Scars

Just like how some fade over the years, some stay put in place no matter what we do to try and erase them. 
And while some are not seen on a daily basis, some are so painstakingly visible you wish for blindness.
Some scars don't hurt after a while, but some remain just as painful as on the very day you got them.
Little ones skim the surface of our lives, many scars go far enough to make us remember, a rare few leave a gaping crater. 

These scars - big or small, deep or superficial - they are all there for a reason. 
Whether or not they are there to remind us of past mistakes or choices wrongly made, 
of events we never saw coming or of circumstances over which we had no control..

..Scars are there to remind us that the past is real,
and also...they ARE supposed to heal. 

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." 
- Galatians 5:1 -
