It didn’t just hurt emotionally. It felt like every part of my body hurts. Physical pain. It hurts more than you could ever imagine. Especially when the relationship you’ve worked so hard to build is well.. Falling apart. Scratch that. It already did. But should you have tried again and continued to fix it? No. Because its causing you too much pain. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, “Time heals all wounds.” But what he failed to mention was the scar those wounds leave behind. The painful things that happened to us permanently leave their mark. They don’t necessarily hurt anymore but they’re always there as a reminder. As a memory. As time passes the memory might get a little fuzzy but the scar is there to remind us that it happened, that we lived through it.
Someday, somehow I’ll be whole again.
