Deadmarch: Sylvia Plath effect

"The Sylvia Plath effect is a term coined by psychologist James C. Kaufman in 2001 to refer to the phenomenon that creative writers are more susceptible to mental illness than other people. Kaufman’s work demonstrated that female poets were more likely to suffer from mental illness than any other class of writers. This finding has been discussed in many international newspapers, including the New York Times. The finding is consistent with other psychological research studies.

The effect is named after the American poet Sylvia Plath, who committed suicide when she was thirty years old."

6 things I wish i could say

1.You've remained a friend to me but i think thats only because you dont know how to be by yourself. I appreciate you and all, but it is imperative you learn to stand up for yourself, sir.

2. Im hardly attracted to anyone physically, but cotdamn do you make my mind turn into a private screening of custom-made xxx's. Is it gettin' hot in here?

3.YOU are a great friend. And you are loyal. These things are important to me and you are important to me. We've had hilarious not-sober times but also fun staying clean(8 and you never judge. ever.

4.You've always been my best friend. Since I was eight years old. I know this, and you know this. There are only so many ways I can say it lol. I love you.

5. You're a phony and you're a coward. I cant believe I used to look up to you. And I guess you could try and say the same about me, but the only difference is I would actually say this to your face.

6. Thank God for your impeccable timing. At times I sit back and just think like "How the fuck did i get blessed with a guy like this?" because honestly, I havent done anything in my life to deserve someone like you.

Pretty Eyes & Laughter

Sometimes i miss the fuck out of everyone and it kills me. Really. I feel like i'm all alone and the only people whom i gave the stories of my past, ran with it. I just dont want to miss anyone else. I'm starting to feel like i'll never have another bestfriend. I know i will be settling if anyone else called me their best friend. Kayla is NOT Meg, Chris is NOT Mia, and Jazmin damn sure is NOT Danielle. And while i have other people that i consider my best friends, i dont have enough makeshift bfflz to compare them to. *Sigh*












But what's so wrong with being alone? Alone's the only way i've ever known.
