The beginning of wisdom is knowing who you are
and when you’ve wisdom, you can tell the stories of your scars
and learn to create the world of your experience,
and build a world where mistakes are few and not expensive.

So turn your wounds into wisdom,
let go of the ugly past and choose the freedom
to enjoy the present in the absence of hurts that are long gone
and count your life not by tears but by smiles
but repeat not wrong choices that stole your joy in the past.
