I’m going to wear my orange-ish pants and orange bracelet I’m making now for starters.

But I’m also going to, for once, show my scars. Not to bring attention to me or to make people feel sorry for me. But to bring awareness to the issue. When I have first told people I trust that I cut, they are shocked. Because, the “Harry Potter girl” who wears a smile daily seems like she would never do something like that.

But I want to bring awareness to how the most unexpected people do self-harm. And it needs to be brought to attention.

Also, I plan on either wearing a black t-shirt with duct tape on my shirt saying “Self-Injury Awareness Day” or wearing my 30 Seconds to Mars tee shirt since they are a big part in the reason I’m recovering.
