Changing Seasons

Although this seems like a relatively frequently discussed topic on my blog, it was a part of my life and a fairly significant part, so I feel the need to talk about it, or well, type, but let's not get technical. Today is essentially my two year milemarker of not using self injury. It's really one of the most refreshing things to think about and realize. It didn't even really hit me untill I looked at the date this evening and for some reason it seemed familiar. I haven't cut in two years. Two whole years. It's so incredible considering two years ago, I never thought I'd see this day. Not only is this an insanely amazing marker in my life, but I have officially closed every part of my old life. Yesterday was the very last day with even a hint of that Emylee. Today, I opened up the new me completely by, not drawing my own blood to cause myself pain, but by donating it to a blood bank to save someone elses life. I saved my own two years ago when I quit, now I find it appropriate to save others'. This will probably be the last time I even recognize this date, so I felt the need to say all this. My life has taken a turn from the worst to something so great. No one really reads this blog, and I'm perfectly okay with that. But to whoever does, when shit happens, it gets better. My blog is solid proof of that. In only a short period of time, someone can go from having absolutely no hope to having all the joy in the world. Have hope. Life isn't all bad, despite what you may think or feel at the moment. It only gets better.
