I was lying in bed tonight and happened to look at my old wrist/arm scars which to me stand out so obviously against my tanned skin. I thought about why no one ever noticed my cuts growing up, or if they did and didn't say anything. 

I started cutting when I was in 6th grade. So until graduation I went through 2 schools, 2 guidance counselors, and countless teachers. Some days I would wear long sleeves, sometimes bracelets, then once the cuts scabbed I would just leave them be. It just occurred to me that no one either ever noticed, or just didn't say anything. I never cut for attention, so back then it never bothered me that no one noticed. But now looking back, why didn't they notice, especially since they were so obvious when I didn't cover them up once scabbed/heal? 

I guess I'm just curious if anyone else experienced this. One of my many random thoughts tonight as I'm trying (failing) to fall asleep.
