tw: s*lf h*rm, sc*rs, romanticizing, general tw
I have stretch marks on my thighs. I also have self harm scars on my thighs. And last night I was thinking about how I view my stretch marks as being uglier than my scars... that's messed up. And what's even more messed up is that a lot of people would agree that the stretch marks are uglier.
Self harm scars are so romanticized. I've seen several books where the boy kissed the girl's self harm scars and told her that they're beautiful. I've seen none where he kissed her stretch marks and told her they're beautiful.
Now that I've thought about it, I've realized that stretch marks really are beautiful in a way. Mine kinda look like birds taking flight if you look at them from the right angle. If I could draw I'd draw a picture of it against a sunset, but I can't draw. Writing is my thing, not drawing.
But just... yeah. It's just something I noticed and I thought y'all might understand what I mean and appreciate it.
