“Sometimes the people who act like they don’t care are really the ones who care the most. They feel so much that it overwhelms them, and to keep from falling apart, they hide behind easy smiles and quick laughter, acting like nothing matters.

“But never forget that every scar is beautiful. And you should never, ever, be ashamed of them.”
