lately i have been intrigued by the idea of scars, specifically being scarred by love. we toss the phrase around a lot, and its really interesting to me.

i have to ask what is really being scarred? where are these scars?

scars are generally a physical thing you can see and touch and know that you are healed. is that why love scars and emotional scars take so long to heal? we do not get the mental advantage of seeing the physical repair, of touching the scar and knowing its healed.

some people never seem to recover from their emotional scars and they end up living as a shadow of who they really are because they are afraid they are not recovered.

how can we get ourselves to recover and know that we are healed?

how can we see our scars and know we are restored, we are ok and we can live again?
