Sometimes, people who are
involved in body modification are accused of self-mutilation.
Sometimes these people are
becoming modified in order to mutilate themselves.
Sometimes these people are
willing to endure discomfort for the final results.
I wish that depression (vague
wording for it all) didn't have such bad connotations. I talk about
my treatments so that maybe other people won't be so scared to talk about
themselves. Then I get flamed, and my friends have to go back in
time :(
