I have been re-thinking the whole "Time heals all wounds" thing we hear during difficult times. I don't thing time has anything to do with it. I think it ultimately has a lot more to do with what we actually "do" during the space we call time. Time is passive. If we just decided to do things sooner, rather than wait and wallow in our own hot mess we wouldn't rely on the circular incessant passing of two hands of time to somehow miraculously solve our problems.
Because if you believe that feeling better is simply a matter of time, and not within your own ability to control, you will eventually give up hope of happiness because it has failed to ‘arrive’.Is it time's fault we carry resentment for years? No, that is on us.....I believe that time doesn't heal us at all... Growth does.
"The light at the end of the tunnel isn't the illusion. The tunnel is." --Unknown
When you take an active part in your healing, rather than simply wait, the sooner the proverbial tunnel shrinks and the quicker you reach the light at the end.
So...what to do? Wait..... maybe something will change on its own... maybe we should continue nursing dissatisfaction in our souls because we are justified and it feels good....
or we can grow up and become that person that beckons to us inside.... the one that we see when we close our eyes... the one that is just a bit better than we are today, the one that fills us with emotion and inspiration... Yes... let's do it. Let's grow up together and reach for that light today! Don't let time haunt you any more.... it is a thief if you let it be.
