The Issue. :O

Maybe you've heard of this. Maybe you haven't. But I believe everyone needs to be informed of something that is becoming even more common. My best friend used to struggle with it and another friend of mine is still and so did I, but only for a little while. It's calle cutting. Cutting is taking a sharp object like a knife, razor, broken glass etc and cutting yourself until you bleed on your wrist, stomach, legs...places easily hidden. It's most common on the wrist though.

A lot of people will ask why someone would want to hurt themselves on purpose. Well there are a few reasons. For some if you are in so much emotional pain, then the physical pain takes away the emotional pain momentarily. Like a quick fix. Others do it because they may be totally depressed and basically feel dead inside and it's like the physical pain reminds them they're still here. It may be hard to understand but life is confusing.

But cutting can be addictive. Like drugs or alcohol. Anyway, this is really scary to think about how I would hurt myself on purpose. It's confusing now but it seemed perfectly normal when I did it. If you know someone who does it, then please let them know you care about them. It does make a difference.

Anyway, have you ever heard of cutting? Or do you know someone who did it? Or maybe you've done it yourself? I'm not sure. I just thought everyone should be aware.

Happy New Year! :3

It's 2010. Can you believe it? Time sure passes by really fast, doesn't it? I know it has been several months since I've blogged, and I don't have an excuse. But I've missed blogging. And I have a place for it in my life. :) It's confusing...but sometimes life just seems like it's full and like I don't feel the need to add something to it. Like a blog. I don't know if anyone else feels that way or not. Maybe not. Maybe I'm just kind of weird :D

Well I really want to get into blogging again. And become friends with a lot of yew again. :D I have a good feeling about 2010. I hope its going to be a great year for all of us.

I have an topic that most people really don't touch on because either they don't understand or simply don't want to. But unfortunately it is very common. I'm going to make several posts about it starting in a few days. I really hope it informs some people about this topic. You may be wondering what it is. But you'll have to wait to find out. :)
