Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.

Q: I recently got out of an abusive relationship and I feel like I still can’t escape it. I moved three states away when everything disintegrated. He broke up with me via text message, in the same apartment, no less. We had lived together for two and a half years, and he was my life. Things got rocky towards the end, but as I was sexually abused and made to feel like my feelings weren’t valid, I came to accept that this was my path.

I don’t really know what I’m asking for here, and I’ve never asked for advice like this before. I’m an internalizer for sure… I guess I’m just seeking some guidance or a helping hand. I’m struggling to understand my own reaction, and that unsettles me.

I don’t like writing when I’m angry. I suppose there is technically something therapeutic about allowing the words to pour from your pen, furiously scribbled thoughts pressed hard into the paper rather than the controlled sentences I usually produce. I am never proud of what I write when I’m angry. I still do it every once in a while I guess; some things just need to be let out so they can be released and hopefully not felt anymore. I remember writing when my heart had been broken, when I was longing for something different, when I was so inspired by something beautiful or sad, but I do not write very often when I’m angry anymore.

When I was younger I was angry a lot. I was easily hurt and I wasn’t able to see the bigger picture. As I got older I developed a little more sense and realized that every little thing that happened would eventually pass. Each hurt that came to my life would make its mark, and each day after that it would hurt a little less, until one day it became just a memory. Some memories and aches are sharper than others, like remembering something terrible I said and didn’t mean makes me cringe, but you take it with a grain of salt. I learned to think before I speak, and that a heartfelt apology goes a long way.

Other memories, like songs, are different. There are some songs that invoke such powerful memories of certain places and people that when I close my eyes I can almost go back in time. I can smell, touch, hear certain things, some happy, some impossibly sad. When I hear “Hey, Jupiter” by Tori Amos I am 14 years old in a bed and breakfast in Stratford, England. I smell lavender on my pillow and in the sheets every time I move as I drift off to sleep. It was my last family vacation before my younger brother got really sick and the whole family was out, it was just me in this beautiful place. Lavender and Tori Amos always make me smile.

Artist / SG Member Name: Jenn Lloyd / Hotcurry

Mission Statement: I seek to celebrate beauty in all its forms with bold design and a touch of whimsy.

Medium: Acrylic on canvas.

Aesthetic: Vector art minus the computer. I work by hand to create lines and shapes that represent images. I lack a basic understanding of most things technical. While amazed at the designs artists were coming up with via Photoshop, I worked the only way I knew how –– old school. Everything I make is done with pencil, pen or paint, and remains untouched by computers.

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

This week, Haydin Suicide takes us for a spin around SG’s Ballet Group.

Members: 317 / Comments: 776

• WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: The dance world is small, so having a group of people who are just as passionate about ballet as myself to mingle with is wonderful. I also love the diversity of the group. There are people who simply love to watch ballet as well as new and experienced dancers. This offers a wide range of information for any ballet dancer or ballet fan out there.







• DISCUSSION TIP: Have an interest in Ballet!



• BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “As we jumped into second position the girl in front farted like really loud. I had to go out for a few seconds to compose myself.” – Yes I picked a fart joke! It made me laugh because I’ve seen it happen in class ha ha.
  
  
• MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: Black Swan. The issue that provided cause for argument was the fact that Natalie Portman did not do all of her dancing in the movie so as a dance movie it seemed slightly over rated to those looking for something strictly ballet based. I can understand why this might upset some, however the fact that she didn’t do all her own dancing really didn’t bother me. The way I see it is in most movies there are stunt doubles for action shots, so why not dancers for dance scenes that an actress cannot do. Unfortunately Hollywood is about appealing to the general public and the dance world is relatively small. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie for the dancing as well as the story behind it.






• WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Anyone and everyone who has had ballet cross their mind at some point in life.
