One of my friends tweeted, " Why do old scars itch? " I wanted to reply but I didn't know exactly what to say. I just suddenly felt my own old scars itching, again. Then I realized that no matter how long it has been, or how I managed to get through my days in the past and how convinced I am in feeling that I'm in control of my fate, old scars will still have a way of letting me know that they are, and will still be there, always.
Old scars are reminders of battles lost, pain gained and heavily traumatized heart. And no matter how deeply flawed one's memories have become through the miracle of time, very unfortunately, the ugliest of all the scars are the easiest to itch, over and again.
Each scar, old or new, has a story. When they itch, they bring a fluttering memory of how it got there, how horrible it was and of course, how it was survived. It's amazing how the itch sometimes reminds me of the strength I had and how brave I was. And it's so natural how most of the times, it pushes me to go back to zero.
