[Acrylic Paint]

The amount of time that has passed since I last cut myself. It has not been easy. I have had the urge to cut quite a few times in the past four weeks, but I have managed to fight it, which I am really proud of. Working on the blog has definitely helped me keep myself safe from cutting.
No, covering your body in paint, tippex, permanent marker (or whatever else you can find!) is not the same as sinking a razor blade through your skin, but as far as I'm concerned, being creative with my body in ways that doesn't involve any blood, trips to hospital, bandages or scars is a much better option.
