Scars-
(I intended to write a thought essay on it, but apparently, well , words fail me today. I shall edit this post when, well, uh. I shall edit this post soon, I guess)
But lets just say, physical scars (and sometimes emotional scars) can be pretty unplesant to the eye. But beneath each one (fourty), there's always a story to tell. Scars mark a period of time in our lives, they last a really long time or sometimes even an eternity.
Memories are quintessential to the person we are today. Which would be why people enjoy keeping objects which remind them of something, somewhere or someone. Shoeboxes of photographs, diaries, charms or even a sock we'd keep as a physical reminder. Would be the reason why most people get tattooes. A prettier (notallthetime, sadly) man-made scar. That's most of the time at least, which leaves the on-impulse, i'm-still-young-and-stupid tattoes you regret 1-10 years later for another time.
Memories are a powerful tool that can conjure up different emotions. Emotion itself is powerful to the point where life and well-being depend on it.
However, it is true that memories not only consist of pink ponies and flying unicorns which bring you candy but also evil witches with intentions to cook you and feed you to their minionions (minions).
Though some memories we want not but to leave to burn in the furnace, it's really up to us to use 'em wisely. It'd make one or break one.
Scars I have, not one, but many. But to each one, there's a story.
What's important is that I've stood up and said I've made it.
You should too, cause what you've been through can make you a better person.
I'm a year smarter, wiser from last year. I'm glad I waited.
All thanks to You, for I was young(er) and stupid(er), and if it wasn't for You I'd be burning in the depths of hell.
Right now, I wouldn't have wished for things to be any different.
Cause scars I have, not one, but many. But like I said, to each one a story.
This is when the blessings come. I see an avalanche.
XXOO.
