Journal of a Journalist Next Door - A SURVIVOR'S BEAUTY: THE STRENGTH OF WOMEN WHO EMBRACE THEIR SCARS

A SURVIVOR'S BEAUTY: THE STRENGTH OF WOMEN WHO EMBRACE THEIR SCARS 

For many women, the journey to motherhood is one of love, anticipation, and hope. However, for some, it’s also marked by surgeries, pain, and an overwhelming sense of resilience. These women bear scars that tell stories of strength, determination, and the joy of bringing life into the world.

One such woman is a mother of two who has undergone two Cesarean sections (CS) and a fibroid surgery. For her, these experiences are not just memories of medical procedures but reminders of the life-altering decisions she made to ensure the safety and well-being of her children. She wears her scars like a badge of honor, calling them her “beauty logo.” These marks of survival and motherhood serve as daily affirmations of her inner strength.

Like many women who undergo C-sections, she faced the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with major surgery. The decision to deliver via CS was not always in her hands but was the safest option for her and her babies. Each time, she braved the procedure with courage, knowing that it was a path to bringing her precious children into the world. Alongside the joy of motherhood, she faced the additional challenge of fibroid surgery, another scar that became part of her identity.

The beauty of these women lies not only in their ability to endure but in their choice to celebrate their scars. They represent the love and sacrifice that goes into becoming a mother, and in doing so, they redefine what beauty truly means. For this mother and many others like her, the scars left behind are symbols of triumph.

These women are survivors, not just of the physical trials of surgery but of the emotional and mental battles that accompany the experiences. They remind us all that beauty is not just about flawless skin but about the stories, battles, and victories that shape who we are.

To all the mothers who bear their scars with pride, know that your strength is an inspiration. Your scars are not imperfections but the logos of your resilience, love, and unmatched beauty.

SEPTEMBER SPECIAL...

Its 3.39am and a very tired Funmi is woken by the thought of children crying repeatedly (seriously, continuous cry is killing) but am gonna help tell the story (my business you know). How does a well fed kid cry in the morning? takes a bath, haves a nap, wakes in tears, has another meal, plays a short while, resumes crying, sleeps again for a shorter while than done in the morning, wakes in tears again, refuses food and expects to be carried while standing all night... who does that??? My fascination? they never seem to have headaches as the routine for some of them is stable. For real, do they have to cry so hard to get anything? arrrrrrgh! (Images withheld cause you don't wanna see what I found on research) ...oops! Have I welcomed you to the month of September? Aii, Happy new month. Its gonna be a great month. Ciao...
