Scars

Scar, Old scar, Scarred skin

Every scar has a story behind it, a moment that hurt and then closed. Dreams about scars often look back at what you've come through. Your own scar may stand for an old experience that still shapes you, even if it no longer stings. Showing it proudly is a sign you've made peace with what happened. Hiding a scar can mean you'd rather not be seen as someone who has struggled. A new scar where there was none may be about a recent hurt that's still finding its place in your life.
