Assorted Debaucheries Turns 6

So much has happened in the past six years. I've been sitting here for what feels like an hour trying to type something profound, to put into words what I'm feeling right now. All I can do is give my undying thanks to this wonderful community, for making me feel like no matter what's going on in my life, I always have a home here with you. Thank you so much, to every single one of you. You all mean the world to me, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

When I started this blog, I wasn't in a good place. I had just graduated high school, I had no job, no real friends, a declining relationship, and no real prospects on what I wanted to do with my life. I remember sitting alone in my room for hours, fantasizing about how much better my life would be if I could just get out of my own way. I used to sit in my room for hours, sometimes even days on end, succumbing to my depression, sinking deeper into the abyss that was my mind. I still have scars on my arms and legs from the eraser burns I used to give myself, hoping that physical pain would somehow wash out my emotional pain, but it never did. 

I'm not telling you this to get pity, I'm writing this because if you're anything like I was, I want you to know that you can, and you will get better. I want you to know that if you feel like you have nothing to live for, if you feel like no one cares about you, that you're wrong. I want you to know that you matter to someone, anyone. I want you to know that you matter to me.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU MATTER.

There is hope, I promise. Obviously, I can't walk a mile in your shoes - if I could, these captions I make wouldn't just be fantasy. But if you ever need someone, anyone to talk to, please email me at assorteddebaucheries7609@gmail.com and I promise I will be an open ear for you. I'm not a trained psychologist, by any stretch, but if you ever need to vent, someone to listen to you, I'm here for you.

In honor of this blog existing for six wonderful years, below are six captions for your viewing pleasure. Oh, and since I missed last year's anniversary completely, I've included 5 additional captions as well.

Stay debaucherous, darlings, but more importantly, please stay.
