scars and stripes
A scar means that healing has taken place.
As a recovering perfectionist, I am learning to let go of control, gain the courage to step outside my comfort zone, and the grace to make mistakes in the process.
Sometimes things happen in our lives that absolutely turn our worlds upside down. Sometimes we allow people to get close to our hearts and they end up breaking them. The beauty of life though, is that we have the choice not to stay broken or in a state of despair.
Every second that we breathe is an opportunity to get better, heal from our mistakes, and accept the peace that comes with that. Don’t be ashamed of the scars produced by the bruises of life. Your scars and stripes are a reminder that you grew stronger, healed, and are a better version of you. ■
