whether or not you have to have a paid account to do so.
Or if you just run it through your journal and write up a "news" page on it.
But I want to do this.
Several of you may know... or may have guessed from looking through my gallery or my favorites, but I suffer from self-injury. I say it like that, not because I have wounds on my body or anything current, but because I feel like it's something you fight. Something that doesn't ever really leave you completely.
I've talked to a few people who's quit smoking after years of doing it. They all say the same thing - if they smell it or really really think about it, they still crave it. And I think the same goes for people who have self injured. If you're having a hard time and those situations that brought about self injury in the first place return. The cravings come with them.
So I'd like to a contest.
A contest for people who currently SI.
It would go on the honor system. In trade for some time of not SI, I'll do a ATC. One to keep with you. In your pocket, or maybe where you keep your blades, or whatever it is you use. Something that will remind you you're not alone. That you're loved. And that you have other options.
I have no idea how long this should go. It's been a good while since I really stopped, so I can't recall just how hard the struggle is in the beginning. Is a month without it a good amount of time? Then I can make the cards during that month. And who ever goes a month gets one. It won't be a contest of who can go the longest, more of a contest with yourself.
Of course, to receive your "prize" you'd have to be comfortable with giving me your address so that I could send it. But I swear all addresses will be burned after the mailing.
Also- if your uncomfortable with others knowing you SI, you can note me to join.
But I want to know everyone that's "doing it" from the beginning of the month.
Then - I can run it again, maybe with a month in between.
If anyone would like to donate their time to help me make "inspirational" ATCs. I'd more than welcome the help. (I have no idea how big this may or may not get, but I'd be super sad if I couldn't meet the demands.)
It's really time for my art to start doing something.
Um...
I think that's it. Just ideas for right now. Thoughts?
Completely inspired by
's ATCs and also by this... [link] A collage made by a girl to remind herself...
Hope you're all doing well.
Thank you for putting up with my crazy uploads.
I had an entire weekend dedicated to making art, and it was lovely.
Love Dazed 
You're more than welcome to enter.
But you don't submit any art.
This contest is more for helping people who wish to stop SI to stop. If you "pledge" to stop self injuring for the entire month of August, and you're able to keep that pledge, then I send you a little piece of art.
Let me know if you're still interested.
I have one finished one [link] that I'd be willing to donate.
Thank you so much for the support.
Do you think a month is too long?
But yeah, if you want to include my card as a prize or whatnot just let me know.
I'm planning on running this contest over and over. (Depending on participation, of course. If no one want to partake, then it's kind of a dead end.)
So... maybe a next time...
<3
Thank you so much for the support and the offer of the card. It's completely stunning. I actually feel guilty taking it from you.
I'm going to wait until August 1st after I figure out how many people will be participating. Then I'll let you know. I'm only going to ask for it if there are so many people my mind will explode.
But thank you. And your name will definitely be joining the list of the helpful. <3
And naw it's no problem, I've been looking for someone to give it away to. It's too small to give away to one of those charity-auction events and it's too small to give away to friends really, and I rarely sell my art, so it works out.
Note me in August then and tell me how things are working out.
I may have to join this <3
