A Life with Unhealable Wounds
It all started a few years ago. I was just living life as normal, doing what I loved and feeling the joys of everyday life. But one day, out of the blue, I was hit with the most unbearable pain. It felt like someone had taken a sharp knife and ripped open my skin and organs. The physical and emotional anguish I felt was unlike anything I had ever experienced.
I soon realized that this was not a physical pain I was feeling but an emotional one that I would have to endure forever. This emotional pain had come to stay, it was something that I would never be able to heal.
In my darkest hours, when my soul seemed too wounded to even bear, I tried to find solace in understanding that my suffering could serve a greater purpose. I started to find comfort in the knowledge that my pain and struggles had made me into a more compassionate, understanding, and stronger person.
It was this understanding that made me realize that the best thing I could do was to take the knowledge and wisdom I had gained from my struggles and share it with others. So, I started blogging, I began talking to my friends, family, and other strangers, about my experience and about the pain of carrying unhealable wounds.
As I write and talk about my struggles, I take a bit of comfort in the fact that I am not alone. That the pain and heartache that I am enduring are ones that others can relate to and ones that, if shared, could be used to provide comfort and support to others who have had to carry a similar burden.
Though the unhealable wounds will remain, I will carry on and work towards creating a brighter future with every step. It may not be a future where I can ever feel fully healed, but it will be one where I can finally let go of the weight that has been dragging me down and find peace within my wounds.
