Love your blog! Curious to see the documentary. To share a little about my scars, I went through a windshield head first from the back seat of a car when I was 14. After 175 stitches on my face, you could imagine what that can do to the self esteem of a teenage girl. I saw the movie mask while I was recuperating (remember Cher?) and was so moved by the main character. I remember thinking that people had been staring at him his entire life like he was a monster. I got just a glimpse of what it must have felt like to be him when people would gasp when they saw my stitches and cuts.

I see my scars everyday when I look in the mirror, but most people never see them. Every now and again a small child will put their finger on my forehead and ask what happened. I smile and tell them to always were their seat-belt.

See you Sat,
