Your scars are a written record of your life's experiences.
When I was nine, I wished that I had more scars so that I'd look really badass.
On a follow-up visit after my first surgery, I told my Doctor that "This is the first scar I ever got that wasn't the result of bad judgement."
I tell people I was in a knife fight in a bar. "If you think my scar looks bad, you should see the other guy." Lol
That always gets a look of disbelief or they laugh.
