When I look at my scars, they make me sad for the person who felt so rotten she was compelled to make them -- but I too see them as badges of survival, of a war won. If people are brazen enough to ask, I say they're battle scars, because they are. They're the result of a battle with myself, the way I used to be. I've come a long way.

It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.
