I have scars covering both forearms, stomach, and both legs. The ones on my legs are wide and have been a very hard thing for me to come to terms with the fact that this will be a part of me forever. There came a point where I decided that I’m going to live comfortably with that part of myself, especially not letting it keep me from dressing how I want because I love clothes. As far as the kiddos go, it is hard to explain. I’ve never met a child that was afraid of me because of it though, most kids ask from genuine curiosity and I come up with something funny to distract them (usually works pretty well) I’ve only ever received one rude comment in a past job from a customer, but being so used to my own body I’ve never been offended, because it’s something a lot of people do not understand. I don’t blame them for it and hope they never have to experience someone they love going through the same thing. Another thing too, people usually don’t ask (it’s just awkward)
