Who am I? I am most surely not Alexandra from Russia. I am not mean, or hateful, or envious. I do not wish harm on others and myself. I am caring, friendly.
I WISH.
Or do I? Kate has a point. If I spent as much time and effort as I do in trying to convince myself and some other people that I want to be happy and stop it, do I really want to ? I really don't know. It's an addiction i believe. I just went on flickr.com, and saw a picture that I could relate to. It was a picture of a wrist with pink makeup lined on it and in written in pen on the arm was "There's gotta be more to life than this." I have found that my baby cousins are part of that more to life for me. But how often do i see them? once every few months? And what happens while that antidepressnt doesn't work? So the photo had a caption beneath it and comments of other users of flickr.com. It stood out to me. copy and paste them then the web adress.

There's a few kids I know at my Youth Group that cut themselves. As a leader, it pains me so much to see them suffer and well, keep quiet about it. They only want a better life. Someone to love them. Someone to show them some form of attention.
If only they knew how much Christ loves them.

The truth is sometimes love is not enough. If someone is seriously depressed and has a chemical imbalance, Jesus probably isn't enough either. When was the last time He healed a diabetic? Sometimes people need meds, therapy, or both to get better. And sometimes people don't get better no matter what they try.
The scars aren't that sad compared to the pain inside. Sometimes cutting is better than the alternative.

ok my writing again. So if you know me clearly you know I have many thoughts, so here they are:
I feel like I might 'get' Kate's feeling about it a teeny bit more. I however still do not know what to do. I am talking to my little sister on aim right now yet, tonight when I go to my room, the thoughts still come to me. I thought last night, well maybe its the meds. but then its me if I don't talk to corrine or kate about it. I feel like unless I see Joanna very soon our friendship is changing. Not becoming less neccesarily, just changing. Then theres the fact that I say when I do it. What if I didn't? Would people think Ive stopped or just being dishonest? Its all up to me. But then I think so if I did try and do something I would not regret but would cause sorrow to SoMe. I think even at the last moment how would I ask for help? just say well I kinda want to slit my wrists oped and OD on my meds? Ive thought about it a little but now I feel hesitant to say because some people are telling me not to and that they love me so I should do it out of love and they want me to lead a life I love but no one but me knows what it feels like to be me.
My only hint-- a tack, vane
