Recently I was told that everything anyone does in this world is for selfish reasons. I hated this idea at the time and completely took it as false until one day I actually thought about it. One obvious selfish pleasure most are guilty of is drugs. Drugs are selfish in more ways than one though… you run the risk of hurting someone else. I have come to this site to read people’s stories etc. and never felt the desire to post anything on here myself. Recently I decided that deliberate self harm is the least selfish thing you can do. While there are definitely selfish motives in self injury, there are no direct risks you put on someone else. After realizing this, I decided I am proud of my scars. Instead of wrecked cars or dead children from driving drunk or on drugs, my “dealing with it” harms no one but me. Self injury is my drug. The perfect drug that saves lives.
