today, i made a commitment to myself. i realized how deep my wounds went and how many were/are self-inflicted, so: i’m putting down my knife. i’m putting neosporin and a bandage on my scars and not picking the scabs. i’m throwing my weapons in the river, and i will meet myself halfway, to reconcile, heal, and make peace. today is the beginning of a long and beautiful era in which i ACTUALLY prioritize myself. my two souls will meet halfway and become one, and i won’t hurt myself anymore.
