A reply to 2010 is about 2009

"When the wound you know time has healed hurts, were you wrong thinking that it has healed?"

That's a quote from the post I made last January. I remember telling that I shall find the significance of an ugly, painful scar. My post sounded that I was so sure of finding it this year. And indeed, midway 2010, I found it so as this year approaches its end, I am making sure that I create a post in reply to that I made in January.

First and foremost, I thought it has become a scar. That wound was received such a long time ago that it's actually normal for people to think it's already a scar. Apparently, it wasn't. And it still isn't.

Second, that's not only what I learned this year. I also learned why it hasn't healed yet. That's because no one catalyzes the healing because, hello? Self-healing takes an awful long time. Sometimes the wound even ends up getting stabbed

Finally, I've made my answer to the question, "Why do you keep holding on?" Because there's something holding me back. I can't let go of that hand either. Because I'm scared of falling into that bottomless pit below.

P.S.

Congratulations, anonymous, for being the lucky winner!

What happens after time has healed the wounds?

-I think you can't consider it healed if you still feel so much pain and trauma about it.
