Telling Our Own Stories
I am still trying to decide if identity is a solid, sure thing or if it changes. Do we become different versions of ourselves over time, or does time give us the wisdom to accept who we were all along? Are the new versions simply deeper levels of self acceptance?

Understanding Cutting
My daughter cut herself for the first time when she was 12 years old. Today, 11 years later, she is still struggling to overcome this problem.
