Written on an Airbed

This sentence is in Spanish when you aren't looking.

Go ahead. Prove me wrong.

I don't understand people who cut themselves. It seems like such a stupid way to deal with your problems. I can understand suicide, because that is effective - once you succeed, you don't have to worry about things anymore. Becuase you're dead.

With cutting, though, there's no solution. Instead you're just left with the same problems you had to start with, plus a bunch of scars on your arm/leg/whatever. Some of which never fade and cause people to judge you for the rest of your life because of something you did when you were young. Or you could just wear long-sleeved tops forever.

This probably sounds, at least to some extent, like I'm recommending suicide over self-harm. I'm totally not, unless you are the idiot drives by my house every night playing loud R'n'B and honking your horn. In which case I will gladly pay cash money to watch you hang yourself.

I would obviously recommend neither self-harm or suicide, but rather therapy. For some reason though, people in this country seem to view it as a bad thing. In America everyone and his uncle has a shrink, maybe two, but over here seeking help for any mental health issues is seen as a bad thing.

And that's just crazy.
