So I was shaving my legs today, and I (accidentally- don't go all nutzo on me, Rashi) sliced my ankle. I washed it off and continued shaving, but the blood kept coming. I was just sitting there, and I looked down and my foot was covered in blood.

It struck me then, how beautiful it was, the red against my white skin, and how fragile my body is. Like, just a moment of inattention, and there was blood all over the bathtub- there's a scary thought.

Jesus, I could never be a cutter.

No, I will not yell at you. I think it was clearly an accident. Just don't make a habit out of it.

Even to those of us who aren't cutters and never will/could be...

...yeah, blood can be pretty.
