Love Your BEAUTY SCARS — Hand in Hand
Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real — Cormack McCarthy.
The following is the first part of a series entitled Love Your BEAUTY SCARS.
In this first piece, Kerchel Carter gives insight into how he got his scar and the subsequent impact on his life.
“I got stabbed in the hand by a bouncer at a nightclub,” he recounts. “I was trying to stop him from attacking one of my friends and that’s what happened.” Kerchel was only a teenager.
The nerve damage forced Kerchel to endure months of physiotherapy. The wound is still clearly visible across the lower portion of his right hand, and it serves as a constant reminder of a different time in his life.
When I look at my scar it brings me back to a place where I don’t wanna be. On one hand I see a hopeless young teen that didn’t push enough to make changes. But on the other hand I look at where I am right now in my life and I will have to credit that to my scar.
Emotionally I got over it but at times I do wonder, and wondering might lead to a min of sadness be that’s very far in between.
