7 days for cutting, 52 days for intentional shaving nicks.
Finally was able to make it back up to a week. -_-
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
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
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life

I just thought I would write a little word of encouragement. For those of you who are meeting and surpassing your goals, congratulations. For those of you who aren't where you want to be, don't be discouraged. Keep moving forward, one day at a time. Honestly, it's an uphill fight for all of us. But, we will win. It might not be as soon as we would like, but all of us are going to see the day where we have won our battle with self harm. So, stay strong, everyone. Keep fighting!
wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.

There's always gonna be another mountain
I am always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometime's I am gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about whats waiting on the other side
Its THE CLIMB

If I let you in, you'd just want out.
If I tell you the truth, you'd vie for a lie.
If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up.
If you follow me, you will only get lost.
If you try to get closer, we'll only lose touch.
I'll be asleep when I hit the one day mark, so I'm just gonna post that it'll be one day at about 2 A.M., and it IS 53 days for shaving nicks.

So I have self harm free for over 2 years I think. Sorry time seems to blur together around how long its been, but I know for a fact I have been free for over 1 year and 6 months and I couldn't be happier about it. I still urges from time to time, but I just shrug them off like their not even there.

Last day I cut: 7-13-2010
I believe in everyone that I help that they will get over whatever they are struggling with.
I regret nothing in my past. My past made me who I am today.
