Chris Clarke writes about scars. It’s a good read.
I think that to most people, scars bring pain to mind. They make me think of recovering from pain.
Oddly, I suppose, I only think about pain (or recovery) when I think of the scars I got from illness–most of mine are from injury, and I don’t really think about the pain from that. They’re more like souvenirs; here’s the tacky paperweight from that awful trip to Miama, this is a nice throw rug I picked up when I hiked across Yosemite.

Perhaps you gained your scars more gracefully than I did mine…. Most of my scars say to me, “I can’t believe I did something that careless.” ;)
Better careless than stupid.
