Remembering old wounds only reinforces the pain!!
Remember, as a child whenever we used to fall down and get wounded, we used to scratch the scab repeatedly. Not only that was painful, but also delays the healing of the wound. Our parents used to continuously forbid us from scratching it as they knew that it will only going to give us more and more pain. But all they could do was give advice, right? It was all upto us to leave it and heal or to scratch and feel the pain.
And if you look carefully, this is something most of us do as adults as well. Now, we fall down, get wounded and then instead of treating it with ointment and leaving it to heal, we scratch it repeatedly. The only difference is that now wounds are not physical and the emotional pain is always much more deeper than the physical one.
But, we should trust time as it heals everything. Time heals all wounds, unless you pick them again and again. Treat your wounds with the ointment of love and care and leave them for healing.
It's okay to rely upon your loved ones for the support when you are hurt. However they can only support you and it's upto you to recover and get back on your own feet. More importantly it requires will power besides self-love and patience to avoid scratching when you are desperate to do so.
Remember, that your wound is probably not your fault, but healing is your responsibility. If you keep lamenting over your past, you can never build your future...
