Shannon Cameron

Worrying about what others thought about me and everything I did prevented me from enjoying the simplest of things in case they weren’t good enough or to someone else’s standard
Now I have the attitude that I shouldn’t conform to anyone else’s expectations beside my own <3
I can assure you, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders: I can read without worrying that I look nerdy, I can paint without worrying that someone’s going to put my work down, and I can dress exactly how I want to.
High School will never get me down ;) 4 days ago

Why thank you :) it made me feel like a better person, no matter how many times I was pushed away 1 month ago

Aww, why thank you (: 2 months ago

For the past few months, I have been a member of over 6 social networking sites, none of which are mainstream and I always ensure that I don’t know anyone on there.

They are often self harmers and suicidal people among the happy teens and bustling hipster kids. So what did I do?

I helped them of course.

So far, I have managed to talk several into getting professional help which has been successful, and I have talked many out of suicide – numerous lives are now saved.

If they have problems you can’t deal with, still be there for them – don’t drop them! Even if they are being stubborn and aggressive, care all the same because sometimes it’s when someone is being harsh that they need to be loved the most.

You might read this and think ‘get a grip’, but really, please do something. You have no idea how far a little consideration goes:

I hope that your situation eases too, and it’s true and I completely agree that honest people sometimes aren’t given the love they very much need and deserve. It’s a real shame. 7 months ago

Congratulations :D I wish you both the best! 7 months ago

I won’t deny it, I find it really difficult to connect to people. After having an entire group of friends betray me and 2 very important people to me die, my trust and longing to get close to people suddenly collapsed.

I know that in order to fall in love truly, I have to learn to trust, learn to give, learn to recieve and most importantly I need to let go of the past.

• Trust
• To let go
• To give
• To recieve
• Honesty

:) at least I’m getting somewhere! 7 months ago

I don’t really know if there are any answers, but there’s a million going through this and kudos to them all :) and Good Luck to you too, thank you :D 9 months ago

Well this has to be the most confusing part of the whole darn lot :P

I wont deny it, people have asked me on dates and stuff but of course they dont love me. The difference is, that if the person truly loved me, they wouldnt try and force me into things, they wouldnt make me question how I look, and they shouldnt make me feel uncomfortable around them.

If I’m going to be loved, I’d rather it was for me being myself :/

Yeah, of course there’s no such thing as perfection :) I will happy deal with their flaws, issues and problems, just as long as they can accept that mine are a part of me too :c

Oh well. Wish me luck :’) because I have a looong way to go yet… 9 months ago

Well, I know that I’ve got to keep having faith, without hope in something, you get nowhere

I was such a hermit, and I still kind of am, but I’m trying to get out there more :3 I’m trying to be ‘out there’ online as well because even little steps to boost confidence makes approaching people more easy

I refuse to give up without a fight :D 9 months ago

i’ll admit it, it definately wont be the same, but thats a good side to it because then things cant go wrong like they might have done previously. there will always be good times, and there will always be bad, but its the pulling through which truly matters, and i think you will do just great :D
as long as you believe that things will look up, they will. and one things for sure, love comes when either a) you dont want it or b) when you least expect it. just sit back and enjoy peace while you can ;) 12 months ago

this is what your entire life is for, and you’ve only lived a fraction of it :D 12 months ago

Sometimes i think im about to fall for someone, then something gets in the way – normally myself.
But theres one person who i cant get off my mind easily o: its definately not love, dont get me wrong, but this is HOW you learn to fall for someone.
He knows me better than i know myself, as in everything from my taste in music to my humour.
Im fussy with music ;) its hard to pick something out for me, my friends try endlessly for hours to find something i like and casually fail haha
He just selected 5 songs at random that he liked and thought i might like, ...i loved every single one of them :D
Hes not loveydovey and nor am i. He can hand out jokes but take jokes too. Hes nice in his own way.
Im just hoping that this’ll add to the experience xD

Wish me Luck!<312 months ago

sadly, thats true. like art or an instrument or even maths, in order to learn how to do something, you have to make a mistake to reach the end and get the right outcome.
Love works that way too:)

Sometimes heartbreak has a good outcome: you learn from what went wrong and know what not to do with the next relationship…
But sometimes it has a bad outcome: you’re too scared to love again and hide…

I agree with everything you said, and thankyou c: 13 months ago

More than anything
I wish I was loved, and that I’d love that person back.
Sometimes it feels impossible
So I’ve got to keep reminding myself that…
it is possible :)

At the time I feel stupid for wanting such things, but being loved and being in love is what teaches us to grow up, to be who we are, to live our lives.

you know what…?
I can’t wait til it’s my turn :P

Love Is…

♥ An Addiction
♥ A Devastation
♥ A Truimph
♥ A Curse
♥ A Blessing

Being In Love Will…

♥ disappoint you.
♥ hurt you.
♥ make you happy.
♥ make you laugh.
♥ bring you tears.
♥ bring you fears.

BUT

it’ll make you stronger. ♡
it’ll make you who you are. ♡
it’ll give you a reason. ♡

Love Is…
...something to be cherished. :D 14 months ago

thats the worst part of it all really, that people are busy in denial, or they’re taking it to heart so badly that they try to fix everyone else and put themselves last.

It truly isn’t fair how not everyone gets a look in… 14 months ago

when you find out that someone loves you, and you don’t love them back – you can’t help but feel a pang of pity :(
why? why couldn’t i love them back? why couldn’t i be in a relationship with someone that cares?

The worst thing you could do is pretend, because when you lie to them, you personally become unhappy putting on a face to get you through the day, not only that but then the person themselves become hurt.

BUT…when someone tells you that they care, and you feel the same, something is complete :3
If happiness is a rainbow, then theyre the colour to your world <3 15 months ago

there’s nothing wrong with needing someone, we all will at some time in our life – maybe even several.

but the truth is:

sometimes it’s the people who always give advice that need it themselves.

sometimes it’s the people that are always there for you that need someone to be there for them.

sometimes it’s the people that push you away that need you to hold them close.

they don’t tell anyone…because they’re scared.so don’t push them away :) they need you too

We’re only human❤ :3 15 months ago

I know how daft this sounds…but I’m happy b/c I made someone else happy xD

My opinion on the world is that to gain any peace whatsoever, we have to work together, accept responsibility for one another, and help eachother when in need

I’m Shannon Cameron, I’m 15 years old, but I’ve saved 2 suicidal people and 5 self harmers :D and I’m on my way to help a bulimic <3

They’re people with feelings, just like me, and I find that people in need are always there for you back in the way that you were there for them

My best guy friend loves woodwork in school, so instead of cutting himself and spending his money on drinking, I persuaded him to use the money towards a craft set and that he should carve into the wood – not his skin

I’m not making this entry to blow my own trumpet and say ‘look at me!! I help people!!” but b/c I want you to do this:

Help People – We Only Have One World, & We Can Save It15 months ago

Some will understand this, some wont

The fact is, once you find something or someone that even makes you a little bit happy – everything else seems to fall into place.

It’s definately something worth fighting for, to be honest :D

The only way you’ll ever be happy, is to love the person you are. How can you expect to love someone, or someone to love you if you can’t even care about yourself?

:) I’ll work hard, because I know that it’ll be one of the best things I’d have ever done with my life <3 16 months ago

to be loved sounds like a big ask sometimes…
but it’s not :D

there’s a person out there meant for you…
and only you (:

they’ll fix you’re broken heart & make the pieces fit…
as if you were a jigsaw puzzle :3

life becomes clearer, no longer a maze of hurt & tangled lies…
because they’ll see you to the very end

A broken heart is only a heart thats afraid to love again

but once you’re loved, you’ll forget everything bad thats happened, because you’ll have a person whos loyal to you by your side :D

so dont be afraid :3

you know something? i will :) and i’ll write a blog for future members that havent joined :D thankyou <3 16 months ago

sometimes i wonder if he’ll ever come…
but he will :)

im a member of an underground socialsite (hardly heard of so im not going to bother with the name, there’s only like 8,000 members) :L but the amount of people who genuinely want to find someone is quite numbstrucking :(

the site im on is for alternitave people, such as emos, scene, goths, but also people who are broken.

the number of people who have had their heart broken, or have been used, cheated on, lead on by someone, rejected…it was so hard to see, and i felt like making a massive post for them all to see saying ‘It’s Going To Be Okay!(: You’ll Find Someone!’

I just wish that everyone had the same realization i have, but i know as soon as they do – they’ll forget all their heart breaks, the poeple who used them, the cheats, the people who lead them on, and those who rejected them :)

Who ever reads this and is wanting to find the person of their dreams – I’d wish you luck…but you dont need it xD 16 months ago
