Hey, it's the author.
Also trigger warnings for mentions of self harm, thank you.
My best buddy (who I call Stinker) had just done an extraordinary thing. They handed over the pencil sharpener they cut with. They also asked me to draw all over their arms with sharpie, things like flowers, faces, lyrics, anything calming and self loving.
Why I'm telling you this is because I have various pencil sharpener parts in my backpack and I quite know what to do with them. I could just throw them out, but I feel like I need to do something more. Like dramatically chucking the parts off a bridge, you know? Something special to celebrate the parts and what they've done to my friend, the dude who's like a sibling to me.
So here's where you come in: maybe comment ideas for things I could do to dispose of the pencil sharpener parts. Creative stuff, I'm just stuck with what I could do.
I'll make another chapter later in the book telling you what I did with the parts.
Remember self harm is addictive and something that can be substituted by other, non-harmful, things. Thank you, and have a good day.
