truth about scars

[Asylum]

scars don't define who you are....
they are just stories of the past. that show what you've been through and overcome.

Their like battle scars ... showing the way to winning the war ...

[Obscene Eyedeas]

They show you yourself what you have been through and reminds you that no matter how bad things have been you got through it and still can

[Giles]

To me (Someone who has never cut) I see them as a sign of either weakness or mental issues.

[munchausen]

They all tell little stories, I like to reflect on how I got some of the more notable ones from time to time, or to remember how I felt as I did it.
Oh and would benmullet please go die in a ditch. Now look at what you made me say

My opinion... Didn't say it was true, you don't have to share my opinion. That's just how I feel.

[Asylum]

My opinion... Didn't say it was true, you don't have to share my opinion. That's just how I feel.

I've been a cutter for 4 1/2 years.
I stopped cutting July 4th. That was my last day to ever harm myself.
In my eyes, I changed so much while I was going through depression, so I believe scars ARE who we are. They shaped me into being a stronger person. They gave me momentum in stopping, although I was addicted.
You don't have to be a cutter to have a story about yourself.
Scars are bits of yourself, a piece of emotion that you carve into yourself.
Nobody in the world has the right to judge you, or they might as well doubt themselves. I think cutting is a form of strength. Instead of crippling under the wrath of depression, you find a temporary way to get above it. Although it definitely isn't the best choice, it's all some of us have.
I still struggle with depression, every single day, but I cherish my scars.
They keep me positive.

[Asylum]

[ErykaInspire.]

Thank you. (:

[munchausen]

oh Damian your also Benmullet? its alright i understand

no, actually I was just apoloising for telling him to go die in a ditch I only have the one account.

[BeautifulDisaster]

I don't think it's weak.

Anyway.

I feel my scars do define me, and I personally cannot imagine not having them, at the same time, I want them gone...

They each do tell their story, and why/how they got there.
It shows that you were clearly going through a tough time and felt so distressed you felt you needed to do that to yourself for whatever reason.

[Asylum]

oh ok Damian. Aimee that is also a very good way of puting it

My scars remind me that there is always a way to make myself feel better if i want. I can look at them and rememebr the rush. I can look at them and it brings me back to earth. I would miss them if they went.

[Seeker94]

They are my skin, my deffense against those who try and act as if the world is perfect and it is not, it is the way I remind myself that when life gives me crap I have survived. I may have not stoped cutting but one day I wish to and come out as my scars are my battle armor to remember how bad it really was.

[1_21Guns]

To me, they are the reminder of a mistake, stories of the reason you made those mistakes and the strength it took to overcome it.

[Tacky]

The scars scare me...

[TigerLily]

Eh, mine sicken me.
They're a sign of my weakness, and how I should have done better.
Though I know I'm not a weak person, and won't let anyone judge me as such,
I'm not proud of any of it at all.
I just want them to go away.

[screamtobeheard]

My scars cause me pain and sometimes I just hate that I could do that to myself. But then I remember that they're proof that I'm alive and I can get through anything. I'm ashamed of them, but I think they're beautiful at the same time because I am alive, and I'm strong enough to keep getting through.

[Beautiful Obsession]

the scars i have dont really mean anything to me, like each tell a story, i just hate them, and want them gone, because i see them, and it encourages me to carry on, likee ohh whats another few scars..

[iceyfresh]

That's a beutiful statement and u agree there stories an memories of what you have ofcome but also are nightmares about what you have done

[Seeker94]

I love my scars they are mine and they each tell what has happened to me deppending on how many there are and how close they are togeather I can remember what they were for :/ Even my currently healing cuts will have this story and I hope for it to be my last.
