“The Fire and the Scar”

Pain has always been my greatest teacher. I used to curse it, fight it, numb - until I realized that fire is not the enemy. It’s the forge.

Every scar I carry marks a lesson learned in the flames. Every burn was a purification, not a punishment. The difference between destruction and transformation lies in what you decide to do with the fire.

Some people let pain break them. Others use it to harden their edge. I choose the latter, because I’d rather be scarred and tempered than untouched and hollow.
