In honor of Self-Injury Awareness Day, 

I started cutting myself as a child with budding breasts and pigtails, and I never really understood why. The idea of ‘loving myself’ or ‘putting myself first’ was always in the back of my mind. Growing up, I covered my forehead with bangs because my friends told me I looked better that way. I ran extra laps around the block to stay thin so the boys would notice me. Voices of teachers would fade as I sat by my desk, imagining the father I never met would burst through the schools doors and take me somewhere more interesting. For me, life became less interesting everyday. Less meaningful, less bright. 

Sometimes I feel ashamed as a grown woman that still hurts herself, but I’m slowly learning that my mental illness does not have to define me, and everyday I’m learning new ways to rebuild myself.

To the ones hiding in corners with tear stained cheeks, you are beautiful and worthy of love. The strength inside each of us is beyond our understanding. I have relapsed again and again, but I am still here. You are still here, and you belong. 

The scars on my arms are not beautiful, but I am beautiful despite them.
