SCARS

Years ago, I had a very terrible accident that almost took my life.
Being in the hospital and always lying down left me with so many negative thoughts especially when people visit with a lot of pity.
After some time, The wounds began to heal gradually and I was so excited.

Months and years passed but the SCARS were still there. So many suggestions from family and friends on what to use on them to fade away but, They remained visible.
At some point, I got a bit worried about the scars on my body because I thought I used to have a clear skin and all of a sudden, Everything changed.

People always ask me what happened to me after seeing the SCARS on my face.Such questions always take me back to that terrible accident
But, As years passed, I always look at myself in the mirror and see a strong woman that survived what would’ve ended her life.

I always see a God that does the impossible at anytime..Did I mention how I prayed tirelessly after the accident? I was surprised at myself really because I was not so knowledgeable with the things of God at that age. I recited scriptures I never thought I could recite. I just kept saying them over and over again with deep conviction and faith that I was going to survive it and GOD did it.

Those SCARS represent healing and survival. They represent strength and hope.
We all have imperfections and scars physically and emotionally.These scars could be visible or hidden but they all have a story behind them. They either take us back to the past or remind us about what the future holds for us.

The physical scars are seen by many while the emotional scars are mostly hidden.

Emotional scars could be as a result of a trauma or abuse. But hey.., There are people with mental and emotional scars that have never been through a trauma or abuse.There are painful incidents you always remember that happened for so long but, Anytime you remember them, They always leave you emotionally broken.

I do not think any human has never been through emotional or mental situations that left them with SCARS. We are all humans and such situations are bound to happen at a point in time in our lives.
Some disturbing emotional SCARS could be unhealthy fear of being alone, Depression, passed flashbacks and so many others.

I have been through depression so, I definitely know what it looks or feels like.Many times, We struggle with these things, seek counsel and even pray.

It sounds so easy telling people in such situations that all will be well but, It’s pretty hard to heal most times. Healing comes gradually and for me, It must come with acceptance.

You must agree to heal first before it manifest physically if you have emotional SCARS.

Love your physical SCARS because you survived.

Do not let SCARS limit you from being yourself.

Those SCARS gives others hope and trust me, You do not know how many people get inspired by how strong you are.
Keep being strong darling ❤️
