1 year of hope


This past Tuesday, on the 20th, was my one year anniversary of the last time I cut myself. I'm proud to say that I've been free of self-injury for one year and my heart has been healing quite wonderfully. I'm so happy to have made it this far.

If this is something you're struggling with, and you're looking for a way out, I want you to know that it's possible. All things are possible. You're going to make it. I believe in you and I believe in me and we're going to climb mountains together. I'll help you through your struggles. I'm always here with a listening ear.

You have the power to make it through this. It might not be all better today but it's okay if things take time.

This past year, I've learned to see the incredible strength that's inside of me. I've learned that inspiration is everywhere. There isn't a place that I venture into that I don't find some source of inspiration. I loved myself before I stopped for good and I love myself even more now. I'm incredibly proud of myself. I've never felt so wonderful before.

I shared my day with friends that I love and I had blast! It was excellent! Thank you for listening to my story. Remember to try to be happy. You are beautiful and you are loved!

self-injury

Today was Self Injury Awareness Day. As you might know, this is something that is very important to me. This month, on the 20th, will be one year without self-harm for me. I'm incredibly proud of myself. I know that I'm strong but I'm only human and sometimes I break. Each day that I've refrained from cutting is a day that I've become stronger. I know that I can make it through bigger things because I've battled this for almost a year now and I'm still winning.

If you are battling depression or are fighting it out with self-injury, I want you to know that you are now alone. You've never been alone and you're stronger than what you're going through. You can make it through this.

If you need inspiration, here are some places you can find it:

There is inspiration all around but here are some places that I usually find some. I know that you're healing wonderfully. I hope you have a beautiful day.
