Show me
Can we make it okay by society to wear scar revealing clothing. I was at the dress shop and the lady looked at me and said,” You might want to wear a long sleeve to prom.” I asked her why and she replied,” Those ugly scars are all over your arm.” I felt so beautiful in the dress I picked out, I felt happy, I felt like the princess I thought I could never be. I picked out a different dress and this time it showed more on my skin. The lady continued to say,” Are you sure? It can be seen as ugly.” I looked at her and said that each of these was a moment of survival to me. Looking at each of them reminded me I made it through another day. Don’t tell me it’s ugly or a cry for attention, when really it is my trophy for choosing my own life.
