This just made me cry. I really appreciate you writing all of that :)Self Injury Awareness Day is today.
All the posts I’ve read about this day have said something along the lines of “Wear orange! Draw butterflies”
I, personally, take issue with that.
Should you wear orange and draw butterflies? Sure. Go for it.
But you know what else you should be doing today? And everyday, for that matter?
LISTENING.
Just listen! Show somebody you care. Take the time to educate yourself about self injury, and make sure the people around you know that they have support to get through it. There are so many different reasons why a person may do this, and when it comes down to it, every single person needs support. Everyone needs somebody to listen, to care, and to love them.
So don’t just wear orange. Don’t just draw butterflies.
Take a second to look around and consider that you probably - no, definitely - know somebody who is struggling with this, has struggled with this, or may struggle with it in the future. Take a second to listen, to talk to the people you love - and maybe even people you don’t love, who knows. It’s important. It’s crucial that people don’t feel alone. Let today be the first day of many where you actually give a damn about other people. I know it seems small, but it really does help people.
