You are the sum total of everything that has happened to you. This can seem like a disadvantage when people around you have enjoyed a more perfect existence but, as you get older, you can find strength in the knowledge that you have endured things other people have not. This makes you a better person, whether you feel it or not.
Good luck with the rest of your life.

We just don't know about it and many play a game of hiding it, as if we are in a competition to see who can appear more perfect. When I see someone present that way, I assume they are hiding more. Personally, I purposely avoid playing the game. Nobody is fooling anybody anyway, and maybe I can inspire someone by being more open about my problems. The injuries and scars are human condition. I sometimes imagine they are like the parts chiseled out, as a sculpture would a block of stone. Those (non-existant) perfect people are an untounched block - there is nothing there.
