How I did it
How to learn pi to 50 digits
It took me
5 days
It made me
impressed

stop self-harming
Untitled 11 months ago

i managed to stop for nearly a week… ive been cutting my legs repeatedly (as in maybe 10-20 times a night?) most nights for about 3 weeks. before that it wasnt so frequent, just 4-5….
it seems so huge, but i managed to stop for a week because i had like, 6 days to let the scars heal so people wouldnt see them (i found out very suddenly i had to dance in a short dress without tights).
at the moment im trying to go for a month… i dontknow if ill get there, but im trying.

dye my hair
to dye or not to dye... 12 months ago

ok, so ive always had really light blonde hair. then it started getting darker and darker, and now its like halfway between brown and blonde.
