My therapist and I were talking today about combating my negative cognitive thinking with a positive alternative. Whenever I hear in the very back of my mind that I am worthless, useless, stupid, inadequate, not deserving of love and ugly, I’m supposed to tell myself that I do have worth, that I am good enough, that I do deserve love and good things.
It feels like I’m lying to myself when I attack those negative thoughts with good ones. But she said that over time and with enough positive cognitive thinking, that negativity I feel towards myself will be outweighed by the positive.
This is so hard but I have to push through it. I’ll be better.
You will be better too.

Not even going to lie, I got this tattoo because of a girl. I loved her with everything I had, honest to god. For the time we were together, we had an inside joke about libraries. We’d tell our parents we were going to the library when in reality we’d end up in the middle of nowhere kissing and talking and just being together in our own little bubble. It’s been over for quite some time, and unfortunately I still love her, but this is the only way I know how to end her chapter in my life. Done at Victory Tattoo in Derby, Kansas.

People get really irritated by mental illness. ‘Just fucking get it together! Suck it up, man!’ I had a breakdown, and a spiritual friend came to visit me in the psych ward. And they said, ‘You need to get out of here. Because this is the story you’re telling yourself. You know, Patch Adams has this great work-group camp where you can learn how to really celebrate life.’ It’s something people are so powerless over, and so often they want to make it your fault. It’s nobody fault. I started thinking of suicide when I was 10 years old—I can’t believe that that’s somebody’s fault. Like, ‘Oh, you’re just an attention getter.’ Mental illness isn’t seen as an illness, it’s seen as a choice…. I have a joke about how people don’t talk about mental illness the way they do other regular illnesses. ‘Well, apparently Jeff has cancer. Uh, I have cancer. We all have cancer. You go to chemotherapy you get it taken care of, am I right? You get back to work.’ Or: ‘I was dating this chick, and three months in, she tells me that she wears glasses, and she’s been wearing contact lenses all this time. She needs help seeing. I was like, listen, I’m not into all that Western medicine shit. If you want to see, then work at it. Figure out how not to be so myopic. You know?’

When it hurt to love her,
It hurt the way the light hurts your eyes in the middle of the night,
But I had to see.
