Well, you could always get them surgically removed but yeah, they kinda are a part of you.

I am very proud of my scars. Why? Because I look down at them and see success, not failure. You see each scar represents something that was terribly upsetting for me. Instead of caving and just ending it, I succeeded and overcame it.

I guess it's all in the mindset that you have about your scars. You can either choose to be proud of them or choose to be ashamed of them.
