HUGE, HUGE TRIGGER WARNING This is an important piece that I am very proud of and consider significant in more than one way. I personally have never self-harmed, but I have known far too many people that have/do. I believe mental illness, self-harm and suicide are incredibly important topics that need to be taken far more seriously and considered in detail. This is a reflection of that. A short story I wrote for an in-school creative writing competition. I got 1st place! I'm glad that I'm finally able to share this with you all.
