-So that I'm not "the cutter" at school.
-So that when I swim in the ocean my arms don't burn.
-So that I can say "I'm better"
-So that I can feel happy about my wrists, not jealous about others.
-So that when people say something about suicide I don't feel that it's directed towards me.
And I like the restoring the cats reputation one. I've actually said "My cat's evil, I don't get why she does that!", and then my friend meets my cuddly cat and is like wtf?
I agree with everything you said.
-So for once in my life, I can say "I'm ok" and really mean it.
-So I don't have to live with the guilt and shame anymore.
