Quote - "I need to keep the scars to prove there was a time when I loved something more than life." (excerpt from the song "Don't Say A Word" by Sonata Arctica)

Some people wear their scars for different reasons. Like badges of honour, or as a symbol of survival. Scars can be physical and scars can be emotional. Me… me, I need to keep the scars to prove there was a time when I loved something more than life.
