Now, this does not apply to everyone of course.
Only to those who SI; and I don’t condone anyone starting it.
Its a viscious cycle.
For those who do however,
-Have you really thought about your scars and what they mean?
-Have you ever wanted to get rid of them?
-Are you ashamed, or do you regret them?
I have been an SI-er for over 7 years,
I regret starting because it is a viscious cycle and I always told myself that I would never become a part of this life.
Somehow, and someway I did though.
but now, I would not give them up for anything.
They are a part of who I am.
They tell my story.
They are my battle wounds, to prove that life is a battle, but a battle worth the fight.
If it were not for me starting down this road those 7 years ago, I do not think I would still be alive. In moments when I wanted to die the most, I hurt myself in a way that was not eternal.
So my scars are just a part of me.
Not sure when or if I will stop SI
or if I will ever try to find ways to get rid of the scars.
