Have you ever had surgery and the incision left a scar? Or had a blemish after an injury? Ditto. Recently I got acne for the first time in my life. As a full grown adult that takes care of my skin I was extremely frustrated. I am still unsure of why it arrived. I think it had something to do with the random spell of pneumonia I caught to add insult to injury, lol. Well it is finally resolving but the bumps were on my face for weeks and scars have developed.

Funny thing is I don’t care about the scars at all. I can no longer feel the pain that was once there. The damage is done. It is now history. I gained knowledge. Moving forward I know how to handle it if it happens again. I can even try to prevent it. And that’s the thing, all of our scars will continue to fade if we treat them with care. Depending on their depth with the proper treatment they may even disappear.  Leaving no trace except experience. The ones that stay remind us that we overcame something. More to our story, like an extra layer to love. How beautiful is that!
