"Time Heals All Wounds" ...Right?

"Time Heals All Wounds" ...Right?


Wrong.



Time does not heal all wounds, although it certainly helps. I believe the individual and their mindset is what helps your mental (even physical) wounds to heal.



Recently I've had a...shall we say "falling out" with someone who meant a lot to me.



He and I had a special type of relationship, and we've been friends for over a year. I helped him a lot and he I, and we've been through a lot together. Around February we stopped talking, and I got asked out (in real life) so I said yes. Now I've been dating this very sweet boy for ~3 months and he treats me amazingly. I told my friend everything going on, but he thought we were dating (and I can see how, but at the same time, I can't.)



Well he was very upset needless to say. Long story short- he hates me and I'm sad.



But you know what? If he and I were meant to be then it'll happen in the future.

My heart hurts, my chest is compressed and my lungs are being squeezed. My throat has a lump and my eyes brim with tears. But I'm not going to cry over him. I believe "reality is what you make of it" so honestly, I don't even care anymore.



I'm sad and I'm going to miss him but life will go on. He'll move on as will I. Time will not heal the wounds he or I have created for the other. The scars he's branded me with will always be there, my heart will be singed and smoldering, his will be blackened and rotted. If we ever met in real life, we won't be glad to see each other. I won't run up to him and hug him, he won't go with me to see the cherry-blossom trees in Japan/China, I won't be able to look at him without regretting what happened between the two of us.



But if I allow myself, I will be sad right now. I'll cry, I'll get mad, I'll binge eat chocolate. Eventually though, he won't be of importance anymore. I'll pas him by on the street and feel a twinge of sadness in my heart but I'll think to myself "I'm glad we had the time together we did."



The time that's passed by may be 10, 15, 30 years, and the outcome won't be the same, unless I allow it to change. I gotta put mind over matter, I gotta remember that although in the short-run I'll be sad and upset, in the long-run everything will be better.




P.S. Brandon, I know you won't see this but whatever happens in the future, it'll never be too late for you. You'll find love, someone you deserve. But until then, I'll gladly once again be your guardian angel as you rule the world. ~Jade
