left unchecked

^{scar:
-a mark left by a healed wound, sore, or burn
-a lingering sign of damage or injury, either mental or physical}

A scar is best used as a reminder. Though it no longer hurts, the memory of how we got it sometimes still does. Scars can result from either good/careless times or bad times. Scars are rather haunting because they never go away. Perhaps through these scars we learn hard lessons, get stronger, and finally move on.
