Scars

I wanted to write today about Scars.
Those that are visible
as well as
those that are not.

Those we have given to others,
those that we have given to ourselves
and
those that others have caused.

We all have them.

Some are hidden
some are in plain view.

It is the ones that are hidden
that seem to hurt the most
that take longer to heal

And it all comes down to trust

You see when we are scarred on the inside
we have been hurt so badly emotionally
that the healing process takes a lot longer.
Visible scars can be covered
healed with cream
or laser treatments.

But invisible scars
those that seem to open
when we have forgotten the hurt
they take longer
they take trust to heal
they take faith in the Universe
that you will never be hurt
like that again.
They can open at the most
inappropriate times
When we are willing to trust again
a memory breaks through
and opens the scars one more time.

So how can we heal these invisible scars?

I believe we need to reach out and communicate
to those we truly trust.
To allow the scar to open up
so that we can
heal
and
move
forward.

Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable
to allow another to help with the
healing
that's what truly heals scars.

Being vulnerable
and allowing
help

I wonder how many of us
walk around this planet
with such intense invisible scars
that allow us to not reach our full potential?

Because pain and fear can either
help
or
hinder.

They can help by allowing us to truly
feel the pain, truly live in that fear
and face it head on.
To allow us to see that we are not only
surviving
we
are
thriving.

We have walked through the fire
and have the scars to prove it.

We have loved so deeply
so
intensely

We were willing to give our all
without fear
and we got burnt badly.

Yet,
we have the ability to heal ourselves
to start again
to start a fresh.

It is us that allow those scars
to continue to hold us back.
No one else hurts us so badly
as we do ourselves.

In loving ourselves
we heal ourselves

In healing ourselves
we nurture our soul and spirit.

And in that healing
we allow ourselves the
understanding
that we are worth
the risk
that scars may be opened
new scars may appear

But loving and being loved
is the most gracious energy.

In giving
we received
in loving
we
are
loved.

May your scars be healedso that you may trust again.
