Scars of the Past

It has been sometime since I have written on this blog, a lot has changed in the year or so since I have been away, I no longer harm, I have not harmed in nearly a year and a half now and I am the better for it. I still bear the scars of my years of harming but now they serve as a reminder of a tough time in my life, I am not embarrassed by them and I do not hide them anymore, they are a part of me and as much as I would like them gone it is unlikely that they ever will. I have made peace with the past, took it out of its box, dealt with it and put it away for good, sometime I still hear the lid tapping and the little monsters try to get out but I am stronger then they are and I don't let them win. Life is a battle, every aspect and it is up to the individual to decide who they want to be the survivor or the victim.
