I'm torn between admiration for people like Singersmith and Wendy and utter horror that anyone's life could be so miserable that thrutching up granite offwidths could seem a better alternative than say, chewing your arm off. On balance I'm coming down on the side of admiration, but it's a fine line you're treading here people. What you call a 'striking line', others might see as 'recurrent and persistent efforts at self harm'. |
