Some pain will come and go with time and other pain you learn to live with over time.
The depth of each pain is different.
The scratch:
This is the type of pain that hurt you and you'll live with it for a few days and watch it heal slowly as you tend to it and nurse the wound back to health. It will then scab up and when you are ready you can simply scratch it away and be done with it.
The flesh wound:
This pain, cut deep. Tears flowed heavily and the heart took a beating. The healing process is much longer and that wound will heal, but at any given moment, with any glimpse of a reminder, it will reopen and the same pain will return and sometimes much greater. It becomes a vicious cycle. You can still forgive the pain, but you will never forget.
The scar:
Caused by the deepest pain of all. You live with this pain every day. It weighs heavy on your mind, heart and soul. It broke you and the scar you bare is a constant, daily reminder of the pain. You won't move on from it and it seems as though you will never forget. This is the pain you learn to live with.
At one point in your life, you gather several of these, but the scars, those are the ones that you carry with you always. Never let your scars define you. Let them be reminders and life lessons. I carry my scars on my heart and every day I am learning to live with them. Some days are harder than others.
