Lots of us have scars. Those scars on our knees from when we were learning how to ride a bike, or when we were playing Tag. But other scars cannot be seen. The ones that are found on the inside, the ones that we have no idea on how they heal; the fact that they cannot be seen does not mean that they don’t hurt, People often say that those scars are just in your mind and that you should get over it. They don’t get it at all, because just like physical scars, we can not accelerate the process of healing; our inside scars are the same way. When we have a really bad wound physically, there is a doctor to help us and give us medication. But for an emotional wound, there is nothing; just us. All we have is yourself, no one else because the only doctor you have is YOU. yes, you might have so many people giving you love and support, but you are the only one that can make the decision to heal. In the story of life, you are the main character. Just like you, I have scars that cannot be seen; scars that are in the process of healing. If we go back to those scars, they hurt and bleed one more time. I know how bad it feels, and you’re not alone, But one day we can go back and just remember. Because it has healed already. One day those scars will just be memories; marks from your past that are there to remind you that you are strong and you made it. We may not have a pill for emotional scars, but love and support are our best medication. When you have a scar, the best thing I will recommend you to do is to let your sadness, anger, whatever is inside of you, let it out; don’t keep it in. Go ahead: scream, cry, be mad. Just let it out, just like when you have a physical scar. Blood comes out. Our emotions, feelings; that is our blood. In the end, you are the only one who has the decision to heal and move on, you can move on at your own pace, don't rush it. At the end of this long and sometimes dark race there is a light, full of joy and happiness, Don't worry about the past, it is behind you and about the future, we don't know what it is going to bring us, But the present is a gift that is why its called present so keep it up. there is always a way back to the bright side.
