This life required scars, ... Some were on the outside, and some they carried on the inside. But scars weren’t shameful. They meant survival. They meant putting in work. They meant sticking around and getting through the hard stuff just on the chance that things could get better.

About This Quote

This Life required scars,...Some were on the outside, and some they carried on the inside. But scars weren’t shameful. They meant survival. They meant putting in work.

They meant sticking around and getting through the hard stuff just on the chance that things could get better. When you’re young, you feel like you can do anything. You feel like your future is bright and full of possibilities.

But life is full of hard times. It has its ups and downs, much like a roller coaster ride, and when you’re young, you don’t know how to handle or deal with those ups and downs because you haven’t been through any yet. That’s when everyone starts talking about how much they love to be in love.

You listen to them talk about it and think it sounds amazing, but you can’t relate because it’s not something that has happened to you yet.
