Time Heals All Wounds

Dear friends,

There's a saying that time heals all wounds. It's only true if you actually treat the wound properly.
Imagine that you've sliced your hand, and now there's a huge gash. If you left it open without cleaning it or covering it, it would become infected and become much worse. It's only after you've taken the time and the steps to ensure the wound closes safely that it is able to begin the healing process.

Your heart is the same way. If you don't take the time and put forth the energy to help your broken heart mend, all of the pain you feel will continue and you will become infected with bitterness and hate.

I know first hand what it is like to hold on too long and allow my broken heart to turn me into the thing that I hate. It's so much harder trying to get rid of that infection than it would have been to prevent it in the first place.

No one likes pouring the peroxide on their open wound, sometimes you just have to kill the germs that lead to infection.

Anyway...
