Floreta,

What a lovely and moving post.

Thank you for both your directness and vulnerability.

And the photo is beautiful: your poise conveys a sense of the confidence you’ve achieved on your way to self-acceptance.

There’s a kind of quiet pride in both the photo and the tone of your post.

Wings or stones? You’ve taken wings that might have seemed to be made of stone and learned to fly anyway. Well done.

Take care in India,

Matt

You are beautiful. You’re scars are beautiful. The “flaw” on your otherwise perfect skin makes you even more beautiful. I’ve always believed that scars are a tribute to all we go through in life in an effort to get where we are now. I’ve seen some “ghastly” scars on abuse survivors, most were self inflicted while trying to cope with horrendous memories. I’ve worked hard as a psych nurse working with these abuse survivors to let them know, and all other people know, that scars aren’t shameful. They are badges of honor, living proof that their soul, and yours, have survived. Even though yours were caused by chicken pox, they are still your badges of honor. They’ve been there throughout your life and in an odd way they’ve guided you into making better choices. The scars are a sign of your acceptance of who you are and who you strive to become.

I have scar too. I knock both of my tooth the cute rabbit tooth when I was 16. I was riding my bicycle on my way back home from work at around 9pm. The silly dogs chase me and I gave my bicycle more power and i turn my head back to see if i have lost the dog…

Yes was happy…. and I turn my head back on and BAM!!!!! my bicycle come to a complete stop and i knock my face right on the back door of a Pajero truck!

Today one of the tooth left a visible dark color. I suppose the tooth is dead.

I am ashamed of myself and I distant myself from people… that was many years ago but life have got to go on…

I am grateful that I face the world with my ugly tooth.

Your story is something I really can relate. My girlfriend isn’t prefect too… her neck was injured when she was born and it is not straight.

I truly believe everything happen for a reason…

Great post and you are sexy!

Sometimes I hate that the saying “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger” is such a cliche… because I think sometimes it just rings so true. I couldn’t help but think of that when you wrote about seeing them as a test.
And that photo is just beautiful.

It is great that you’ve accepted the scars as part of yourself and now have a photo on the internet showing it off Well written post Florera! We all have scars just some more noticeable than others. Plus, who wants to go to their grave with a beautiful body? What does that say about their life?

i have over 10 scars on my body, from various surgeries. i usually try and cover them up, but i’ve slowly come to learn that they don’t bother me as much as they used to – that i’m still beautiful, even though my body is very scarred.

i’m proud of myself, i’m proud of my body. including all the stretchmarks i acquired while pregnant. confidence, i’ve learned, is waaay sexier than just having the right look – if that makes sense….

i’m happy to have found someone who loves my scars, who thinks they’re interesting, and who tells me not to cover up so much. someone who thinks i make a fuss over covering them up, for nothing.
