Life seems to be an endless series of receiving and recovering from wounds. This is not a cynical observation! Often, our scars become the best parts of ourselves. While it is perfectly honorable to retreat and recover for a moment—everyone needs to be able to catch their breath—we have to move forward. Our wounds and scars are part of us, but they’re not all of us: do not move into your wound. Let it heal. Help it heal. Understand it, and learn how to avoid similar wounds in the future, but do not set up residence in that bloody, pus-filled gash. Don’t keep picking at it. Don’t keep cutting it back open.
