I Won't Look Back

I started self harm about 13 months ago.  It  started as just a way to help me feel better, it ended up as a terrible addiction.  After a boyfriend broke up with me because he couldn't deal with it I realized I needed help.  I told my best friend, who ended up talking to her Mom about it.  This all got back to my Mom, the last thing I wanted was that.  We talked, I promised I'd stop, but I didn't.  I kept at it.

I knew other people that cut, and we decided to make a pact.  We promised each other we wouldn't cut and it's been over 2 months.  I'm not looking back, but looking forward to a life free of self harm.
