The scars you can’t see are the hardest to heal.
scars
War paint
We paint our lives with passion and peace, with love and laughter — to cover the pain and scars, the bitterness and tears.
Healing stronger
Scars tell us more about the future than the past, about how we can live strong despite any pain we’ve been through.
Memorials
Scars are lessons, or victories, memorialized in flesh.
Scraps
A scar is a memory from the scrapbook your body is keeping about you.
Stitches & seams
I need to get over the hard times of my past. They’ve left scars, but scars are just memories.
Ten thousand fathoms deep
“You peer into my life to find a lingering past, but I tell you it was sunk ten thousand fathoms deep and weighted down with my dead self. You look into my breast to find that old, old open wound, but I tell you I seared it with my hot tears and only the cicatrix is there.”
—Muriel Strode (1875–1964), My Little Book of Prayer, 1904
Scars regard
A scar is a prayer of gratitude for that which remains.
