You know...at one point I would've made a post like this anonymously. Not because I'm ashamed or anything, exactly, but because sometimes you just want to talk about things without your name attached, you know? So that it's not really about you, just about the advice you're looking for. Or because you don't want people to look at you differently after they hear about it.
I guess it's because it's been so hot lately that it got me thinking about it. And also because of Cordis, a little. Sometimes I get wings for Cordis, and then all of a sudden my wardrobe gets pretty limited when it comes to...that. But anyway.
Really what I wanted to ask is —
For people who have scars, how do you think about them? Like are they a part of your identity now, or do they still bother you? Do they feel wrong when you look at them? And — if you are okay with them, did you do something to make yourself more okay with them? Or are you just kind of...never going to be okay with them, no matter what?
I have some. I think they're ugly, and hard to look at, and I try to keep them covered up so that they won't bother people who might see them. I guess really what I'm wondering is whether that's a feeling that's ever likely to change.
It's just something that's been on my mind more and more lately, is all.

though you could be sure that if i ever found out who made you learn that lesson i would kick their ass so fast
but i get you, some scars are physical and some people can just feel when they see you and that shit isn't easy to shake off
it sucks, because you're more than that but all they want to do is focus on the bad shit or whatever when all you want to do is move on and live life

Where are your scars at, can I ask? It's okay if you don't want to tell me.

most of them aren't physical, i feel like the doctors here were really trying to spare me after my last trip home
although i do have one left over on my left side, it's a reminder of the existence of terrible people but also love
