I have urges right now but I'm holding out because I'm going to a friend's house and they would be disappointed if I cut. I'm also almost at a month and don't want to break before I hit that mark. 
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life

Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

I read over 100 pages of the Hunger Games last night.
"i don't care your intentions. I just want you to know my self-hatred never took me where I wanted to go. At the end of the day...I can pick at the pain but I can't cut it away."

I just wanted to say that you're all doing so well. Even if you try something and it doesn't work, don't lose hope. And remember there are always people who care. 
As for me, once again I've turned to writing.

Im on vacation so i don't have time to think about it.
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

I use art, music, and lately, whenever I feel upset, I make paper origami lucky stars until I'm not upset anymore. I have 42 so far And if I get up to a thousand, I'm going to wish on them, just like the story. Working towards that one wish, even if it may not really work, makes it all worth it to me.

The urge to cut was pretty bad yessterday . . . but I promised my friends I wouldn't . . . and also, when I do, they make me tell them why. I don't like doing that. So I fought it.
