From an Alien’s Perspective

As they say… Time heals all wounds.

What about the mark that was left behind? 

Sometimes its as noticeable as the original wound that even if there is no more pain, the mark makes people remember that once upon a time you had a wound that gave you pain and discomfort.  Everytime you look at yourself in the mirror, you would recall all the hurt it caused you both physically and emotionally.

Sometimes its as if there was no wound there before at all.  You can go on with your as if nothing happened.  People won’t remember that you had that wound before because there’s nothing to remind them.  When you look at yourself in the mirror, you see your old self.  There is a certain level of confidence in the way you regard yourself because all you see is the better looking person that you are with no trace of whatever wound you had in the past.  Nothing to remind you that once upon a time, you had a wound which caused you a lot of pain both physically and emotionally.

Time heals all wounds. Yes.  But it does not erase the mark because it is there to remind you of the lessons that you need to learn from the mistake you did in the past which gave you the wound.  There is no more pain so you can go on with your life and fix all that needs to be fixed.
