The Strength In Our Scars” is Bianca Sparacino’s reminder to you: No matter what you’re going through, no matter where you are on your healing journey—you are strong. i wasn’t expecting important daily reminders & passages that i could truly resonate with & that help with feelings of doubt, helplessness, love & every other emotion we tend to feel. i felt like the passages dug deep & tore me up telling me not what i want to hear, but what i need to hear.

SELF-PROMISES Let yourself be sad, let yourself be a mess. But promise yourself that you’ll try a little harder each day. That’s all you can do. Take it day by day. You’ll learn things about yourself you didn’t know; you’ll learn that all this time maybe you deserved more. A beautiful thing happens when you give your heart time to heal itself. You become you again. You find happiness again, and when you do, you know it’s because of how far you’ve come when you thought you’d lost all hope. And if that’s not something to look forward to, then I don’t know what is.” REMEMBER You’re more than this. You’re more than this feeling. You’re more than this. You’re more than this feeling.” This is about you. This is yours. So do those things you’ve always wanted to do. Learn that language, travel to that country, save for that house. Become confident in your own skin, grow to love yourself, create your own happiness. Quit that job if it makes you unhappy, get that degree, meditate daily. Exercise more, step outside of your comfort zone. Drink more water, look after yourself, be more optimistic. Work on that side hustle, read more books, and always, always trust yourself and your decisions.” FEEL HOW YOU FEEL Don’t let anyone tell you that your feelings are invalid. Don’t let anyone make you think that feeling deeply makes you weak. You know what you want and you are strong enough to know what you won’t tolerate. You’re allowed to feel how you feel, and you’re allowed to be upset when someone tells you otherwise.”

Don’t ignore that little part of you that tells you to keep going—the little voice in your head that’s strong and believes in you even when you are doubting yourself. Don’t run from that beautiful, vulnerable part of who you are. That’s the part that will lead you to great adventures and magical opportunities. Let that little voice speak louder—you have too much passion and determination to hide your gift from the world. Run free, my love; unleash your beauty on this world, and don’t stop until that burning fire inside your soul feels proud.” The author's message is simple but powerful: we already have everything we need to live happy, fulfilling lives within ourselves. Through a series of exercises and reflections, Freeman guides the reader on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

It’s important to remember that things won’t always go the way you want them to, and while you may not have any control over the outcome, you can control how you react to it.

Wake up with a purpose and make the best of each day and your short time on this earth. Stop saying, “I’ll do this when I have more money” or “I’ll start when I’m more settled.” Stop making excuses.

It’s okay to have different dreams for your life. It’s okay to live a life that some people don’t understand. It’s okay to live your life for you.

We’ve only got one life; it’s okay to spend it in a way that makes you happy.” HEARTS LIKE OURS Maybe we held on a little too long to the people who didn’t deserve us because we had more good in our hearts than they did. Maybe we saw them for how they could have been if they had a heart like ours. But they didn’t, and maybe they never will. Hearts like ours are special. They should be treasured, not broken.” Accept the fact that when you grow, sometimes you lose people and that’s okay. Charlotte Freeman, Everything You’ll Ever Need You Can Find Within Yourself
