colector: RE: [JournalWriting] Not a Happy Go Lucky Post/Nora

Nora,
While I understand the function(s) cutting can serve, I strongly urge you not to start down this road. I'm seriously beginning to believe that cutting is akin to alcoholism...it'll be with me for life. The desire to cut, not the actual engaging in SI. Don't worry about your questions triggering anything. I'm one of those stubborn SoBs. I'll either cut or not cut, regards of what you say or do. *shrugs*

For now (and for a long time I hope), I choose not to cut.

Light of heart,
~*~Walks~*~

I've been tempted at times to start cutting. To me it seems it would be very meditative - that I could go somewhere else. The urge became especially strong when I first started restraining myself from binge eating. I would eat and read, read and eat, totally oblivious to my surroundings. My world and focus becomes very small and comfortable. No worries, no thoughts, no nothing. Just escape. Is that how cutting feels? I hope I didn't trigger anything.

To hear the sound of the wolf is to experience a singularly moving sensual experience of wilderness. Sound of unreachable quality, seeming weird and inhuman. But not unearthly. For it is of the essence of the creature wolf: of his spirit, his being, his truth. A transcendental song that took form uncounted millennia before time was defined. Something elemental. A living call from the past. A revelation of the very Universe.
