Scars


Scars are something you get when you get hurt, but manage to heal from the immediate problem. I have several. The most profound (and obvious) are the ones I collected almost 30 years ago. There are both penalties and benefits associated with carrying scars around.

What specifically happened when I accumulated the first major set, was me crashing a motorcycle very hard at a high rate of speed. Most of the details are irrelevant now. The bottom lime is that I got stupid and got myself hurt (in terms of scars, that is almost amusing). I spent 7 hours in surgery, 36 hours in the ICU, 8 days in the hospital, and was out of work for a month. The bad news is that I landed on my face, and I am not a pretty boy anymore. I consider myself somewhat disfigured, but that is all in the eye of the beholder. I have been repeatedly told to get plastic surgery, but I refuse. When I was teaching, sometimes students would ask WTF happened to me. When they asked, I told the truth. If not for the grace of God, you could look like this too..

Strangely enough, my worst critics were my ex-in-laws. Considering that my ex-wife and her cunt sister were pulled (or perhaps ejaculated) from the same hole (AKA my ex-mother in law), it leaves me feeling like many have held their noses and tolerated me for as yet unspecified reasons. If I had a dollar for every time I was accused with fucking her cunt sister, I would be retired by now. Anyhow, I digressed....

The actual message I have in this post is that scars come from damage that was done to us at some point in time. The reason we have them is part of the healing process. On the flip side of that, while that seemed positive, not everyone is willing to accept the aftermath of your experience. While there are times that we do suffer, and become stronger from it, there will always be some that find it repulsive. In reality, sometimes these scars are physical, and sometimes they are emotional. There are times when existing scars breed more scars. If you are over 40 and reading this, I am already preaching to the choir.

What I have learned from this is that those that say nothing about these things either find it to be immaterial to their situation, or are holding their noses. Those that did bother to ask either accept me or reject me for being that stupid at that point in my life. Those that openly come unto me, caress me, and say stuff like, "poor baby" have me reaching for my wallet. That is not my weight loss program of choice. The last option I have found is that they get a look at me and run screaming in the opposite direction. While bad for the ego, it does help simplify life in my world.

I have typed more than I planned to already. I can close now. We all have scars of some kind, and they eventually get noticed. They are always bed when you get them, and you can always look back and wish it never happened. That will not change who you are and where you are. We are not empowered to change the past, only influence the future. What we do with that is entirely up to us. That does not mean that is clear cut, only at our discretion. we will still have to act, and react, to whatever happens.

Thanks for reading!
