Wear your damage.


There are those who wear their damage openly,

as evidence on display of one more thing that failed to destroy them.
Those who wear their scars, inside or out, with a sense of resilient pride.
There are those who hide away their damage. Those incapable or unwilling to accept
and come to terms. Be wary of such people.

For they cannot even be honest with themselves.
