In a way I'm a bit concerned at what I would have done if SI-ing wasn't an option ya know? If it was important enough at the time to make it necessary, it was pretty serious for me.

Also, call me naive or lucky, the scars (not even just from SI) on my body are a record of what I've done. Whether it's the birthmarks I was born with, the scars from bad accidents, the stretch marks from puberty, the acne scars that I've picked at, the cut marks on my arms and legs, they all hold huge significance for me.

I'm "lucky" (more like careful) to hide my scars in places that are harder to see and if I ever show them to anyone and they're disgusted, I doubt I would want them in my life anyways. I'm not proud of them. But they are a part of me and my history. Sure I wish I had fabulous skin mark-free but I wouldn't be me without it.
