46::52 Fridays :: Love on my arm

Vaguely I heard about this site http://www.twloha.com/index.php last year. I skimmed through it and then ignored it. I came across a link again today and thought this is what I would do for my Friday photo. If you can see in my photo there are some scars under the heart. Those were self inflicted years ago. I've self injured since I was a young child. My worst years were my teenage years and in my mid-teens I battled depression and 2 suicide attempts. Today my mental health is much better and I've discovered other outlets for depression and negative thoughts that lead to self-injurious behaviour. One of those outlets you can see in the background which I proudly Hello Kitty-ified yesterday!

Your quilts, Laura, just get better and better! I'm so glad you finally learned that things will get better, I was very moved by your story today.
