"the dark place doesnt ask me to be anything
or do anything
it doest ask me to smile
or be happy
or find bright sides
it expects nothing of me and laughs at others expectations for me
so... it's safe. in that way."

And that is how this all started, for me anyways. My name is Daphne. About four months ago I cut for the very first time. Something I never thought I was capable of doing. I was lucky enough to barely dodge the addiction that it would cause, however, the depression I would not. Through that experience and close relationships with several cutters I grew a strong compassion for anyone who has to go through that.
So here I am to spread a message to every self harmer across the world, be it cutting or burning, because of depression or any other reason:
We are more than the pain we feel.

The thing we post on here do not belong to us unless you see our tumblr url specifically on the picture. This is merely a collection of inspirational pictures.

Yeah you. 

The follower that occasionally stops by. The follower that’s having a really shitty day. The follower that’s having their first good day in a long time. The follower that’s ready to die. The follower that finally realizes dying isn’t the answer. The follower that’s thinking about self harm. The follower that’s trying so hard not to think about anything. The follower that can’t smile. The follower that smiles because they have to. The follower terrified of whatever comes next. The followers ready and prepared for anything life has to throw.

I cannot stress to you enough, that in this moment, that you are not even aware of a complete stranger loves you more than you could ever know. I don’t know what is happening in all of your lives. I don’t know if you’re in pain, or if you’re coming out of a painful situation. But I do know that you are fucking amazing. And I promise you that every single individual person that reads this post has something to offer the world that no one else ever will. You are not useless. You are not worthless. You are not pathetic. You are hurt. You are torn down. You are scared. But you are always beautiful. You are always stronger than you think. And it’s okay to fall apart. It’s okay to stand up. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay. And I am not judging you. How could I judge someone I love so much?

So take a second, take a breath, take a break. Take whatever you need, and remind yourself that it’s okay. Even when everything is a mess. It’s okay. Not because it’s easy. Not because it’s gonna solve itself. But because you are still you. You are still something that no one else can ever be. And absolutely no one can take that away from you but yourself.
