I'm surprised our illegals haven't started pulling that crapola.

as a former self-harmer (almost two years free now) these make me so sad, but at the same time also make me feel great pride for being in a place where i can look at pictures like this and not have the urge to cut myself.

That's really great Maerlyn, you should be proud! I did feel a slight hesitation in posting, thinking it could be triggering to some...

thank you, i am! it took a while to get to this point but it was all worth it. and usually people who are trying to fight the urge know what to avoid, so hopefully no one who might be triggered is seeing these images :)

You definitely deserve much praise and kudos. :)
