it's been 10 years for me since a sudden and violent rage left me with a few noticeable scars that have been held tight and secret from nearly everyone and i'm beginning to feel the only way to be free from them is to begin admitting them.

who of us, who has kept the origin of their scars a close secret, has confided in others of the nature of their scars or the reason that they happened? what type of responses have you received?
