Time heals?

It takes a lot of courage to make the decision to ‘delete’ a person you love dearly, and the process is extremely difficult and painful.

I hope it’s true that “time heals”.

There are things that you might never get over with. Like once upon a time a closer friend of mine told me she finds me ‘fake’. It has been about 12 years since she made that statement, and I still can’t get over it.

In my life, there are many incidents when I am easily hurt by words and incidents deeply. When I am knocked down, I can stand up easily in front of others, but I can’t to the ones that knocked me down.

A friend of mine once told me “Why care? They were the ones who gave you up. It’s pointless brooding over them and this matter, crying and getting yourself hurt.” How I wish I can behave that suavely with that “heck care” attitude.

I came to realise it’s really important to love and protect yourself. Like what another friend of mine said “Only you know what’s best for you. Don’t force yourself to accommodate or do things you don’t feel like, it might turn out causing more detrimental injuries to yourself.”

Thus, I choose to avoid or ignore, to protect myself.

Time can heal your attitude in seeing that person, but for my case, it seemed that it’s difficult for time to heal the scar in me caused by the statements or actions of the person.
