Heal. No one ever really heals. Wounds heal, but they always leave behind scars. Soon the pain dwindles, but the reminder never goes away; the scars always stay. They fade and with a little medical cream they sometimes all but disappear, but they are always there. The thing about scars is that they come with baggage. They come attached to memories. Sometimes you can lock them up, store them away and forget all about them for a time. Scars are weaker then regular skin. One wrong move or one wrong bump can split the wound wide open again.
Once there is a scar there is no escaping. Ever. You carry that constant reminder around with you for the rest of your life. But scars are not signs of weakness. No. Scars are our victories, our triumphs and the ability to overcome the things that hurt us. Scars are the lessons learned that you keep with you. Scars...well, scars are beautiful. And I think that people heal, but they let the scar stay because without those scars you can't see where you have come from or have an idea of where you are going.
My scars are a struggle, a constant reminder, a journey and lessons learned. My scars are beautiful.
and I am not ashamed of them
