Scars

When I was a boy, I was always doing daredevil things that would leave me scars. Scars were cool, they meant that you were tough and almost a man. Where you are an adult, we develop other types of scars. These scars you cannot see or flaunt them in front of your friends. And many times they take a lot longer to heal.
I am not saying that I am the only person on Earth that have scars, everybody has them, some more than others. These scars are like real scars, they don't ever go away, but like my boyhood scars, you learn things from each one of these scars. If you don't, then you are likely to get bigger scars. These scars can come from being molested as a child then turning to drugs in adulthood, having bad parents that are abusive, or even regrets.
The hurt lessens with time, but you will always feel down into your soul and feel those scars that remind you where you have come from. Maybe it was that old girlfriend that broke your heart years ago, or that relative that you will not speak to again because of a long-waged war.
The point being is that how are you going to keep those scars and also move on with your life? I think of myself as an expert in this, I have many scars, but I call them my battle wounds. I could turn to drugs or other things that can keep those wounds open, or give time to let my wounds heal. The best person to talk to about this is somebody who has the same scars, and with time, the won't heal up to normal again, but they will stop bleeding and let you live in happiness again.
