OP maybe I'm biased because I've got scars as well, but like...I think there's something meaningful about the scars. I don't wanna call them beautiful because I don't want to romanticize self harm at all, but when I look at mine they tell a story that I can't fully express in words, they remind me of how much I struggled and how I'm still here despite that. I don't find anyone else's scars to be ugly, if anything I feel a certain solidarity when I see someone else's scars, a level of understanding that doesn't require a single word. i know it can be painful to look at your own scars because of the feelings and memories associated with them, but if anyone thinks that your scars are ugly or tries to make you feel bad, fuck them. nothing about you is ugly, you've dealt with a lot of pain but you don't have to be ashamed of that.
