[Dreamer And Believer]

When I started cutting I was on the swim/dive team at my school which meant always fairly exposed around other teenage girls. Since I didn't want to be caught I couldn't even cut my arms or legs so I started on my stomach, it was the next easiest to access and easiest to hide. I never understood arms anyways because it is so obvious there and that is where everyone expects it. Besides, even now that people know that I cut they can't look for new scars. With my friends who cut their arms, I always recognized the fresh scars. With me, the people who know don't say, "Ok, roll up your shirt so I can see if you've been cutting." It's overall easier--and I'll admit, I was pretty logical about it when I started because I was so terrified of being caught. In the end, though, I was found out, so maybe it didn't matter. But BTW, it's nice to know there are others who don't cut on their arms and others who don't "get" the arm thing.
