For a wound to truly heal one must give it the proper time, attention, and treatment. Being too quick to stop the treatment and remove the bandage only leaves it vulnerable to opening up again.
I wrote the above quote referring to all kinds of wounds. Physical wounds, wounds of the heart, and the wounds we suffer from mental strife or illness.
In the past, after being hurt or wounded by one thing or another, I used to be quick to end treatment and “move on”. I’d try to ignore what had happened when it seemed superficially healed. But deep down the wound would fester, in a sense, even if it had a normal appearance. Sometimes I was hardly aware of the fact, but wondered why I was not feeling 100%. I’d eventually be reminded of that hurt in a greater way, or there would be a scar left years later because of improper treatment. If the wound again showed itself more greatly, perhaps I’d quick treat it a second or third time and move on again, but eventually I’d have to deal with it properly. Only then did it truly heal. Let’s be sure not to leave wounds improperly treated forever.

Thank you, JL. I was really inspired by today’s word. It’s interesting that I seemed to treat ALL types of wounds the same way, up until recently.

So true! The seemingly little wounds can add up to a major crisis for which band-aid helps no more.

In our culture heartbreak is not thought of as something you need to heal from. Just pick yourself up and keep running!

Po’ Girl Shines, I’ve had long periods of healing needed from heartbreak. I don’t truly love that easily. When it is rejected it stings seriously.
