Pain comes in several ways, there are physical, mental and emotional.
In physical pain, you can have scars to keep you reminded of what you went through. It shows everyone how strong you are, how much you can take.
In mental pain, there's no scar, there is just the trauma and the after effects of the incidents, no one knows how deep the damage is.
In emotional pain, it numbs you, it stops you from feeling anything anymore, no love, no hate, nothing. Just numbness.
That's what I love about myself, that my scars are deep, never visible. I welcome the numbness that they caused me. It makes me feel immune to all the pain in the world.
That makes me feel stronger. Being Cold is better than being Broken.
