Little boy: Are you an angel?
Me:What?
Little boy: My mom told me that those who have marked wrists are angels.
Me: I'm not an angel.
Little boy: Of course you are. Mom said that only angels harm themselves because they don't like life on earth. This world is destroying them so they try to return to heaven again. They are too sensitive to the pain of others and their own.
Me: You know, your mom is very wise.
Little boy: Thank you, she's also an angel but she has already returned home.

Anyone else's positive opinion of yoould simply add to your pre-existing lief system. When you rely on others to see your worth, y ove them the power to remove it. Your worth is not contingent upon people's ability to see it.

Your weight, your scars, and your past do not define you. I cannot emphasize enough how if you hold on and push through the tough times - be it an eating disorder, self-harm, depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts - it will get better.
