Fresh Cut Wound

This piece of writing was a bit of a struggle because it can be quite difficult putting a world of emotions into words. Lately, or for a while I have been feeling like I am on a rollercoaster. I have my real good cloud seeking highs, but I also have my deep in the root lows. I call my lows, fresh cut wounds.

I call my lows fresh cut wounds because of the pain that comes with it. In a way I feel hurt, sometimes sick. The wounds are not always caused by current events, but past events that I seem to still have some attachment to. I will have days, weeks, months that I can go without thinking about negative past events, and then one day they return. I all of a sudden find myself with a fresh cut wound, similar to the one I may have had in the past.

So, something I have learned is I am more likely to always remember certain events in my life, no matter how far I would like to run away from them. Therefore, I have decided to heal my fresh cut wounds by acknowledging the pain it has caused. I ask myself more questions about why certain events took a toll on me the way they did. I consider my feelings and how I will handle things moving forward that are specifically healthy for my well-being. I have learned that if I can’t run away from my problems, make friends with them. In other words, acknowledge that that was then and this is now. It’s like two of the same people: Then and Now. Why can’t Then and Now hold hands as they work to meet Future? In life we live and we learn and when the time comes that you have a fresh cut wound, remember that this is a time to take advantage of how you can properly aid and heal that wound without it reopening the same pain.
