"Geoffrey Chaucer wrote: Time heals all wounds.

But what he failed to mention was the scars those wounds leave behind. The painful things that happen to us permanently leave their mark. They don't necessarily hurt anymore but they're always there as a reminder, as a memory. And as time passes, maybe the memory gets a little fuzzy. But we always have the scar to remind us it happened. That we lived through it. That we survived. And maybe I had some scars on me but I felt like I was now ready to leave my mark on the world."
