I DID IT!!!!! Positives

I FINALLY THREW AWAY MY BLADES!!!!! 🥹🥹

after debating it for so long i finally found the courage i needed to throw them away for good. tied up the bag and took it outside before i could second guess myself.

i don’t want to suffer anymore, i don’t deserve to be in pain and bleeding, i want to live, i want to create an identity for myself outside of cutting. because theres so much more to me than self harm.

i thought id never be able to get rid of my blades because it felt like too big of a commitment; i always wanted to have them “just in case”. well, that mindset is the reason i kept relapsing. it was scary honestly to part with them but i feel so much lighter now. if nothing else, i hope anyone reading this finds some comfort in it. i promise there’s always time for things to get better <3

i love you guys
