Scars tw:sh Entry posted by Verdance in Poetry May 10 148 views Share https://www.17thshard.com/blogs/entry/1600-scars/ More sharing options... Followers 2 A contemplation. Spoiler a hand, one. once trembled, once held a knife. abandon, never again, never my life. now sketching, flawed hand, perfect arm. still stretching, curved lines, scratched-in harm. Fingernails mar this drawing more than scars. Edited May 10 by Verdance 2
Usseewa Enefel Posted May 10 I'd put a CW/TW for self-harm.. it's kinda blatant imo. Nice tho. And nice drawing. 1
Verdance Full Feruchemist Posted May 10 Uh yes that is in fact a flawed but 1:1 drawing of my arm hands are haaaaaaard

PanLin Cobalt Guard Posted May 11 (edited) Thanks for sharing, this really resonated with me. tw for self-harm details in spoiler: Spoiler Almost certainly unintentional, but the 'fingernails' part got to me too. I stopped cutting years ago, but moved onto substance abuse and suuuuuper destructive fingernail biting instead for a while. Anyway, I hope you're doing ok! I see my own scars as a permanent reminder of how far I've come since making them; I hope you can get to a similar point. I know people throw this sort of invite around willy-nilly, but my DMs are open if you (or anyone else reading this) ever do need to vent/chat with a friendly ear who might understand some of what you're going through Edited May 11 by PanLin 1

I love it when people find their own interpretations of art that mean more to them than the original. It’s very inspiring that I can try and express something small for myself and someone else can find something incredibly profound in a detail that’s not that important to me. Really cool.
