some one i met

last year i was in winnipeg for a highland games and i met this woman,she was part of the organizing crew.now she had been in a car accident and her face got severely damaged. down the right side starting just above the eye and continuing down past her mouth was a scar that was about 3/8 of an inch thick and extremely prominant. the amazing thing was she was not self conscience of it at all,i remember thinking that most people would probably want to run and hide but her,i do not think it affected her at all. her self confidance was so apparent that i could not even imagine her with out the scar. i watched her that evening because lets face it,as a species,humans are pretty vain,guys might like scars as it makes them look more rugged but i am pretty sure women are not big on them.she was so comfortable with her self,she had oodles of charisma that it did not matter what happened to her,her personality over-ruled every thing else. she was pretty cool,i hope to go to winnipeg again this year and meet up with her again

Isn't that inspiring? I love hearing stories like that - it really goes to show its what inside of you who makes you who you are.
