It’s been almost 10 years. I’ve given up on the hope of them being less jarring to look at so covering is the only thing I can do…

    I have a similar mindset with mine. I’m covered in scars from performing (as well as accidents and SH) and always seem to be healing from something.

    To me, scars are a symbol of our body’s resilience. I try not to let them have power over me by instead viewing them as a symbol of healing. A scar reflects something that our body went through and healed from, and is a symbol of how far we’ve come since.

      For real. The human body’s ability to repair itself and adapt is astounding and scars represent how immense injury can become distant with time. they also accentuate curves quite well :>
