Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.

Words can't hurt you, they can only hurt your image of you.

If you don't heal what hurt you, you'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.

A scar is not an injury. A scar is healing. After an injury, a scar is what makes you whole.

The scars you acquire by exercising courage will never make you feel inferior.

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Scars are tattoos with better stories - they're written by life, not chosen by design.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you - but only if you stop covering it.

Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

Some scars are so deep they become compasses - they point us toward what we need to avoid or embrace.

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, and found their way out of the depths.

Pain carves out spaces in us that joy later fills - the deeper the carving, the more joy we can contain.

Unhealed wounds become the lenses through which we see everything - until we clean the glass.

Scars are nature's sutures - the body's wisdom knitting us back together in its own way.

The strongest souls are not those who avoided suffering, but those who have suffered and transformed it.

What breaks your heart also breaks it open - if you let it.

Our wounds become our wisdom when we stop hiding them and start learning from them.

Some pain is so profound it becomes a secret language between you and God.

The most dangerous wounds are the ones we pretend don't exist.

Healing is not about returning to who you were, but about becoming who you were meant to be through the breaking.

Scars are the body's memory of survival - reminders that we endured what we thought would end us.

The deepest wounds often come from love - and only love can truly heal them.

Pain that is not transformed will be transmitted - to others, to the next generation, to your future self.

Our scars are not signs of weakness but maps of where we've been and who we've overcome.

Some wounds never fully heal - they become sacred places we visit to remember our strength.

The most beautiful mosaics are made from broken pieces - so too with human souls.

Healing begins when we stop asking "Why did this happen?" and start asking "What is this teaching me?"

Our greatest growth often comes from our deepest pain - if we're brave enough to mine it for wisdom.
