I was so afraid to put this up as more and more people i know in real life are finding my flickr and I'm scared of judgement, but i put that aside and am learning not to care about peoples point of views and perceptions of me.
It has been one year since i last cut myself, and i honestly couldn't be happier. making the choice to not hurt myself anymore was hard, it sounds so grossly screwed up now that i look back but it was apart of me, it was how i dealt with things. people deal with things differently, some turn to alcohol, drugs, sex. i turned to self harm. It was something that slowly progressed over the years, first it was every now and again and then it became constant. it went unnoticed by people for a year. My friends noticed and i was put into therapy, which helped so much. It was still hard to get out of a habit that i was addicted to, that i would think about a lot. But it's finally been one year since i decided to put down that blade and never pick it up again.
I dont wanna babble on about this to much. But i just want to thank each person that is tagged in this picture whether it has been through your art or your kind words you have impacted me and helped me in more ways then you could possibly realise. If it wasn't for flickr and all my friends on here i would possibly still not be in a good space. I also just wanna urge you, if you are self harming, please please please get help. i promise you from the bottom of my heart
it will get better
Please talk to someone, a parent, guardian, friend, teacher, counsellor, boyfriend, girlfriend, aunt, uncle, cousin. ANYONE. just get help. Life will be so much better and much more beautiful.
Cutting and self harming is never the answer. it leads to worse things. Im not saying life will instantly get better. hell i still battle with anxiety and depression and feeling down some times. But it will be the first step to a better life and a better you.
I love you all, stay strong beautiful people. I'm always just a flickrmail away. xx
