Thank you 
It's strange, because... In a way my scars have come in highly useful. Being a model, photographers are on the look out for models who self harm/have self harmed in the past. Some of the work is to create dramatic images, but one of the shoots I'll be doing will be used to promote self harm/depression (etc) awareness. When the guy came to me and asked about my scars I though
'oh here we go again'
But no, it was totally different. There are some nasty people out there, like one photographer I came across who said "I can't do a shoot with you because of your scars." I was a little bit upset to say the least. It wasn't that he couldn't, it was that he didn't want to. Whether that was because of his own judgments or just because he was being an ignorant fart.
Buuuut hey ho, there are some lovely people out there who just want to help others and that's such a breath of fresh air.
