While I pride myself in promoting sex and body positivity and self love and all that goodness, I am often pretty reluctant to post anything related to my own history of self harm. I was lucky that I had the forethought to focus all of my efforts on one part of my body for years, so I only have one affected area to worry about rather than several. So I’m super excited because this weekend I’m finally going to be able to start working on my coverup tattoo (a series of pinned and spread insects that have significant meaning to me) and soon my forearm will become more of a piece of art and less of a piece of bad memories. To all of you who have struggled with self harm, I AM PROUD OF YOU FOR PERSEVERING. And to those of you still struggling, IT GETS BETTER. I promise. We are all a product of our experiences and all the bad stuff just makes you more beautiful. -- source link
