TIME DOES NOT HEAL WOUNDS

Maybe you grew up believing that time heals everything, that you should sit back and wait for the scars of past wounds to heal, that time is your best friend and that what doesn’t kill you certainly makes you stronger.

It is true, wounds make you strong, they are war battles that show you what you have suffered but also what you have experienced, they are our white flag in the midst of the war that our thoughts produce, they are the palpable sign that you have been in deeper, but once you hit bottom the only thing left is to float.

The problem is that you become like an onion, with layer after layer, which you cover with dust and memories and you find yourself, you make a shell to protect yourself from pain, failure and promise yourself that you will not be hurt. never again for whatever happened.

But vulnerability is your most precious gift, because it is when you see yourself vulnerable that you can understand your pain, you can go to the depths of your wound and start there little by little, with great care to begin to heal. wounded but not broken.

You have to embrace the wounds, give them love, care, feel proud of them and understand that they are part of your history and that without them you would not have traveled the path you did, you would not be who you are today and that no matter how hard it may seem, the lessons are. who bring with them their greatest treasure.

What really heals wounds is what you do over time, it is when you choose to take responsibility for your emotions and decide to take risks, face the pain, no matter how much pain it causes, when you start to take care of your scars and understand why it happened. what happened, when you stop looking for explanations, because maybe the answers won’t come because you are asking the wrong questions, when you stop trying to change the past over and over again and start building a future that you want, when you let go of the past and with him the suffering that this causes, when you stop being his executioner and begin to become the protagonist of your own story; There, only there can you spread your wings and understand that you are free.
