“Scar tissue has no character. It's not like skin. It doesn't show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It's like a slip cover. It shields and disguises what's beneath. That's why we grow it; we have something to hide.”

Cinfhen The moment I saw the words “Scar Tissue” I went RHCP 🌶🖤🎶 and I thought about the song & book

Scar Tissue

LiterRohde @Cinfhen Excellent song (& group). Haven‘t read the book. I just immediately thought of the pain behind most addiction, whether physical or mental. Then I thought about the scars left by both the pain and the addiction, also both physical (track marks, blade cuts...) and mental (relationships, loneliness, shame...). (edited) 6y

allureofbeauty When I read this when I was a teenager I quoted this bit too. 6y

The Blue Tattoo: The Life of Olive Oatman | Margot Mifflin

#theneedleandthedamagedone #timbittunes

Olive Oatman was a child when her family was massacred by Native Americans and she was taken into their tribe. Fully assimilated and seemingly happy, she was ransomed back to the US almost a decade later. Olive went on to marry a banker but she became an instant celebrity and found it difficult to come back to the world she‘d once known.

No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever | Aviva Yael, P. M. Chen

#theneedleandthedamagedone #timbittunes

I'm sure some people will regret their tattoos!

@Cinfhen @TheKidUpstairs

(Sorry about the scary book cover)!

squirrelbrain Very clever! 👍🤣 6y

IndyHannaJones I love my tattoo and would like several more, but as I train in Taekwondo and they are very expensive I'm not sure when I'll be able to get more! 6y

tournevis The number of people I have seem or met that have "kanji" tattoo, with "signs" that mean nothing or jibberrish, or worse not at all what they think it means is astounding. Ariana Grande most recently, but there's this guy I met who thought he had courage in Chinese and it was ground meat in Mandarin. Yeah. I have chocolate in Mandarin on my ankle, but in case, it's intentional. 6y

jenniferw88 Good one! 6y

Cathythoughts Great choice ... on my kindle waiting... 6y

TrishB Great pick 👍🏻 @Cathythoughts same! 6y

JennyM @Cathythoughts @TrishB it‘s a very good story, but the author writes screenplays usually, and this felt very much like that. I felt quite detached. 6y

JennyM @jenniferw88 😘 6y

TrishB Screen shot 👍🏻 I have one potential but this gives me a few others. Not one I‘m looking forward to. 6y

Suet624 I like Bill Clegg‘s other books. 6y

Cinfhen I‘m also thinking of reading this book @TrishB because I own it

Cinfhen I‘ve only read fiction by Bill Clegg @Suet624 and I found his writing very good. I‘m shocked he was a junkie!!!! (edited) 6y

TrishB Thanks 👍🏻 will make my mind up eventually! 6y

Suet624 I know. From his usage, I‘m surprised he came out on the other side. 6y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen wow, he was a junkie? I didn‘t know @Suet624 6y

Suet624 Yes, the book in this photo is an astonishing description of his life during his drug habit. @barbaraBB (edited) 6y

Cinfhen I‘m really interested in reading it @BarbaraBB @Suet624 amazing that he made it through 6y

I Dreamt...: A Book about Hope | Gabriela Olmos, Elisa Amado

pick

#TimbitTunes Day 23: Because of #TheNeedleAndTheDamageDone this book was created whereby as the Intro says: “a young child dreams of a world without violence. Violence, guns, crime, bullying and war affect the daily lives of children all over the world. This book was created in Mexico, where the war against drugs has brought tragedy, fear and insecurity into the lives of many young children.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7pB
