Scars.

I'm feeling bothered by my scars today. I was looking at them earlier and they just look awful. Cuts and burns and grafts and ugh. I wear short sleeves around people who aren't family and sometimes I feel OK about it, but today I just felt embarrassed. People looked. I'm used to stares because I wear short sleeves at work, but sometimes it stings more than others. There isn't really anything that can be done about the scars there all mostly flat and white. There's just... Lots of them. My whole forearms are covered with no patches of normal skin. It's horrible. I'm going to be stuck with these for the rest of my life. It feels uncomfortable and shameful.

how are you feeling now?
please dont feel shameful, its a sign you struggled through such hard times.
what enabled you to wear short sleeves to work in the first place? there must be people there who understand, as it sounds like you dont get stares all the time
