I'm sat here staring at my scarred arms and thinking about how I don't need (or want) anymore scars that I have to hide from my family, coworkers, and patients.
There is no beauty without some strangeness.

I made a post on tumblr saying for every note it got, I would go a day without self-harming. It got 78 notes, so that's my goal.

I've been unpacking. 
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers

The thing I've been doing all this time is postponing it, telling myself if i need to do it that i'll wait and hour or so and see if i still need to do it. Then suicidal thoughts come along, so it's not really working anymore. idk guess cuttings better then death...

I was so pissed at my "friend" last night, but instead of cutting I went for a long walk and listened to angry music. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of hurting me.

Last night to stop myself from cutting, i went on chat, then i listened to music. Also i go swimming a lot so i can't really hide it that well.
From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How all my worst fears are letting out
He said, "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die

Music, rambling, the fact I'll be going swimming Saturday, and knowing I'll be able to talk about it on the 15th.
Thanks to the people I've rambled to.

Watching the original series of star trek to keep my mind occupied from bad thoughts tonight
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice. Cut free since March 6th 2013 Purge free since March 8th 2013
