Sometimes the faces of ones that left too soon come to mind or memories of their journey through life. We often take for granted what is in our lives and the people that surround us, whether they be family, friends, or foes. Each of us carries scars in the deepest part of ourselves, hiding them or living with them the best that we can. We are taught to hide our feelings and push what we feel away. Hearing words like Man up, you are acting like a child, and sometimes to a child, you are too emotional, or even crazy. Invalidated ourselves or others because of what people would people think if truly knew what we feeling. Wearing the faces or masks, as you lie to them and yourself that what happened didn't greatly impact our life.
Kindness seems to have lost its way in the world, it's been surpassed by many things. We forget that we are human and that life is hard enough without constant injections of judgment that people have no real idea what happening in another's world today or on any day. I often say to myself that I should be more grateful when trying to get somewhere else and even questioning why that is and wondering why I am trying to get somewhere faster than it is physically possible and what is the extra few minutes, because most of my stories or insight come in those few minutes which allows me to share them here. Don't be sad about your scars because someone somewhere has that scar too or many more. Then one can possibly know.
So be thankful and give thanks for what is in your life, because scars take time to heal. Happy Giving Thanks.
