Why the obsession with scars, you ask? Writing about scars is a cliché, you say? Oh dear, I must have you know this: I set on writing about wars, the bloodshed, the fading armies, conquering territories, conquests, a so called 'triumph' with no survivors. Then it dawned on me that wars left no trails, save those scars. If ever wars made a mark in history, it was the scar they left behind. I couldn't fight wars, I couldn't conquer territories. So, I'll write about scars, and conquer my insecurities. On clichés and yes, scars. Stars above and scars within. I look up to the former, I delve into the latter. #YQBaba #Scars
