The world is a better place if shared with the people that matters. We have our doubts when we try to forgive our self from our own mistakes. We were given oppurtunities to save ourself from our demons because it was the right thing to do in times we felt alone and degraded. 

Our lives were written in our scars that it becames our brands as we walk the future. Life is full of trials but the scar we receive from our failures brands us into becoming better persons. 

Dear Yewon, 

Your scars are not your weakness it is your power. You are not a failure you have succeed in all walks of life. You are not just a celebrity you are a human living this life you were destined for your future. You are stronger than anyone I know. You are like the moon in the night sky that shines its light in our darkest hours. You are like the sun that brightens our dark path. You are more than what you think you are. You are a person that it vulnerable but carry a certain magic that makes us realize life is beautiful.'
