They are precisely those scars (note that I said scars and not wounds) that make a person not seen in "black and white", experiences and difficulties overcome fill us with color, make us see in the definition, make us be more Let's be ourselves and "do not give a shit" what other people think.
Thanks for sharing @stellabelle
good point. it is the scars, yes, writers who remember every single scar are usually the best writers.
