Scars

Folder: 
2016

Just want you to be honest, scars or not... but I mean, who doesn't have scars by the time they hit 25, if not sooner?


Scars can make us relatable, scars can earn trust... but to communicate on that level to anybody not named Mom or Dad can really mess with your psyche, or leave you with a vulnerability you've never experienced before - and that's unnerving.  Takes a certain level of courage to take that leap and for that, you gain my respect and loyalty.


This quote's about more than scars, it's about trust, and honor, and sacrifice to earn love if it's available in somebody else's (possibly fearful) eyes

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is actually a Facebook comment I made regarding a quote from Stephanie Bennett-Henry - it goes..

 

'Introduce yourself to me

with your wounds.

That's right.

I want your scars,

your unhealed bruises

and every sharp piece

of heartbreak you have.

That's how I want to know you,

from the inside out'

Some Scars

No one sees. Interesting way to understand a person. ~S~

This was so necessary!

As a new member of the adult world (25), also finding myself a newly single slightly abandoned person, this is something new. I want to know the deep hurt someone's had in life and share mine as well. Maybe it will keep them from hurting me, or being hurt that they just don't know how to express outside of pain. Either way at 3:23am I needed this! Thank you!

Thank *you*   I'm glad this

Thank *you*

 

I'm glad this resonated well for you, that's my favorite element of putting these together..the hope that others can relate and find meaning :)

 

wish you well, keep writing and take care

Whenever I get down about my own personal bullshit I remind myself that there are people in this world going through a lot more than I will ever go through.

Yup. That's how I wanna know people too. Deepest depths of the soul. (Though I'm a bit closed myself these days as my ink resists the flow)

i don't truly 'know' very many people these days either..maybe a handful, and I've been single for around 6 years now (some of which is my doing, some isn't, but so be it) - either way, be it a new friend or something more, I just want people to come correct and mean it.

Relatability In Friends

and new acquaintanced. I'm pretty guarded and scars are for hiding. Especially emotional scars. If I wrote them down (anger excepted) that is all I'd write. Besides, most of my friends are dead, dying, or are insane.
