Okay, a few words before we begin.

While I was writing this, I let some people that I care about read it -
one of them related to how I felt and asked me if I thought they should
cut themselves.

Absolutely not.

I remember being told via E-mail by a long-time self cutter that I
should stop because it was very harmful - feeling patronised, I told
her that I had been doing it since I was fourteen - I had been doing it
for nine years. She had been doing it since she was sixteen. I found
out she was forty-two.

If you do cut yourself, then you'll possibly relate to some stuff in
here. I've read some material with the warning it may be "triggering",
but it didn't trigger anything in me, but the next guy? Who knows? I'd
advise care reading this if you think you could be affected, but I
never related to an awful lot of people who cut.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: if you don't already cut, then DON'T
DO IT, you would know by now if it was for you. What's wrong with you?
Go buy some Batman graphic novels, don't waste your time here - it's
filled with bad advice and bitterness. Batman? now he can teach you
something. Oft regarded as a superhero, but he's just some nut with a
personality disorder, and no superpowers (I still maintain that he
could beat Spiderman, though.).

I decided to write this whatever you want to call it mainly to purge a
lot of things from my life and my mind. Sadly, most of it is true, but
I have suitably fictionalised and where appropriate sanitised many of
the events. What is real, however, is me. It isn't a character. When I
say me, I mean me, and even in fictional circumstances, that is
probably how I'd react. Also, what I do to myself is real, and that
warning above was real.

Any of my friends or family - I don't know what you think, so what's in
here is how I think you think. If anybody out there feels I have
misunderstood, misrepresented or in any way defamed them in here - fuck
you.

Go write your own book.
