The scars on our hearts

remind us of the pain we once felt—

of the love we longed for

but never received.

They echo the quiet battles,

the nights spent wondering

if we were ever enough.

Though healed,

they sometimes sting

when patterns reappear—

familiar,

comforting,

yet toxic.

But scars tell stories:

of resilience,

of strength forged

in the crucible of hardship.

They shape us

into something whole.

Still,

we carry on.

Every step forward

draws us closer to solace.

Each beginning

holds the promise

of a brighter tomorrow.

We learn to embrace

our imperfections—

testaments to survival.

We find strength

in vulnerability,

wisdom

in mistakes.

In those raw moments,

we understand

what we seek

and who we must become.

The journey molds us,

shapes us

into hearts capable of love,

of understanding.

With these scars,

we love better,

live deeper.

Embracing flaws,

we grow compassion—

offering unguarded hearts

to those we cherish.
