I grew up with a Mum who was Straight Edge before there was a claiming. So I grew up with a strong woman who taught me to stand my ground, be present, and to never let anyone dictate how to live my life. I was 21 when I made the vow, it has been almost 17 years. I enjoy being my true self every day and not being clouded with substances, every decision I make is made through a clear lens. I was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in 2018 and have survived through massive mitigating measures. I house a syndrome that helps my body produce cancer rapidly. Being on a constant form of chemo, it is dire that I leverage my body and brain to their full potential. A straight edge lifestyle has allowed me to do that.
Straight edge is a vow, one you make to yourself. You can be sober and not straight edge. The more firm side of me states you aren’t born straight edge, it is something you agree with, take a vow on, and nurture. I will not break my vow. I am not early in my life choice so commitment isn’t something I think about anymore. This is my life and because of it I can be the best version of myself every day.

First I engrave and cut the design out on the laser. Then I weed away the protective paper- I wash them (lasers are stinky) - up next assembly- in a day or two these will be available in our ETSY shop. #xsisterhoodx #straightedge #straightedgegirl #laserengraving #weeding #acrylic #makersgonnamake #diy #hardcorepunk
New Article on xsisterhoodx.com- To many in our community, Medicinal Cannabis and medication, in general, is somewhat controversial. Before that let’s talk about gatekeeping first. If you have been living under a fuckin’ rock and don’t know what it means, here it is. “When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity,” this is from the almighty Urbandictionary.com. We all know plenty of people who have done this shit, either in the hardcore circles or the fuckin “edge” community. I sadly did that shit when I was younger, mostly because I was a kid and didn’t understand that we need to be more inclusive. This wonderful community needs positivity and to learn from the past. That being said, we all understand the lyrics from Ian MacKaye. Although we have different interpretations of what it is. Honestly, it’s okay too as this shit improves your life. But that doesn’t mean we let it affect our health. - read the rest of the article on www.xsisterhoodx.com - and let us know what you think! #xsisterhoodx #straightedge
