And if you don’t know what you want, be patient. The answers will come to you in time, and you may find that your heart’s desire has been right under your nose all the while.

Falling in love with someone is the surest highway to hurt that I know. When the door to love opens, the window to control closes.
