It happened a few times ; i hurt myself slightly and on accident, bleed and watch the wound close. If i caused that wound while doing something great, something i will miss, then i would just touch it once in a while, feel it cicatrize under my touch. It is also a way for me to acknowledge time passing. It makes my experiences more real and more meaningful: it's like, if they leave a real print on my body, then, and only then, did they really happen and are not only living in my mind but here, in reality.
Yes, sometimes, the small scars, scratches, bruises, or even tan, fading, can make me sad. But i mean that is also a part of the whole thing: you will progressively forget about those marvelous memories, even though you've learned so much and still cherish them inside. So you need new ones, in fact keep experiencing, experimenting, discovering, keep living fully. Your life's not in the past.
