a week ago i turned 26. two days ago i hurt myself again for the first time in four years. this time i didn't use the little blades from my razor. this time i got more personal. used my own fingernails to dig deep for the life i'm scared to live beneath this skin. then i took some deep breaths in & restarted the journey again.
