So often we see our bruises as markers for bad memories, mistakes or poor decisions. I view them as reminders of grand adventures, unraveling laughter and lessons I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.
My best stories are often inspired from the black, blue and yellow marks on my knees or head (and my heart).
These bruises make for better conversation
Loses the vibe that separates
It’s good to let you in again
You’re not alone in how you’ve been
Everybody loses, we all got bruises
We all got bruises~Lyrics by Pat Monahan
How often do we forget to be joyful in the face of struggle? To hide our emotional battle scars and bandage over the wounds with futile attempts and masks.
To cover up our bruises.
We all got bruises–it’s okay to let them show.
