scars

We rarely treasure our scars. Instead, we seek to erase them. There is a whole industry devoted eliminating that fibrous tissue. But me, I wish I had more of it. I wish I had some proof.

 (…) 

Wounds heal in a circle, from the outside in. Seeking forgetting in the healing. When we think of wounds, we want them to heal. We want our bodies to forget. We don’t want them to bear witness to the pain. Then again, sometimes we do. Sometimes we want the evidence.
