Why do I love my scars so much?

When I was younger, I used to self-harm - the scars that are left over have since become very faint, and if you didn't know where to look for them (like I do), you wouldn't know they were there. Yet, I could still point out every single one, and probably tell you when it happened and what triggered it. It's not that I'm proud of having MADE the scars - no. I recognize that what I did was dangerous, and I would never allow myself to self-harm again. On the other hand, the scars represent a dark period in my life - and they mark, for me, a physical representation of a dark time that I successfully survived. I don't love the circumstances that made my scars, and I don't love that I did it to myself, but I do love that I have been able to stop, and that those scars will always remind me that things have been worse than they are now, and I still survived.

I love my scars. Scars represent I survived, I am alive, I'm okay now and when I look down on them, I remember how I got through some hard situations. I'm on my way to healing. My scars proved that I'm though, I did it. Scars represent lessons that I learned in my life, I am human. Scars tell stories of hope: I managed through hard times and I was proud of me discovering it's still hope. Our scars make us unique. Scars are beautiful because they tell us stories of bravery.

Perhaps looking at your scars reminds you of the tough times that you've been through and help you to feel proud that you have beat your demons and become the person you are today. They are your war wounds.

My scars make me remember what I was, what I thought about myself and against what I fought. I am not ashamed but not proud either of my scars, it is a part of me, of my past.

I love my scars as well. But I love them because they remind me of how strong I have become over the years of torment. These scars show my pain through battle and war. They are my battle scars. I take pride in them and take pride in being able to say that I overcame the struggles. Maybe this is true for you as well. I wish you the best. Have a blessed day!

Some people find them aesthetically pretty. Others look at them and feel that their scars have made them who they are, in a way. While it's great to be unashamed of your scars and let them show, they should never be glorified or thought of as definitive of who you are.

You love them because they are the one thing you have control over, i do advise that you do seek medical attention.

My scars are a reflection of growth and maturity. I love my scars and embrace them because they show the person I am today.

Scars can be a reminder of how you battled through pain. You know why your scars exsist, they tell your story and that might be why you love them so much.

Scars are a reminder/symbol of the struggles you've gone through and how far you've come. They signify what you've dealt with and survived.
