although every minute is a precious gift, sometimes we need to give ourselves time, in order to give ourselves a chance.

especially when the impact is especially hard, or hit too close to the heart for comfort, you cannot expect an overnight recovery.
and just like any injury, sometimes it comes back to hurt you when you least expect it, just when you thought you were ready to fly again.

and it's really 'gawd damn!' when that happens. because with the physical pain, you got to deal with the whole influx of memories and you relieve the whole experience again, and ultimately admit that perhaps you arent in the position to spread your wings just yet.

and then bitterness sets in. man, we're such embittered idiots.

but we need to give ourselves a break at times. i feel the problem with us is we tend to be too hard. we can provide the utmost care and say the sweetest things to strangers, but self therapy isnt a profession any of us are able to succeed although we have the capability and potential to do so.

time time time. the keyword is time. dont push it, dont force it. just let it be.

i must remember that too.

ever watched a loved one sleeping? it's one of the most beautiful pictures in the world your eyes can ever set upon.
