Written in the Scars

by Adriana Locke

Maybe that’s what love is, something so beautiful and perfect that you can only feel it.

“You can’t expect a relationship to succeed based on the love you felt at the beginning. It succeeds because you continue to build on it until the end.”

“Your heart will be more scarred than your back by the end of your lifetime. That is, if you live the right way.”

“Life isn’t easy. Love isn’t for the faint of heart. You have to just put your fears aside and go for it.

Love fully, even when it gets hard. Give forgiveness, even when you aren’t sure the other guy deserves it. And in every friendship you’re in, don’t forget to actually be friends.”

Life does pack a punch. But it’s the scars that make us who we are, that tell the story of the life we lived.
