Each personal experience leaves some kind of a scar within ourselves. Not all scars are bad or painful but those do greatly affect our next experiences. How often do you think about a past relationship that ended painfully, and not think about all the moments that left the scars? It could have been missed vacations, forgotten holidays, feeling used, feeling abandoned at times, and even just the moment you realize you're just not compatible after months of vetting. Those are just a few of my memories that have left my scars. I've come to realize that all of my "bad" scars have made my next relationship even more difficult because I didn't close the other doors and heal. Not once, until now, has someone taken the time to help me heal. Forgiving others for their mistakes, and learning to forgive myself. Closing those doors, giving Us the future we deserve.
To everyone out there, remember that everyone has scars. Some deeper than others, but they are all painful. Help each other be their best. Help each other heal. We all deserve the best in life.
