Open your eyes. Your tears cut a trail. Your scars build a ladder that takes you to a place that you could not have gotten to any other way. Take a look around, remember every second, every breath, every choked scream. Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength. Move on.

a scar is stronger than skin.

Because a scar means you survived. It means you’re tough and hard to kill. It means you lived. A scar is something to admire.

Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger then whatever tried to hurt you.

We all bear scars,... Mine just happen to be more visible than most.

I have felt the muscle pull away from the bone. For a time I was mislead into thinking that I avenge these acts of harm against me. I realized that by living and growing stronger on a diet of scar tissue, I had something better than revenge. I have the best of your bad situation. I am like the roach, the rock, the mountain. I will not die. I will not break. I will not move. Face it. You’ll go to your grave knowing you never had what it took to stop me.

Scars exist to show that I existed. I myself don’t have any scars, but every single one of my friends has a healed up knife wound deep in their back.

Never be ashamed of a scar. In the end, scars tell the story of our lives, everything that hurt us, and everything that healed us.

Because we embrace our scars more than our healing. [...] We can recall the exact day we got hurt, but who remembers the day the wound was gone?

Our scars are the brightest Parts of us.

Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them.

To be alive at all is to have scars.

Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.
