I'm so sorry for not responding sooner - I wish you all the best on your ventures and all the strength in the world for those scars that leave no physical marker. If you need anything, let me know <3Lelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475327642519383754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930006019236973212.post-15142186368202967862011-09-29T22:59:21.306-07:002011-09-29T22:59:21.306-07:00Thank you so much for Sharing.

It's ironic that in so many ways I have log wanted a scar to prove where I had been, the pain and conflict etched undeniably- certain and able to be proven to those who never justified or believed. But of course it is your discussion of the deeper scars that rings so true.<br /> How dare we be strong if we are cracked? How dare we be weak if we are "perfect"?<br /> Funny that now that I face my first real skin-level scar, potentially life saving as it is, I feel my most vulnerable and unfixable in years. Much like you I fear the inability to hide it (especially as it will be across my throat) but also the frailty and story that hiding it creates. I hope to find such sharing moments, freeing in both their profound emotional difficulty yet public, commonplace nature.<br /><br />I miss those happenstance sharings and human connections- treasure them and do please follow that shaking voice and surprisingly raised hand. You never know when your story helps free another's uncertainties.Bethyflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113890733865719427noreply@blogger.com
