Here is the thing—I know I'm not supposed to cut, but I can't come up with a reason why. In all the reason not to cut most of them talk about not wanting scars, which is something I don’t understand at all. I like my scars.
When someone has a physical injury everyone can clearly see that they were hurt, but when the trauma is emotional there isn’t anything visible to let the world know you were hurt (or are hurting.) That’s why I like my scars, they are something I can point to and say, “I hurt; and this is how much.”
I called a friend and he said he didn’t want me cutting anymore, but for the life of me I can’t come up with a reason to stop. I’m first aid certified so there is no worry of infection because I sterilize my blades.
If you can come up with a convincing argument not to, I’d like to hear it.
