lately i’ve been scratching my skin off on my forearm because it makes really satisfying scabs after the fact i know it’s bad i know i know

anyway my roommate said to me tonight “if it’s okay to ask, what happened to your arm?”

it. it just kinda pulled the rug out from under me because 1. someone noticed and 2. i didn’t know how to reply i just kind of stared for a second and then said “i got scratched” and it was so unconvincing i’m like. certain he knows what’s up. or is at least wondering i guess
