"you will get sick again because sick is what you know" -- Marya Hornbacher
Not quite there yet, but I'm sliding. I was cleaning at work today and dropped a glass paperweight and it broke, and I'm ashamed to admit that my first instinct was to grab a particularly sharp looking piece and pocket it. I'm even more ashamed to admit I did so.
I threw it out a few hours later. That counts for something, right?
"I know that a life is possible where every sharp object you pass does not whisper seductively to you, where you want to get out of bed in the morning, where you can stop wearing long sleeves all summer and lying to people you love." -- Iris, a recovering self-injurer, as qtd. in A Bright Red Scream
