soilmate: My mom always asks me to wear long pants in the summer around my family or when we go somewhere together, because she is embarrassed of my scars. This summer will not be like that. I will no longer apologize to or hide from others for something in my past, something I cannot change in the here and now, something that has helped shape me into the woman I am today, something I have overcome, or something that makes me human. Judgement comes from a place of fear. If you’re going to love me, that means accepting me - all of me. -- source link
