Scars

Everyday standing in front of the mirror, in between counting the amount of pimple marks on my face and also counting the amount of blackheads there are on my nose, I would always notice this scar on the left side of my forehead. The scar has been a part of my facial feature for very very long now but the only thing amiss about it was that, I myself can't remember a thing about how and when it came about.

To be truthful, I never really bothered until one fine day, my curiosity got the better of me. I decided to ask my dad and when he gave me this "have-you-lost-your-memory" look.

Dad: you mean you dunno?
me: nope.
Dad: u were running around and u fell into a drain, we brought u to a hospital. they wanted to stitch u up but i told them not to.
me: oh??

I must have had quite a childhood haha. There was one time when I remember myself falling down one whole flight of stairs head first. It hurt like shit. I cried buckets. I was 7. But it left no scarring whatsoever and I'm still alive.

In life, some scars remain but we don't really know how and when it got there. Whereas there are some very prominent hurting moments which you can remember vividly, yet they are only temporary defects which goes away after a while. Humans usually forgive but cannot seem to forget what happened and sometimes a quarrel goes on for so long that we forgot how it started and at the end of it, the damage is already done and we aren't even sure what caused it. It just became a norm.

If you are caught in any of them, it's time to get out of it. For those who are forgiving, it's time you moved on and forget whatever that has happened for nothing can change the course of history. If a quarrel has gone on for so long that it is beginning to seem pointless, it's time to voice out, talk about it with the affected parties and settle things there and then. For all you know, you might be surprised at yourself quarreling over some minor issues. =)
