I cut myself because I hate myself. That's the short way if answering your question.
I cut myself because it feels nice, I am able to FEEL how the blade tears my skin, WATCH the blade paint nearly a hundred cuts on my arm, HEAR my mind saying nothing... Just focusing completely on the pain.
I cut myself because watching and feeling the blood run down my arm and dripping off my fingertips like a leaky tap is distracting me from EVERYTHING!
When I cut...
I don't think of anything...
Nothing at all...
Other than the blade on my skin and the pain it brings with it.
