cuz i decided that:

:heart: it would disappoint so many people (me included)
:pinkheart: i'm tired of making excuses
:lavheart: i'd go play games and see if i could change my buses
:lpurpheart: if other people love me, maybe i should start loving myself
:purpheart: i started cleaning an UGH corner of my room :roll:
:dkblheart: i'm too tired
:blueheart: part of my growth process is actually feeling emotions
:lblheart: if i got my blood sugar up i would feel better

Sometimes I give into the urge,,sometimes I don't. Last time instead
of reaching for my blade I just dragged my fingernail down the entire
length of my arm,,,for that time it was good enough and in the end I was glad I didn't cut afterall. :)

Because I have soccer conditioning now, and I have to wear shorts, and I am already in a panic if I think my shorts are too short and you can see scars, and cutting more obvious marks red marks, would make me even more scared and I don't need that right now.

Whew, I said that. I don't need it right now. :D

Because...
*It would hurt myself and I would regret it later
*I would break my boyfriend's heart. Again. And I'm sick of doing that.

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost...

How can someone like you love someone like me?
*I :heart: KP*

because when i overcome the urge to cut myself i feel stronger. i beat down the desire instead of beating up myself.

last time i wanted to cut, or burn, I just called up my best friend and forced her to tell me about the time we had that fight we had and then we went out for ice cream later and had the most heart-to-heart- talk that i felt bound us together. Sometimes i play video games too because I'll be -playing hitman and all i'm thinking is how I'm going to get past this guard and steal the statue...lol. But sometimes there's so much pain, like when boyfriends break up with me for the same reason every time, :cry: that I have to cut, or burn. Sometimes it feels too much to bear, and then it's just like, when the blood runs, the tears dry up. I don't mean to write so much but I've never really felt like I could relate or talk about any of this.
It's cool you guys listen.
:D
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
you were only in my way
you were wrong if you think that I'll be
just like you

i didn't because i listened to the song "i'm moving on" by rascal flatts over and over for about an hour...it helps me remember that i can stop doing this and move on...there is a life out there without si waiting for me whenever i decide to take the steps to stop
