“I don’t regret the painful times; I bear my scars like medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed by tears.”
Paulo Coelho – The Zahir
“Scars are medals branded on the flesh, and your enemies will be frightened by them because they are proof of your long experience of battle.”
Paulo Coelho – Manuscript Found in Accra
So good, he used it twice! Can’t knock him, it is a goodun!
You survived it. Scars prove this.
Regret nothing, no shame, just learning, take the lessons & move forward.
Visible or emotional marks prove your resilience to others. More importantly to yourself. These are the Hero Bars in the Cookie Jars.
