Silver Lining

Finding the good within the bad ....

Self Harm is something i've grown up with, in one form or another. Part of the problem is the shame and guilt that surrounds it. My scars are a permanent reminder. I'm trying to view them more positively - that they show that I've survived some very rough times.

I think that 'silver lining' represents my journey into finding beauty within myself (scars and all). I'm not there yet - but I don't want to hide anymore.
