Bleed Again.

Today I revisited an old wound. I particularly chose to leave this one to be at the bottom of my healing list.

I am very strategic; even with how I deal with pain. I know and believe in the importance of healing and how it’s intertwined with closure – they go hand in hand. Which makes certain wounds an extreme torture to confront.

One of the reasons I chose to leave this wound for later was because, you can’t really dictate the direction the healing with take you. It’s like how you would put your destination on your GPS but the routes it will guide you by are seldom your choice; especially if you’ve never travelled to that destination before. So in my case, I had to make sure that I’m well enough emotionally to live and survive which ever course the healing of this particular wound would be.

As much as I am pro healing, it’s important that you first secure your emotional strength before you attempt confrontation or the wound might pull you under.

Today I felt I had just enough emotional strength to attempt confrontation. Confrontation doesn’t mean you’ll be met with the same effort to heal by those that hurt you – which is why their response may make or break you, depending on your emotional strength.

I think it’s also import I speak about the manner of confrontation. This is important because it sets the tone of the healing process.

I hope this encourages you to find your healing, the right way, the right time…
