Just my opinion...
Wounds, whether physical, emotional or psychological, always leave a mark on us. It's something you can't erase anymore even as time goes by. But you have a choice whether to look at it as a badge of courage or something to be humiliated about. If you choose the former, then this wound can give a positive effect on your life. You learn from these wounds and rebuild yourself from this pain. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger, right?
On the other hand, if you see this wound as something hideous and humiliating, then this will have the opposite effect: you live in eternal depression. You thrive in pain. You lose yourself in the process. That's the downside.
Bottomline, scars form as time passes by, that is inevitable, but how you deal with the pain and the healing process is what really matters.
