When I was 7, I bit my arm. When I was 11, I pulled my hair and punched myself in the head. When I was 13, I choked myself and dug my nails into my arms and legs. When I was 15, I cut myself. When I was 16, I burnt myself with a cigarette. When I was 18, I destroyed myself with drugs. Now I'm 21 trying so **** hard to love myself. To leave behind the self destructive past. To let go of all the regret and self loathing. Its been getting easier, too. Please don't give up.
