sort of like a scar but for stuff. frustrating when it happens to my beloved jeans, but there's a certain beauty therein.
I was inspired by thechildofeye's review of stains to write this. I don't think I am very opinionated on stains but they are not alike at all with scars. A rip, dent, hole, etc may be a thing's equivalent of a scar, maybe, but not a stain. Scars may seem more destructive, and they may be of physicality but a stain is far more destructive on the essence of a thing. Stitch a scar, fill a dent and mend it whole again, but you can't do that with a stain; a stained surface looks, smells and feels different no matter how topologically unchanged, olfactory death has come for it.
