Old Habits Die Hard

I can't imagine how hard it is, especially trying to deal or sort with your own thoughts that may be thinking something different than the "I'm fine" you tell people....

don't ever think you're silly for starting it, it's serious and I never want you to feel worthless because you did it. I pray it will end and know you are still loved, even with the scars, the past, thoughts of continuing it.... because Tara said it perfectly with the "we are stronger than the blade". It may take time, but don't put yourself down. I can't imagine, I'm sure the habit would be extremely hard to break and take self-discipline and self-love, which will all build up.... and I'm also sure it's tougher than people think it is. But know because of the scars you are stronger, not weaker. Because you're still here, writing your thoughts out, speaking about them, not trying to hide.

You are loved no matter what. No one should have to go through this pain or the struggle of whether to do it or not. Such an emotional write that struck a lot of sadness in me but was such a raw poem.

Always thinking of you! <3

You DO NOT deserve pain of any kind especially not from your own hand, girl...it's not silly either because I still think about it every day and I trace the scars too but we are warriors, fighters and survivors and we are stronger than the blade...believe it for its true

This poem is deep, powerful, and I wish I could get on a train right now and come see you, hug you and tell you how beautiful and amazing you are and make you believe it.

You're worth so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Love and hugs always xxx
