Reflecting on my life so far
I’ve done a lot of dumb things I am not proud of.... but it has taught me to be a better person
    Even
            If
    It
          Left
Scars...

     Burning
                                     Cutting
              Bruising

Creating self harm to my body
Made me feel good, but not proud...

Scars remind us of times of doubt
Helps us cope with those times that were
                          ROUGH....

We all go through fazes
Either good or bad
I’m not proud of what I did
But I am sure am glad

That I’m past that hardship of my life
The end result is I’m left with scars
But I have won that
                              FIGHT....
Years ago I used to self harm myself because I thought I was “in love” with my boyfriend. He treated me horribly but I thought he loved me. He cheated on me with my best friend at the time so I started cutting, burning or whatever else I could to make myself feel good
I am not proud but relflecting back on it, it made me a strong person. Y’all can get through whatever it is your dealing with, I won my fight you can win yours too... #staystrong #fight
