Today is self injury awareness day.

I'm not going to one of 'those posts'. But it's an important topic that never gets the attention that it deserves because it's seen by a large majority as something done by 'attention seekers' or people who like certain types of music or weirdos. There are lots of different forms of self injury. It's not just the 'kids on myspace' (who, apart from the fact they use myspace - it's not 2004 guys- also need love and attention) most people self injure in one way or another. Eating too much, spending money you don't have, self mutilation, alcohol, smoking, drugs, even verbally bullying yourself. It's not all extreme, but some of it is. So don't wash your hands too quickly.

There we go. Feeling more aware already? Good stuff. I'm changing the world, one life at a time, yeah?
