[Scarred Souls 3.50] • Scarred Arms

Love makes us strong

I might not do well all the time, I might have times when I wish for death, but I don’t actually want to die. I’ve got so many people to live for, and that’s why I fight to live every single day.

Now it turns out it’s not just me who’s struggling. I knew Matt struggled, obviously, but I hadn’t realised it was this bad. I never imagined Matt was more like me than anyone realised. Guilt and shame overtake my emotionally unstable mind, and once again I resort to old means to try and dull the pain.

But I’m strong. That’s what everyone tells me. I’ve survived everything thrown my way so far. I’ll get through this too.

This book contains flashbacks to abuse, depictions of self-harm and suicide attempts.
