“Some people read palms to tell your future, but I read hands to tell your past. Each scar makes a story worth telling. Each callused palm, each cracked knuckle is a missed punch or years in a factory.” - Sarah Kay

Decryption of quote

Some people read palms to tell your future, but I read hands to tell your past.

Imagine a pair of hands, weathered and worn, each line and crease telling a unique story of a life lived. These hands have seen hardship and triumph, love and loss. They hold the memories of a person's journey through time.

Each scar makes a story worth telling.

Scars are not just marks on the skin; they are reminders of battles fought and obstacles overcome. They are symbols of resilience and strength, proof that the person wearing them has faced challenges head-on and emerged victorious.

Each callused palm, each cracked knuckle is a missed punch or years in a factory.

Calluses and cracked knuckles are badges of hard work and dedication. They are the result of hours spent laboring in fields, factories, or any other place where hands are put to the test. They are a testament to the sacrifices made in pursuit of a better life.

When I look at a person's hands, I see more than just skin and bones. I see a lifetime of experiences, of joys and sorrows, of struggles and triumphs. I see the essence of who they are, etched into the very fabric of their being.

So next time you look at your own hands, take a moment to appreciate the stories they tell. Embrace your scars and calluses, for they are a part of what makes you unique. And remember, your past is not something to be ashamed of, but something to be proud of.

For in the end, it is our past that shapes us into the person we are today. And it is our hands that carry the weight of our history, guiding us forward into the future with strength and grace.
