That's my brand new punching bag. That bag is dedicated to two months without self harm and a hopeful future of never doing that again. Sure, I'll be using it, but it's also a symbol, a way of saying "I'm retiring the old punching bag (myself), and getting a new one (a proper punching bag)." A way of saying "I deserve better than using myself as a punching bag." A way of saying "Things gets better." And a tombstone for the old me. Here's to growth, both past and future, y'all.
