In terms of addiction 4 months is a helluva long time. I mean, I went 4 months without touching that knife. But when you really think about it 4 months is only a second compared to life.
I hurt myself last night. I didn't want to, but deep down I think I did. Why would I do it if I didn't get some sort of- Some sort of what? That's just it. I don't know what I get out of it besides pain and shame.
The cuts aren't all that deep. They'll be gone in a day or two, probably won't even scar. But the scar isn't important because I know they were there and I'll always know. I remember every single place a knife ever touched my skin. I'll always remember because hurting yourself isn't something you tend to forget. See, it's an addiction and just like any addiction you remember.
