Your Scars Are Beautiful!

“Often times, the world both directly and indirectly

Tells us that we shouldn’t be happy with ourselves

If we don’t fit certain beauty standards.

“Scars to your beautiful” is a reminder that beauty isn’t only

One look, shape, size, or colour. It isn’t even always tangible.

It comes in an endless amount of forms

And we need to recognize that.” Alessia Cara
