I think that's what tattoos are. They are a reminder of where you were in your life when you got them. Just like a scar.

That doesn't mean they are always negative. Some are beautiful works of art that can remind a person of a wonderful time in their life when they got them.

Mine happens to be a reminder of the toughest time in my life. Multiple types of a seizures multiple times a week. A constant feeling of pain, fear, and the desire for an end. 

 Wow. Are they less frequent for you now? 

 Much less. I still have a grand mal every few months or so, but I haven't had any myoclonic seizures in quite a long time. Those used to be far more frequent than any other type. I remained conscious during those and they are both terrifying and extremely painful.

I do my best to have a healthy diet (most of the time 😜) and my relationship with God has grown leading me to live a more peaceful life.  

 I think you should get yourself one “positive” scar to remind of your strength and perseverance 

 Never! 😂 

 Then scratch it on a table somewhere 😂
