Let's just spark a conversation about something important, and let's just listen to one another.
I've had close friends and co-workers who had visible marks along their arms and the first time I learned about it, it hurt.
I also believe that not all marks are visible, and that many practice self-violence in ways that cannot be easily pinpointed.
Self-violence sounds harsh, perhaps self-hurt or self-guilt leading to the expression of pain may also be more appropriate, to me. Why do I feel this way?
I think compassion is really important.
I is so easy for me to have compassion for others yet be so hard on myself when things do not go as planned. Sometimes I'm hard on myself and I can blame someone for my hurt and at other times I feel like I am the only one who could possibly be responsible.
Pain hurts.
Sometimes it is easy to pretend that pain does not phase us. What should we do?
