Indeed we have learned.

As I stared down at the circular scar left on the inside of my foot, I felt a sharp rush of pain. Not from the scar, but from the mistake attached to it. Where did I go wrong with you? And why is there a scar to remind me? It's funny to think how parallel a scar and a mistake are. Both caused by pain, both leaving a mark. However the beauty of scars is the simple fact that they show healing. Even though a wound never completely goes away, it repairs itself to the best of it's ability, and the wound is covered by something new. Much like our mistakes, although the memory of our mistake will stay with us, the pain will eventually become new, and all that is left is a mark showing that we indeed have learned, and that is really all we can ever do.

Current state of mind.

Bells will ring.

Last night my beautiful older sister got engaged to a wonderful man. Tears flowed from all our eyes, the second she said yes. It was a perfect setting for a engagment that had Chad and Erin written all over it. Set up on the porch of my sister's favorite historical house in old town San Juan, Chad asked Erin to be his forever. The candles shined in the rain, and Skinny love by Bon Iver played as they had their first kiss as a engaged couple. We all screamed of joy when we popped our heads out from behind the bushes. The night continued with a huge party with everyone so dear to Erin and Chad's heart. Erin and Chad, you two are my two favorite people in this entire world, and I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect for each other. I love you. Congrats.
