I draw as well matter of fact I drew today. We are all artists in our own ways. But we should do art with a marker on our skin. So that the scaring wont destroy us within.
haha I can’t actually draw for shit, but I’m great friends with “drawing.” trying to quit but tonight it’s all I want to do.
I wish poetry and stuff wouldn’t romanticize it so much, though. it shouldn’t be something to be ashamed of but I wish it wasn’t made to look so pretty.
I was going threw some old doodles book and i seen i drew something with the red ink from drawing. It freak me out so i threw it out it was way to nostalgic.
It’s heartbreaking, but beautiful.
I think it’s important to note that self-harm doesn’t always involve cutting. I love drawing (with a pencil on paper) and it’s a great stress reliever for me to prevent self-harm. Those destructive things I used to do to myself involved picking at my skin and lips until I bled, I would dig my nails into my hands until I had scars and scabs in my palms, and at times, for some reason beyond my own understanding, I would hit myself. That one I never really got why I did that, it was purely impulse in the moment, I suppose. But, it’s common for most people to brush of self-harm if it’s not, well, in this sense, “drawing.”
I’m happy to see that I can openly talk about it and know that I don’t ever have to worry about those here ever not understanding this concept.
