In every day life, we bump into people and they bump into us… It doesn’t hurt… we all learn, we grow, we toughen…
But, when we have an open wound, bumping could be really painful… people do not see, our wound. It is hidden under layers and layers of clothing… So, when they accidentally bump into us and we scream and shout in pain, they don’t understand… And it’s not their fault… they didn’t cause our wound, they are not responsible for it, they don’t even know it is there.
We need to take a break… sit by ourselves for sometime, tend to our wound, gently clear it, cleanse it, disinfect it…
Pouring disinfectant on our wound might burn even more; but neglecting it will make it even worse. It will drill down to our core, infest and intoxicate our system… we need to purify, revitalise and refresh… may be we’ll need some help from a friend, a family member, a coach or a therapist… or may be we just need to sit by ourselves for some time… Whatever it takes…
When we heal our wound, we’ll be ready to mingle through life again… only then, everyday bumping won’t hurt as much… it will toughen our skin further and teach us to better navigate through life in the future.
Dear fragile soul, where are you hurting? What wound(s) do you need to take care of before the pain becomes unbearable, before it robs sleep off your eyes and wipes the smile off your life? What wound(s) do you need to take care of before it gets so inflamed and sore that even passing by it without even touching it hurts?
It’s okay to announce it… it is okay to tell everybody: “Excuse me as I need some time for my self… I’m working on some personal issues right now” You are actually doing them a favour, you’re giving them permission to work on their own personal issues, because, you know what, we all have wounds and we all hide them under layers and layers of make up, clothing and embellishment.
Some wounds have been there for so long that we forgot about them… we wonder why a tiny bump or even a friendly pat could hurt so badly… we hid our wounds so well that even we fail to acknowledge their presence…
No wound can heal when buried… it needs to be exposed… it needs the fresh air and gentle breeze and sometimes it needs to be disinfected…
So, dear beloved soul, don’t hide your wounds… Carve time off your busy schedule to tend to your injuries and hurts… Carve time off your busy schedule to heal…
