Today I went to a church with my friend Jake visiting from Maine because he’s very religious and was feeling a little down. He wanted to go there to confess something he felt guilty for, and asked me to come for support. When we got there, there was a blonde girl about my age with her older brother whom Jake is friends with. We were all talking after Jake was done doing what he went there for, except for the blonde girl. She looked really uncomfortable and kept whispering to her brother. We were about to leave when I heard the blonde girl say to her brother “See! I told you!”, then I turned around and asked them “Is there something wrong?” and the blonde girl’s brother was trying to pull her when she walked up to me and said, “Yes. There are cuts on your wrist. Those aren’t allowed in my church. God does not appreciate you for doing that. Disgusting.” Then she went rambling on about how it was a sign of evil or Satan or something stupid that I was too pissed off to listen to (obviously she knew nothing about religion). In the middle of her yelling at me about the Bible, I told her, “Shut up.” She gave me a shocked look, and I went up to her, shoved my wrist in her face so she could CLEARLY see my scars, stuck my tongue out (like in the picture), and left.
