You may be wondering why I have deleted my addiction and some of my older art pieces. My mother found the pieces to disturbing to be put into public. I apologize for the confusion. But please don't forget. Anyone who self injures is not alone. You always find a way out. I promise you. It seems pointless at first. It seems not worth it. But once it happens everything gets better I promise. I am not saying you wont want to go back and try it. Maybe ever fall back into the darkness but just remember you can always find your way out. Also, be sure to stay strong. Friday is To Write Love On Her Arms Day. The day past and present self injurers or supporters get together and take the time to remember we are people too. We are not those "emo kids" everyone thinks we are. We actually have feelings other than depression. It is just hard to see and realize when in that state. Things seem dark at that time. I know from experience. But if you look at life as if it was not as bad. Things would look up. You just need to remember God is always by your side. Friends always have your back and family is the reason you got where you are. I know now a days the fashion of cutting has been put into the spotlight as a thing to have pity for someone or for attention. But it really isn't. People who do things for attention end up no where. Flaunting self injury or depression is why it is made fun of so often. Because people started to make it public and make it so that people can make fun of it. Please, don't do things for attention. Try not to do it at all. But at least not for the attention. It only makes things worse for yourself and those around you. Now that I have explained why the art has gone down I will now talk about something a little more on the bright side. Christmas time is coming up and new camera is coming soon! I am so excited to finally have it in my hands. A lot more art will be put up. And I am sorry I have not had ANYTHING up. My camera was not working for a while and school has kept me on my toes. It has been difficult to get anything in. But I am promising to at least submit three things by the end of this month. I hope you guys had a great halloween! And have an awesome thanksgiving <3

Stay strong and God bless.

Love,
Ashie.
