It has been said, "time heals all wounds." I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.
- Rose Kennedy.
Because, these scar tissue may come in the form of calluses. When they are scrapped off, I will realise that I'm back to square one. (continuing the quote)
Life has been slamming into my face like a sledgehammer. And how I hope certain things are merely my paranoia acting up. But maybe, it was indeed my delusions that lead to such tragedy. Yes, tragedy. And you may question, how is it a tragedy if it doesn't lead to fatalism. Well, should I say, I was close. Close to that.
I looked back at the things that have happened. And this question keeps directing back to me. "What the hell have I been doing with my life?" I thought this can't be the end of it because I know greater things are ahead of me. I love you. But I want to love myself more.
And now, I will pick up what's left. One thing I learnt, there's no such obstacle so huge that one can never find that ounce of strength to live through it. I may never be able to heal those wounds. But I will cover it with greater things in life.
I know this is pretty vague but I will update soon. Real soon. And definitely, I will continue my short poetic writings. Meantime, I need to get a breather and some inspiration to go by writing.
Oh yes, I wanna thank those we have been there. You know who you are. Love you guys.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
- William Wordsworth.
