scars

Scars. What is a scar? Well according to the dictionary a scar is: a mark left (usually on the skin) by the healing of injured tissue.

Nice definition makes sense and totally tells you what a scar is, but for me, that’s not the true meaning of a scar. For me a scar on your body means you have lived. That scar is proof that at one point in your life you were alive, you felt pain, and you went through something, some experience that will be a story for a long time or something that will make you chuckle, or just make you think. Think on what gave it to you or how you got it.

Think about it, a scar to me is a sign that a person has lived. Yes some scars are hard to look at based on where there at or how big they are, but when that individual got that scar, for that moment they were truly alive, they were feeling the pain of life, knowing that the pain they feel means there alive.

Look at tattoos for a second, these are nothing but colorful scars and think about it, people that get them love to feel the pain associated with it. Why you ask? Because at the moment, the tattoo is being put on they are alive feeling the burning stinging sensation that comes along with it. Think about this theory of mine.

Scars are a way to show that you have truly experienced life, it’s a sign that you are alive and this scar shows that you went through an ordeal of some sort in life. Your body has the mark to prove it.

Here is my scar.


Till next time
