The Butterfly Project

This is a project very close to my heart. The idea is that you draw a butterfly on your wrist or arm and name it. If you don't cut you "set it free". But if you do cut it's no big deal, draw another one and try again. The object of this is to spread the word that self harm is not for attention, and is a serious issue. The goal is to discourage yourself from cutting. Even though I do no cut I still wear a butterfly to spread the word and the message. At one point I was going through a bout of depression and thought about killing myself. I made it through it and now wear a butterfly to show my support. If you support the cause you can wear a butterfly too!
