Because it's been 2 months and 15 days since my last SI, which is the longest I've gone in the last 3 years, and I didn't want to break my record.

...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.

Because I REFUSE to SI on my birthday, refuse, refuse, refuse


I feel better from the cutting for only a day or so, but after a week when it starts to heal, I feel a lot better - so part of me likes not having the cuts.
"We think the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. The healing comes from letting there be room for it all to happen: Room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." Pema Chodron

"There is room for all of your feelings - take a moment, be quiet and let there be room in your heart and the bursting will ease" C

because I don't want to feel pathetic and weak, and seeing the aftermath makes me feel that way

because I don't want to have to cover it up and be constantly worried someone might see and freak
