Who Is

“I’m no tattoo artist, but I do have a knife.
And I’ll cut to the chase and say I use it every night. The first letter of your name
Starts with an “L”
So I keep drawing them lowercase
All over my shell.
People ask why I cut myself,
I say, “I’m just writing.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“I see-sawed between feeling like a ten-year-old, unloved and abandoned, and a bone-tired person of a hundred.”
― Faith Scott, I Won't Forgive What You Did: A little girl's suffering. A mother who let it happen

“No matter what kind of childhood we’ve had, nobody escapes trauma while growing up.”
― Kenny Weiss, Your Journey To Success: How to Accept the Answers You Discover Along the Way

“Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally.”
