Fashionably Late. {Pierce The Veil}

Important Author's Note!

I just wanted to clear some things up with all of my lovely readers, I know I write a lot about people with depression and I add a lot of self-harm parts throughout my books but I do not, at all, enjoy writing about cutting or anything like that. It's hard for me to even write or think about self-harm because I'm trying to recover from it myself. I write about stuff like this because it's reality and it's what I understand a lot about, sure it is a touchy subject but it's all from personal experience. I do not encourage any of you to harm yourself and I really don't want you to think that being depressed is the way you're always going to live. I'm telling you right now, all of you, to put away that razor, get rid of it now and don't look back. Don't let that razor be your life, do not let it win. As for depression, kick its ass, don't let it bring you down. Push past that darkness and just keep telling yourself that you will get by, you will be happy! I promise you that things will get better, maybe not now or maybe not in a week but it will eventually. It takes time, just like it takes time for a cut to heal, except there shouldn't be a cut, there shouldn't be a razor in your hand because its really not worth it.

If you think that this is all bullshit because "I don't understand" then you're sadly mistaken. I have been through it all. I've had a self-harm problem for six years and I'm starting to realize that it was never worth it. All those times I had to wear long sleeves in the summer, all those times I had to explain my scars. It was a mistake, but I learned and I'm trying to get better. It's not easy, I know, but try and keep fighting. Don't give up, not yet, not ever. I love all of you guys and I'm here for all of you if you ever need to talk, just please promise, whoever self-harms, that you won't hurt yourself anymore.
