Scars (Mar. 12)

There are several momentus ocasions in life when you take something away to remember the event by. Normally these are happy and upbeat events, but what about the times when it is not all sunshine and bunnies. The body really is an amazing thing that makes every effort to not let you forget even the tough times. Think of that cut that you got that needed stitches. The skin is an amazing organ that repairs itself in such a way to get repaired as quickly as possible but to take as long as possible to disappear, if ever. The scar that remains is really an amazing thing. It is a marker that you earned through pushing your body to do something on the edge and the small fault led to a reminder left on your skin. Now you might be able to use this arguement for a tattoo but the logic does not carry through from the standpoint of a tattoo being something that you had to pay for and is more of an accomplishment for the tattoo artist than for yourself.
