The acquisition of a condition lends significance to one's existence. An illness, a cross to bear.
Steven Pressfield • The War of Art
And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life.
