My new blog *scars visible*

A blog about wearing short sleeves after years of cutting, and how this feels and the journey it takes me on! http://thesleevelessproject.wordpress.com

I think this is a good idea, I am glad you feel able to be yourself. I found I was okay until I relapsed even though it is on a different area of the body, I feel like no one will understand. I still cover up. I respect you very much.

Dollpart, that's beautiful. I read the whole thing and I think you're a good writer. I've never been to Hamilton; I'll have to visit someday!

One question: how would you prefer people to react to your scars? There's a woman at my work with them and so far I've just ignored them because I didn't want to cause her any shame/embarrassment. I'm not sure if there's a 'right' way to react.

Oh, I meant Hamilton the musical :) it's great!

Thanks so much for your message, I appreciate it so much.

I'm not sure. I don't mind if people ask, as long as they're tactful, as it's better than looking confused. But it's also OK if you're not comfortable asking.

I'm always looking for new blogs to follow :) Good luck with your journey and with your writing.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.
