Even where love has run thin
the child's soul musters strength...
--the rush of purpose to make a life
worth living past abandonment
building the layers up again
over the torn hole.
My name is Gabrielle and I am twenty-eight years old. I began to self-injure at age fifteen -- so nearly thirteen years -- minus a two year period. This website was made to let self-injurers know that they are not alone and to help their friends and family learn more about self-injury and how it affects their loved one.
