Something are just never the same after you make the first cut. You never forget the feeling.

Shaving becomes risky, sharpening pencils becomes triggering, even straight lines can set you off.

Never start cutting if you already have the choice. No matter how long you're safe for, you never ever forget.

Just someone simply saying the word cut in a casual sentence will have you cringing. People joking leave you feeling like crap.

No, it's not because we are weak. We've been strong for far too long. It's a traumatizing experience and you can never see sharp objects the same.

So to you, dear reader, if you haven't, don't start. That's one thing all self harmers agree on, that once you start, it's hard to stop.

Addictions leave you a mess and you'll do anything to get that feeling you so crave. We're sensitive, to the mistakes we have made.
