I Have a Story to Tell

To forgive and forget. Such a noble concept. The fact is no matter how much we say we are a forgiving people, our actions speak louder. We wear our wounds and no matter how we want them to heal the healing process is independent of our influence. True you can put cream on your scars and nurse them back to health or you can neglect the marred area and either method may yield different results. Still the fact remains that you will always remember the process when you stop to look at your battle wound or when something reminds you of the accident that caused the scar.

I say we forget about the "forgetting" process and learn to forgive and accept because our history is what really shapes us as individuals. Throughout my life the most intriguing people I have met have had a story to tell. A man (or woman) without wounds is a person who is afraid to live and who lacks a story. So cry, laugh, chill, forgive, and accept. You will be a better person for it and you will have stories to tell your children that will make them look up to you and look to you for answers because you have been through it!
