Love Yourself For Art 2010

Mon Feb 1, 2010, 9:09 PM
Wow... that came up fast.
It's pretty much the same as last time, as that seemed to work out pretty well.



A contest for those who self injure and those who have a history of self injury.

WHO:

*anyone who self injures or has ever self injured. Even if you don't currently self injure, you are still welcome to participate.

*if you participated last time you are more than welcome to sign up again.

HOW TO PLAY:

*pledge to me that you will refrain from any form of self injury for an entire month, starting March 1st, 2010. (self injury can really only be definied by you.)

*this is not an art contest. there are no submissions.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

*send me a note saying you would like to participate before March 1st.

*at the end of March I will note everyone seeing how you did, and collecting addresses. (to snail mail the prizes.)

PRIZE:

*via snail mail you will recieve one 6cm X 9cm piece of art. (if you're not comfortable sharing your home address, you are still more than welcome to participate  - I just won't be able to send you a prize.)

DONATIONS:

*note me saying that you are interested in donating prizes and I will send you back more information.

*you are more than welcome to both participate as well as donate.

Thank you in advance to all who participate and/or donate prizes.

If you have any questions... or I missed anything, feel free to ask!

Of course!

I want you to try EVERYTIME!
<3

This isn't really about making it... it's about trying to and wanting to.

I wish I was more of a therapist or something where I felt more comfortable actually TRYING to help people.

But the only think I really have to offer is my own experiences. And I think people differ so much that there will be little from that.

The only real thing I can offer is... someone who honestly cares. And I do.

(Plus! Still owe you yours from last time. I think I'm just going to mail it out. You maybe recieving it randomly at some point... heh.)
