I recently read an article in Angel Hack Life about things learned while traveling. But one of the points got my attention, "your scars are a symbol of your growth". I always hold this true and in a way is why I have never been really afraid of getting hurt, in any way. People always wondered how did I dare do things most are afraid to do. I just answered I wasn't, which is true. Anxious? Nervous? Yes. Afraid? Not really. Seldom some moments of normal fear we all have. In the end, when I feared something, I wonder why I fear it and either fix it or just do it conquering my fear. Even when I would get hurt, I would feel proud in the end of my accomplishment, even if failed. The funny thing is, the more I feared it, the more I wanted it. Like the first time I ventured on my own to cross the ocean. Or the time I decided to win the heart of the man I know love with all my soul. I was afraid, terrified of both, and this exactly was what drove me to make my choices. I knew that if none worked, in the end, I would heal, and I would carry the scars that would remind me that I dared live, that I dare conquer, that I dare try and not just sit wondering 'what if'.
I am not afraid of scars, if any, I am proud of them, they always remind me not to be afraid to live and do things the way you want. They remind me that no matter how badly wounded, you always heal. That no matter how long ago it was, you lived and survived. That you took a chance. That life is a fun adventure and one should not be afraid of living it. There is always a place to start if you need to. Always new skin to keep protecting you.
Which scar are you mostly proud of?
