“We are not meant to stay wounded.”
Caroline Myss
Many find it difficult to let go of their hurt.
In my younger days, I was like that.
All I did was make the pain worse.
I have learned to let go so my heart can heal.
It ain’t easy but it’s worth the work.
Do you stay wounded or
do you allow healing to happen?

A million dollar question if there ever was one. I try to heal but I’m so drastically sensitive sometimes the hurt throbs with no end in sight. I do know, by not letting it go, you’re the only one who truly suffers. The party that caused it unconsciously or otherwise doesn’t have a clue, and if they do, quite often than not, don’t care. The world in which we live in. sigh
I am pretty good at letting things go but that wasn’t always the case. It’s true that those who cause the hurt often don’t know or care. Makes me wonder how often am I the offender?
You’re so sensitive. I’m betting not all that often you offend. I sometimes if not pausing before speaking will say something I regret, so pausing is worth practicing. It’s that 5 second delay thing. Happy 4th.
You would lose that bet..there are folks that I know that would collect that bet from you!
I’m not so sure. You’re so kind and sensitive. You are. Look how you write.
Depends on the hurt. Some are easier to let go than others.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
I try to ask myself, will this matter in the long run? Does it deserve the attention it’s getting? We’re fragile creatures, even while putting up a good front.
True and sometimes you have to let go over and over until it’s finally really gone.
It’s a process so there is no easy answer but the sooner you let go of it the better you are.
Hear Hear!!!
I agree!
Sometimes it’s easier to stay wounded and angry. I often need some time to allow healing to set in.
It may be easier to stay wounded but not productive. Allowing time for healing is key.
