I don’t know why, my day was fairly good…. sure a few stressful things, but nothing too bad…. I still feel like I want to cry though, eventhough I spent time with my closest friend today (we wen’t for a walk and played pokemon go and what has you) which was nice…. I also went on yet another obsessively long walk after that (in the evening) and ran into one of my fathers friends, it was a bit unsettling however they seemed to just think I was going for a walk/run, they didn’t stay long…. Which was good…. I got back after dark (yet before the sign the park/parks were closed so I was probably okay) Also went to a restaurant, and had food and after our walk had some milk shakes, that drained most of the money I had left, and also spent like $10 on pokemon go (not a lot I know but still maybe shouldn’t have) so now I have like $23 left total, which I guess isn’t terrible…. I used almost an entire tank of gas this week, leaving the house and going walking everyday is going to get expensive when it comes to gas, meaning I will probably have to start eating less which sucks since I should really be starting to eat more (I did kind of go a few days without eating and very little sleep though, was the first few days on pokemon go which is normal when I start playing a game…. I will slow down eventually) I’m worried about school stuff though, I plan to start that on Monday, but will I really? It’s so easy to just keep pushing things back further and further…. I hate doing things that are productive, somehow I always feel even more worthless and useless while doing the things I’m supposed to…. Which always causes me to be over critical of any form of mistake or misstep I make, which leads to me normally quite angry at myself, eventually leading to me curled up on the floor bleeding. So I really don’t want to do these things…. even though they are things that apparently I am quite good at :/ I still don’t want to, I know I won’t do them right….
Also it’s kind of weird that here I mention pre openly that I feel worthless and useless, those are my two favourite words for describing myself, and words that I even have scared into my body from when I carved them into myself…. Worthless is still quite visible and barely covered with scars (due to where it is, I ran out of open space in my normal spot on that arm at that time so had to go along the actual side (where the bone protrudes which was hard as that bone moves when pushed against which caused the blade to slip so many times) and it runs up a decent chunk of my right arm…. not exactly the most legible writing (is that the right word for this sort of thing?) many probably wouldn’t be able to read it unless pointed out to them (somewhat because the whole word isn’t visible at some angles, and also due to the legibility) but I can still read it quite well and it’s quite clear to me, I see it everyday (as the first half of the word is on the inside of the arm, and the second half crawled onto the top of my arm (moves down (or up) my arm (like starting closer to hand and ending closer to shoulder)) It does have one rather large scar running threw it, where I kind of got annoyed and cut across it (sort of trying to cross it out, I wanted it to go away at the time) but still doesn’t make it less noticeable…. That arm also has the word “fag” carve into the bicep (which is very noticeable and legible) (short words are easier) useless is on my left arm, and put on top of it, it is covered with so many scars (most running width-wise across my arm (like from side to side, not up and down)) but I can still notice it and mostly read it, although it is much harder than it used to be…. it was actually very legible when it was fresh one of the most legible words I carved into myself…. the word “failure” was carved into the underside of the left arm (at the same time as “useless” and “worthless” were put in their spots) and that one other people could probably still read…. that one runs up my arm (or down (starting closer to shoulder and ending closer to hand)) and is underlined with a long cut that I also made at that time…. Now it is lightly covered with other scars (I don’t cut the undersides of my arm too much, only when very upset with myself…. it feels so much different, and is mostly only something I do when I want it to be that much more personal but can’t build up the courage to do something to my face) and also on that arm on the bicep I have the word “loser” cut into it which also happens to be underlined (because the word too an odd number of cuts if I remember right which may be why “failure” got underlined too…. but I don’t really want to count how many cuts it would take to make the words, it would only make me want to do it again somewhere else, you guys can do that if you please) Welp those are all the words I have carved into my arms…. really not that many only 5 well I guess my right arm also had a “loser” on the top side too (from so much longer ago, was the first word I ever carved into my skin, that was like 2 or 3 years ago now) and well I can’t even find that anymore because the top side of my right arm is quite horribly scarred, it kind of even feels leathery now, is really weird…. It’s so scared up that it actually is a different color overall then the rest of my body and actually from far away probably just looks like a really light patch of skin (with a bit of red in it) it’s really quite bad, all the scars kind of blend together there into just something awful…. welp I think this is the first time I ever shared information about carving words into myself before…. It felt kind of nice to talk about, I didn’t intend to bring this up in this post, but whatever….
I kind of actually want to be able to show my arms in public one day though, so I guess talking about my scars is a good first step, although I kind of know I will never be accepted by general society once they see the scars that cover me, they just are not okay…. Self harm is not okay and it never will be, I am not a decent thing, I don’t deserve to be treating like a living creature. But still I am getting kind of tired of having to cover all of my body every day constantly (even when home, incase my father decides to barge in at a random time) it’s uncomfortable and it gets really annoying in hot weather (which in a dessert hot weather gets really hot) I would at least like to be comfortable with my father seeing so I could at least wear a teashirt around the house (instead of a somewhat baggy long sleeve shirt that I’ve slept in for several years (ever since I started cutting myself on the arms (which was when I was like maybe 16 or so, at least when it started to the point where I had to cover them when I did it)))
Well anyway, I hope everyone is having a good day…. I am probably going to bed soon, I am tired and I actually have a busy day tomorrow, although worried about how things will go I’m guessing they will go poorly, and they most likely will go poorly…. but I kind of hope that they go well…

Hi honey. First I want to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having scars. I can understand you wanting to hide them. That is totally understandable. There are many people who won’t understand and who don’t deserve to get to know that part of you. There will be others who will be empathetic and understanding and those are the people who deserve to get to know about it. And there are people out there. If I feel that way, I am sure lots of other people do. My ex had scars on his wrist and I just loved him even more because I knew he had fought so many demons to have gone through with that, which showed how strong he is. And so are you. I’m sorry you don’t feel comfortable showing your father. I hope that can change!
It sounds like you’re kind of a perfectionist when it comes to your school work? Did I get that right? I was that way. I think I subconsciously felt like whatever I did wouldn’t be good enough so I just didn’t want to even try. I barely did any homework at school ever. How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking?
I is 22 -_-
The only way “failure” could ever be applied to you is through your society. Society is the failure since it failed you. Every single person loses at something but that doesn’t make them a loser.
Never call yourself a fag again or believe that you are one! If there is any word that describes you, it would be angel. You’re definitely not worthless or useless if everyone on SP thinks you’re adorable, Iris. In fact if it wasn’t obvious from my horrible attempts at flirting, I have a crush on you. You’re not useless! I bet you could make some great horror movies if you wanted to!
Sorry to hear you can’t feel comfortable showing your father. Hopefully you can gain the courage needed for such a huge step.
LOL I kind of gathered that much…. But I’m so very sorry about that :/
Sorry for the fact I like you or sorry for the fact it would probably never work out? It better not be the first one or else I will tickle torture you! Iris-kun, there is only one thing I can say I remotely fear and that is myself. In other words, I have no qualms about punishing you or scaring you since I can be quite sadistic.
Just for the record, I’m a guy… Although I don’t doubt Iris causes females to either want to shower him with love if young or if middle-aged to have maternal feelings.
Sorry for both…. -_-
Yeah older women tend to actually do that with me IRL, it is really uncomfortable. It probably occurs mostly because I’m pathetic and helpless.
I think all the girls have a crush on iris.. How could we not? He’s gorgeous and the fact he thinks he’s not makes him even more so!
You don’t even know what I look like…. I have acne and everything -_- (still)
I don’t know iris, but words are pretty sexy.
So you’re saying that I should speak more IRL then? O.o
No, I was referring to Zelda’s original comment about how you seem ‘gorgeous’. In which you responded with: “You don’t even know what I look like…”. I meant your words on this site. Your disposition here on SP makes you ‘gorgeous’. I meant words are often a beautiful thing and your words here alone can make you a beautiful person.

Don’t feel bad, Iris. I don’t either since the writer in me is still trying to make sense of their grammar…
