Description Hi!
So this time I've doodled something more serious (or atleast tried to)

The Butterfly Project, (see below link) ; So It's basically about recovery from cutting; I know this sounds kind of out of the blue, but it's a real and serious issue. I might not cut, but I can empathise. I mean, I know there are some times when life really is going horrible, and you want to nothing but scream and cry.


So!I found the Butterfly Project on a post someone made from Tumblr (figures!), and it basically goes like this:



Draw butterflies on your wrist to support.
Lead cutters to a life of true joy.

The Rules are:
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants… you to get better.
3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you dont cut, it lives.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.

its moody, a little depressing, but the bright butterfly gives it hope

... are you cutting? o_o dont do that child, it doesnt help, if anything it gets blood everywhere, think of it this way: do you really want blood leaking all over your tablet, paper, and pencils? would make things worse right? i know thats an unserious way to look at it but think about really how much it would affect the things you love to do

Oh rochelle; You're so wonderful. I don't know how to say it, but just having someone care, and worry really makes me feel happpy. You would really do that for me?

I feel loved.

You're a really great friend. ;__; I wish I could help you with anything, too; so don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you.

Even if I can't help, I'll still try to help by listening and trying to understand. (And I know maybe that's still not very helpful, but atleast you'll have a listening ear and an open heart.)

I don't know how else to say it, because the above doesn't really convey what I completely want to say, but just remember that; I care, very deeply. <3

I know a few people that cut themselves, and I now how frustrating it can seem and hard to understand why they do so. However, it is the most rewarding friendship to have, you truly feel like you've accomplished something when you pulled them out of the hole of razorblades and blood.

I imagine it would be, wouldn't it? I know a few people who cut too, and it seems like no matter what I can't really completely help them.
