Scars {Heal With Time}

I've had this post sitting in draft for a long time now. I couldn't seem to find the right time to hit publish. The right time to put it out in the open. To make it public. So it sat. Unpublished. I didn't want to bring you down with such a heavy subject. But when I came across Taylor's post, she gave me the courage to go on and post it.

Scars. 

We all have them. (I've shared a few of mine in our fairy tale above.) 

Whether from falling off a bike, falling from a tree,

or, if you're like me, stumbling for no apparant 

reason but from this crazy thing we call gravity.

Gravity sure does cause us a lot of pain, hurt and in the end, scars.

But it's when you defy gravity, when you pick yourself

up and dust yourself off, that you really begin to heal.

It's then you begin to grow.

It's then you begin to move on with your life.

And, with time, you see the scars start to fade.

As ugly as the scars may seem at first,
with time, maybe a long time, but after some amount of time you'll start to heal. 

Learn to embrace your scars. Live life again. 
Don't be afraid to get back up again. 
Learn something from your scars and become something, someone new.

Your scars are not your identity.

They are not your life, but only something that occurred in your life.

They are not who you are, but merely a part of you.
