Hurt.
I went to my therapy session today and I talked to my therapist about people who intentionally hurt themselves physically and the motivations behind it. It was really interesting and we shared some deep insights. I don’t think it’s necessarily “wrong” for people to inflict pain on themselves, because sometimes, that’s all you have. It can be a distraction, or a healing. I’ve always been intrigued by scars. Tarin wrote a sestina once about scars and memories, it’s one of the most amazing things I have ever read in my whole life. It was about how the scars on his flesh were like a map of memories, and he compared it to the scars in the sky. Very beautiful imagery. |
