What’s a scar? If you ask me it is a tissue that replaces the original skin tissue after a wound has healed.Mind you the scar tissue is stronger than the original skin tissue.If you grew up in the village you have several scars to show for your childhood. You got injured climbing trees to steal your grandma’s loquats, mangoes,trying to sneak through the fence and like me I have many because I fell all the time trying to climb trees.What do your scars remind you about? Do you feel nostalgic or sad?

Scars are not only physical but emotional at times.Emotional ones take a long time to heal and energy to get over.From my own experience the physical ones make me laugh while the emotional ones make me wince at times while at the same time appreciating that I learnt something.

Our scars aren’t the most beautiful parts of our bodies but God ensured they’d be there so that we would learn something.We love to regret we were never in those situations but that has to change so that we can appreciate life.

We have to understand that scars are a reminder of our strengths and not weaknesses. They show we are survivors of hard times and the lessons we took from them we ought to share with others.

Here are some of my best quotes that I pray encourage you to embrace those irregular darker than normal shades in you.
