Be Proud of Your Scars

September 8, 2015 Mimi Ikonn

Last week I burnt my hand really bad. Friends were over and I was baking these delicious rosemary potatoes. When I was pulling the pan out of the oven, the hot steam burnt the exposed part of the skin on my arm.  * Ouch* It happened so quick, I had no time to protect myself. "This is going to leave a scar" I thought. Getting hurt doesn't feel good, neither does knowing that it will leave a big scar.

Later that evening I got to thinking, what about the emotional scars I have? Would I ever want to undo them? The answer was clear. Scars are just scars. They are evidence and proof that we have lived, that we have loved, that we have cared... Scars tell a story about us, they become part of our identity. 


We can alienate ourselves in an imaginary comfort zone for the fear of hurting, burning or breaking our heart. Is that a way to live life though? It's in fact an illusion that we are safe in the comfort zone. Safety doesn't exist, it's not a real concept. We must live our life to the fullest, and if that means occasionally getting hurt, burnt and scarred, physically or emotionally, then be it. That's what makes us human after all...


What story do your scars tell? I'd love to hear from you. 


Much Love,
xx
Mimi

I could stare out like this for hours - at other people passing by - imagening where they are going and what their lives are like. At the hip hop dance class that’s happening right across in the building, reminding me how much I enjoy dancing and I should probably take some classes as well... at hundreds of cars passing by, all rushing somewhere... Do you like people watching as well?! πŸ‘‡πŸ»πŸ‘‡πŸ»πŸ‘‡πŸ» #peoplewatching #nyc #ilovepeople
