I have 20, that won't go away... I don't know why...a constant reminder of my self-hatred I suppose.
Why do we allow ourselves to get hurt over and over again, i swear sometimes it's we want to.
I don't know the answers and I probably never will, but I hope the best to you and search for the truth. "

" i have over 80 cuts all over my body. i dont know people count them!

i have no idea why scars dont fade away! i wash they did.

i dont look at other people pictures of cuts because it triggers for me!

just stop beating yourself up! we choose to get hurt over and over again. the hard part is choosing not to get hurt!

i hope that helped you alittle!

im here if you want to talk. "
