To Fellow Scar Crossed Lovers-
I am Nickel, and I have been struggling with self-injury for seven years. The intention of this blog is for people to find beauty in their struggles with self harm. Scars are beautiful, you are beautiful.
Love it to Death-
Nickel.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
-Leonard Cohen
My scars are an everyday reminder of intense and unbearable emotion. Of loneliness. Of fear. Its an ongoing battle, sometimes I’m mad at myself for letting it get so bad and I feel so ashamed. But sometimes I sit there and trace over there glossy surface and see their beauty… I’m scared still scared of what other people will think, even when I try not to.. This summer will be harder than ever to hide it.
I love your blog.
You are beautiful, doll. Don’t ever think otherwise. Your scars have helped make you into who you are today. They’re not flaws; they’re beauty marks.
Take care. <3
Scars can make you beautiful.
Sometimes I think my scars are beautiful. They are a part of who I am. They show my story, my struggle, an ongoing battle with myself. But when other notice them and start to treat me differently I don’t feel so beautiful anymore. Just because I have scars doesn’t mean you need to treat me like I’m going to off myself at any given moment. Being overly nice to me just because you have accidentally seen my wrist doesn’t make me feel any better, it won’t cure me, it won’t help. Do not ask me what is wrong.. Because you don’t really care, you are just curious. I liked it better when you treated me like I didn’t exist, at least that was real.
