ScarsAreHistories

Scars are narratives. They tell us about our own failures, clumsiness, medical pasts, broken hearts, existential crises, and so forth. No matter how much you change, how far you run, how many people you forget, or how many people forget you, your scars remain unchanged; a permanent life history. They are pale reminders of emotions and personalities past.
I want to know yours.

Whether you're a recovering self-injurer, a tattoo addict, a survivor of dangerous surgery, a child-hood adrenaline addict, or a bad knife juggler, I urge you to show your scars and tell your stories.

And remember, scars are histories, not active stories. Please, no open wounds.

my mind runs, i can never catch it.: i love scars. →

i’m so weird. but i think they add character to you. i’m not joking when i say all this. they remind you of certain times and people. mine do at least. and anyone without scars..well they’re that much closer to perfection, but who wants that? i get excited with new scars. and its a new story. even if its as stupid as burning myself with pizza cheese, or that guy you used to hangout with who almost hit you with a bike. i don’t know. they’re all different and interesting. i love scars. this was totally unnecessary.

Preach it, sister.
