I think of my scars as a sort of badge system.

antsy says,

which is your favorite?

Believe says,

I have a childhood scar from a coffee table that I love. Strange memories of childhood. Getting It is the first time I remember being afraid of my grandmother. It was like reality set in that day. And then there is a c section scar that I have from my two pregnancies.

antsy says,

I've been going to summer camp for the past seven summers. Those summers are my most beautiful memories. Every night I would sit outside with my best friends in the entire world and talk while getting eaten alive by mosquitos. The scars remind me of those nights when I grew up. That's when I learned to be the type of person I want to be for my campers this summer. :)
