Realizations

ive always thought that people ignored me. and since last year, it was proved. I was having a conversation the other day with one of my friends, and i had asked him if he’d ever noticed my arms, because by now, everyone had. and he said no. I then realized that i really am more invisible than i thought and ive always worry that the wrong person will notice and get me into trouble, but anyway i dont get how no one really noticed my screwed up arms. I mean, its not like theyre fading, they are in plain sight and i dont cover them anymore because i got over being afraid and now i can tell people that it doesnt mean anything, that theyre old, my scars.  My boyfriend noticed right away, the first time i saw him in 8 years, and he got real quiet and asked me if i wouldnt do it anymore and i answered of course, i have a best friend and a boyfriend all in one, i have someone to talk to finally. I cant believe that i am finally getting out of the hole ive been in for so long.
