SCAR TISSUE

Scars usually appear after some form of trauma to the body—the body scars as a part of the body’s healing process. The body sends collagen fibers to the site of the injury as a method to heal the wound. Scars can take an extended amount of time to disappear, while some never disappear at all. The external scars are easily noticeable, but internal scarring is cloaked. The inner scar tissue is usually the result of the most traumatic injuries to the body. Individuals who have had surgeries will develop internal scar tissue that can cause long-term issues, especially if the body requires more surgical procedures.

Trauma to a person’s emotional health can have progressive repercussions causing compounded emotional damage, and emotional scars are always obscure. The same holds true for emotional scarring; extended healing time is needed, while some never repair.

This is not intended to be a medical post but is designed to be a reminder that you never know what a person has endured before they encounter you. The stressors in our current society are evident, and many people are in a fragile state. So, how will you impact someone’s life today? Your encounter with your barista, customer, or customer service representative can sometimes make or break that person. The way you treat others can be the bright spot or encouragement they need to stay alive or hold on for another day.

In a world where we are now terrified to shake hands and give hugs, a smile, and a kind compliment can go a long way. So, I challenge you today to be kind, smile, say “thank you,” and be encouraging to someone. You may be part of the healing process, or you can be the cause of more scars.
