Well sometimes they dictate that you are going to a doctor of some sort so that certain scars can be fixed.
I am glad that you stopped though, and congratulations.
I feel like saying "scars show where we have been" implies that there was a good reason for doing what they did (ie, they've been through some shit), which I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that's not always the case.
Hey Matthewg! OP here. Reading it again after your comment, I can see what you're saying, reading "where we have been" as referring to whatever driving factor there was for cutting, but I originally read "where we have been" as referring more to the mindset of cutting in itself. Like scars remind us that we got to a place in our lives where we felt like we needed to cut, but they don't consign us to being in that place forever.
I'm just an old cynic, and have given up on giving people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this sort of thing, but I'm aware I could just as easily be wrong as right.
I am glad that you stopped though, and congratulations.
This is a good fight
And you won
*smooches* to you
