Accepting your Scars

We all have scars whether physical or even mental. What has helped you accept your scars and not be ashamed of them?

oh man, this is honestly such a great question!! i think part of what makes me me is my scars; i have earned them and i have got them and they are part of me now, however ugly they are. scars are proof that i have tried and that i have done wrong, and while they may be the uglier sides of me they are part of what makes me, me; it's just that i must not let the scars define me, lest i believe that i am something much less than what i am. does that make any sense? XD

@SandyM

This is a very important, thought-provoking question! I think one way to look at scars are that they are a representation of places you've been, things you've been through. They can be viewed as a signal of growth and a reminder of the past.
