how about living with those scars, that are almost exact as mine, only, I have about 40 slashes on me with suture marks...I used to be beautiful...now...I am marked for life. no car accident can be as precise. no excuses can deliver understanding, no one, not even myself can understand this slashing thing... Why???!!!

Your body is still beautiful and what's more, it's yours. The "slashing thing" is about making it yours, taking it back from everybody else's standards, everybody else's desires. Your body is even more beautiful now because it is different, it is branded with love and hate. People can pay money to get the perfect body but it takes someone strong and different and creative to paint and scar a body.

Just wanted to comment on your pic there. And the title - interesting... and true. Permanence the point, but it's the transience and lack of anything permanent that may lead to this? Your scar is beautiful, never worry about it. If that is you, you're beautiful too. I hope you're ok and thanks for posting that. Hamish
