I've wanted to cut for the past few days because my pet died. I've resisted because I know he wouldn't have wanted me to hurt myself. He was always so strong, even when he lost his brother. I've got to be strong too. For him. <3

I love this!!! For started I tried doing it for my boyfriend and failed one time and cut more because I felt like I failed Jim. Then I found the butterfly project. It save me. I drew a butterfly for my boyfriend and for this girl I talked out of suicide. I draw butterflies over my scars now. Also my therapist has been wanting me to write down what I'm feeling when I want to cut. I took this to an extreme and sit down and wrote a letter to my bitch of a best friend telling her how I really felt about how she is but I never sent it. I just did it for me to vent and feel. It really helped. I also think I'm going to start painting again. I'm sure that will help bunches. :)

I'm getting overdue school work done and other things done on time or early.
I'm making myself proud of myself. :)

I've wanted to cut multiple times today, but I thought about my best friend who has never let me down and was able to prevent myself. Also, a few people stopped me right before I did, without knowing it.

I tossed the blades. I'm not liking it at the moment, but at least it's working.

I just picture everyone who cares about me in my head. People who have cared for me, people who I KNOW care for me, and people who I hope care for me. It gives me glimmers of hope. Because, honestly, no one is truly alone.

People tend to care for you more than you know.

Their faces cheer me up. And occasionally I will call one up who will talk me down.

I like to laugh out loud for no reason and imagine how crazy people would think I was if they saw me laughing all by myself.

And I give my reflection pep talks whenever I think anything negative.

Better to look silly than to self-harm :p

For me, it's all about seizing those little moments when you can be happy and holding them tight, even though they can be flighty little bastards. That's what makes it worth it.

407 days and counting :D

I love Black Veil Brides, they inspire me so much. Knives and Pens.. Andy Biersack says that the song "Knives and Pens" means choose between cutting or writing. I try to write. I always tried to write anyway, so this inspires me not to do it more. But I have broken my 1 month break from self harm, so now I am only a few hours... :'(
