I have a new journal layout! It is pink and cute and it has a kitten face on it! I picked it myself and I worked the buttons and everything but I had to get shown how first.

I have a thing I want to know about but I am not sure who to ask so I put it here because I see people ask things in the journals and this way I can ask everybody.

Why people do things to hurt themselves? Like working too much or doing too many dangerous things or drinking the smelly burny stuff or making themselves dead when they are sad? I don't understand it. I don't like to be hurt or feel sick or be tired all the time and I don't think being dead can be good either. So why people do it? Why don't do something to make them feel happy instead?

I think it is because when people are hurt, they do not think clearly, and when they are not thinking clearly they make bad decisions. You are right, they should do something that would make them feel happy again, but the pain makes them confused. Sometimes, if the pain is great enough, they might even think that hurting themselves is something that will make them feel happy. I have felt that way before, though not for a long time; it is a terrible way to feel.

I believe you if you say it happens but it still very confusing. I been hurt lots, and it never made me feel better. I wouldn't ever think it would.

People are very weird and strange on their insides. They do manylots of things that I don't get at ALL.

Sometimes when people hurt a lot, it can seem like all there are in your life are bad things. And it seems like the logical thing when you're in that mindset, that feeling nothing would be better than just feeling all that hurt and sadness. It's wrong and it's stupid and there's always a better way. It's just not always easy to see.
