Dear Journal

My struggle.

So, this book was a bit of a downer I guess.

And because it's over I wanted to tell you guys about my own problems with self harm, and just hating myself.

So, I'm a fairly happy person, but that's just on the outside. I honestly hate a lot of things about myself.

This hate for myself, has caused me to cut, and attempt starving myself.

I still struggle a little with self harm. I get these tough periods where it's hard to stop. But I get through it.

My life isn't exactly hard, or depressing. It's just me. I don't like myself. Whether it be the way I look or the way I act. I don't like it and that causes me to feel this way.

But that's all stoping right now.

I'm telling you guys this because today is the day I take my final stand, and I tell myself no.

I will no longer say I need to lose weight.

I will no longer ridicule my laugh.

I will no longer judge the way I act.

I will no longer harm myself in anyway.

Today, March 22 2015 is the day that all this ends.

Thank you for reading my book, and reading through this pointless speech.

Thank you to everyone :)
