A Scar's Story

How the scar was created

No one ever expects to start a New Year with a permanent reminder of pain, but that’s exactly what happened to me. I was in a car accident on New Year’s Eve, and it left me with a nasty scar along my right forearm. The doctors told me that the scar was likely to be permanent, and I was devastated. I had always been proud of my smooth, unblemished skin, and the idea of having a permanent blemish scared me.

The crash itself was brutal. I remember feeling an immense amount of pain as the car slammed into a tree. I also remember seeing sparks flying around me, and hearing glass shattering as the windows burst open. The paramedics arrived soon after, and I was taken to the hospital. After several tests and scans, I was told that I had suffered a deep cut along my arm from the broken glass. The injury required stitches and left behind a long, jagged scar.

I spent months trying to come to terms with my new physical appearance, but it was hard. Everywhere I went, people would stare at my scar and ask questions. I began to feel embarrassed and ashamed of it, but eventually I learned to accept it. Now, instead of viewing it as a reminder of pain, I look at it as a reminder of strength; that even in the darkest of times, we can find a way to move forward and start anew.
