Nature and Cure of the Scar

At a place where all I had were pieces, I decided to take time to feel the nature of every piece, familiarizing myself with the texture, magnitude and potential position in the puzzle. The first facets of confidence and identity were smooth, quite manageable. This may have been owed to the fact that I understood it mentally but didn’t really strain it to see it’s sustainability, or, simply because it was one of those “cute” parts that are easily implemented. Whatever the reason may have been, the truth is, not all the pieces were “light.” I got to the pieces that were crude and because of this rough character, I got cut.

The pain stung, more so because it came after the sunshine. Wanting to stay true to the mantra of progressiveness, I wanted to quickly bandage it and continue with the process but I soon learned just how disastrous it would be.

I needed to find the balance between staying in touch with my feelings but not staying in the ditch of wallowing (rolling in self-pity/pain).

There was no manual that came with the timeline for grasping the impacts of the setback but at this point the fear of getting back in the run was real. Major comebacks are advocated for but many of us sit back because we’re not sure of when to get back in the ring. If one finds themselves at such a station, it is important that they remove the bandage they had placed to temporarily stop the oozing of blood.

This enables you to really examine the depth of the wound. Understand just how hurt you are in order for you to be able to treat the wound accordingly. Treating the wound at arm’s length is alright for the first few hours but if you want long term change then you have to dig deep into it. Be willing to see the bone and apply the remedy that may at that time feel excruciating but be effective.

Once you’ve truly acquainted yourself with what you’re dealing with, you’re better able to consciously progress. That in my fair opinion marks the end of the conceptualizing period of the cut and allows one to now make that comeback.

One is most likely to experience “cuts” as they carry out the process but that should not discourage them from journeying. Take that leap of faith and explore life’s vital concepts. You may take some time at Malta~ the place of healing from the obstacles but your story doesn’t end there, you still have to get to Rome ~the destination.

Note:

Cut~ metaphor for betrayals, disappointments, failures …….

The Journey~ a representation of understanding different notions such as friendships, identity, confidence, purpose etc

Much love and blessings your way
