“Not all scars are visible. Regardless, they are usually painful when you first get them. But with time they might fade or they can remain and become a beautiful reminder... that you survived.”
“A SCAR SHOULDN’T REMIND YOU OF HOW YOU GOT HURT AND THE PAIN THAT CAME WITH IT…A SCAR SHOULD SIMPLY REMIND YOU THAT YOU SURVIVED”
“The damage was permanent; there would always be scars. But even the angriest scars faded over time until it was difficult to see them written on the skin at all, and the only thing that remained was the memory of how painful it had been.”
“...pain reaches a certain point and does not get worse but remains in all its intensity and you can survive it.”
“Sometimes it's the scars that remind you that you survived. Sometimes the scars tell you that you have healed.”
“scar tissue is what remains when the wound heals. they never tell you that. reminders, they are. those sons of bitches.”
