It's a reminder of what you've been through, and how you've come out stronger on the other side.

Afraid to let anyone in, scared that if I do, I’ll just end up broken again.” Ryan’s hand moved slowly, deliberately, until his fingers brushed a loose strand of hair from my face, tucking it gently behind my ear.

Scars are just something that stay with you forever. I do know that sometimes the ones that have silver in them will open up if I take a hit too hard, like they are fresh. I never understood that, they are a year old now, they shouldn’t still open up, but maybe that’s the silver, maybe I am too weak to heal from them properly. They are a reminder of one of the worst situations of my life, but at the same time, I am still here with them so they also show that I survived. I don’t know if I want them to go away, but

He looked away after saying that. “What do you mean?” I asked, moving closer towards him. He summoned his courage and looked up at me, “It’s because I do not deserve you. You do not deserve a man like me, a man with scars.” “It’s okay to have scars,” I replied with conviction. “In fact, I love men with scars. People that have been hurt are better lovers.

“Maybe it’s that they’ve forgotten how to.” She straightened her books on the desk, slowly turning her face to me as I sat next to her. “Then maybe they should open their eyes and see that the person they need to trust is right in front of them. Maybe they should open up and share so they don’t have to bear the burden alone.” “Not everything is made to be shared. Not every scar is on the body. Some scars are on the mind. Some scars can’t be seen. They’re inside, burned in so deeply that they’ll never be healed.”

“Broken? Izabelleh… the people who hurt us, the sacrifices we make… that doesn’t define us. You’re human. You’re real. And that’s why I care.” She looked at him, really looked, and he felt the weight of years of secrets and fear shift in her gaze. “There was a time,” she admitted, “when I thought I had no choice but to give up something important… something I wanted, for the sake of others. And… and it left a scar I wasn’t ready to show anyone.” “Scars aren’t always bad,” he said softly. “They’re proof that we’ve survived, that we’ve tried.

I asked, genuinely confused. A flicker passed through his eyes, something raw, vulnerable, before he reached up and traced his finger down the scar on his face. The gesture was almost intimate, as if he was reminding himself of the pain, of the battle he’d survived. "Just because you have a scar doesn’t mean you disgust me," I found myself saying before I could stop myself. "Each scar tells a story. Each scar means you survived an ordeal.
