Wow!
Showing scars;
What a concept.
They’re not as pretty as
tattoos
or airbrushed versions of
perfection.
But truthfully,
I really don’t know anyone
who doesn’t have a scar
or 10- maybe more.
The question becomes,
are we going to allow
the scars to define us,
who we are now,
our very being?
Or are we going to
allow them to heal,
learn the lessons,
embrace them,
tell their stories,
and ignore the
narratives they
try to place
in our psyches?
Scars are signs of
healing, overcoming,
past mistakes, past trauma,
having a past.
Read that again and
notice the positive:
Healing, overcoming,
past, past, and past.
Nowhere did I
mention:
defining, pain,
present, or future.
S C A R S
are thicker than skin
and make us strong.
Fighting to overcome
makes us Warriors!
Don’t focus on the scars.
Focus on the lessons,
the future,
telling your stories to hopefully
give hope to others.
Be a W A R R I O R
and embrace your scars,
your life, your future!
Just be real!
