welcome to mybutterfly-project. read my bio for more information.
 
- those pictures were my wrist today.
my first time doing this project, and hopefully my last.
the first picture was taken this morning, the other, when i got in from school this afternoon.
 
most of my self harm scars have healed, 'cept my freshest one. see those two lines going down the left side of my wrist? yeah. those are nail scratch marks. been there about three weeks now.
 
i'm doing the butterfly project because i'm slowly starting to slip back into my depression quite harshly. i've been under stress both at home and school. keep falling out with family members, just feeling like i'm in the way. almost as if it'd be so much easier if i wasn't there, 'cause i'm in the way most times.
yesterday morning i had a big argument with mum. things were said, i cried.
it got too the point i felt i needed to cut as my only coping stratgery. instead i listened to All Time Low, and just kept my head down whilst i continued to get ready for school.
my dad spoke to me about something completely irrelevant, and my voice just broke. i just cracked into more tears. that's probably the worst feeling, it's almost like you're drowning in your own personal disappointment.
 
so, today i drew my butterfly.
named it after my boyfriend, 'cause he's trying everything he can to make me know i'm not alone in this. helping me each night by practically becoming my therapist on facebook. giving longer hugs and holding me tight.
he loves me, and he cares.
