“The beauty is not in the scars themselves, or the disease. The fragility of our mortality and cruelty with which our lives becomes dictated by a diagnosis is not something to be glamourised. What is borne as a result of those scars is what is gold and to be shared as rays of hope and strength to others. It is the fierce determination to embrace life to its fullest: finding a deeper and profound joy in the dawn of another day itself. It is this which makes scars of gold".”
