I'm gonna do it...
 
I'm going to wear short sleeves tomorrow. I'm feeling brave NOW but we'll see what happens at 6:30 when I get ready to leave. Last time, I changed right before I left because I chickened out. I have to be prepared for comments and questions. I'm going to just go with "it's a long story." And when someone says "don't tell me you cut yourself," I'm going to play stupid and be like "what the hell?" We'll see. This may be a one day thing. haha. Wish me luck, I'm scared!

Best of luck to you! Screw other people and their preconceived opinions. Be brave, at the end of the day its no one elses business. xx

Mouse81 04-02-2008 01:40 AM

I agree. I just have to prepare myself for questions...

People are so into themselves. It is quite likely they won't ask questions.

How did it go? I think that's really brave of you if you went through with it. And of course it's understandable if you didn't.

How was it?

did you do it.? and you get any questions? xx

Did you do it?
To be honest I would have freaked out :(

Mouse81 06-02-2008 01:53 AM

Yeah, I did it. No one really said anything. I crossed my arms A LOT though. Even when I was talking to my director who knows. It was weird but I have to get used to it. I'm trying really hard not to anymore so maybe my scars will fade. Mostly they are flat, red ones but I have a few white raised ones but those could easily be blamed on a barbed wire fence. I have a horse. We'll see...

Well Done

I find most people dont actually say anything to your face about it.

crazykat 07-02-2008 12:37 AM

Well done, that was brave of you

Mouse81 07-02-2008 02:01 AM

I didn't think anyone really would but a few months back I had 3/4 sleeves on and I was making a copy at the copy machine and this lady was like "you have a boo boo." (it was a scar that could have been anything) Then was like "are you cutting yourself?" half joking half serious. I just ignored her and left. I was pissed though.

Im so glad that you found the courage within. Good for you that you were brave enough to be true to yourself.

I am very proud. Well done
