BUTTERFLY
PROJECT
for my beloved
self-harmers.
1. when you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or
sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or
hand.
2. name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really
wants you to get better.
3.
you must let the butterfly fade naturally. no scrubbing it
off.
4.
if you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it.
if you don't cut, it lives.
5. if you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of
them.
6.
another person may draw them on you. these butterflies are extra
special. take good care of them.
7.
even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly
anyway, to show your support. if you do this,
name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right
now, and tell them. it could help.
This really didn't need to be pretty....
