Midnight Toughts: A Passage on Healing(Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone)

"Wounds and Scars"

The theme:

While you were on this world, you've probably been hurt before. I mean, who doesn’t every once in a while? The feelings of agony and the desperate need to crawl back to where you were before your wounds—it's a subconscious action we take every time we feel harmed. We take those wounds as life's cruelty. But perhaps it's just life being life?

The matter:

How strange is it that humans have a similar reaction to change in our default form? In addition, we also have a strong desire for comfort. You can obviously change how you react to change. But the thing is it's up to you and you only.

While the unknown tries to hunt the soul, the mind tries to run back to where it was before—all the way back to the beginning. It flies toward the familiarity of life, to things you have somehow experienced before. But the stories you seek, simply because you have memorized them—have they ever done you any good?

The analyzation:

There's a quote from one of my favorite TV shows that I like to analyze on a daily basis.

"They say the passage of time will heal all wounds... But the greater the loss, the deeper the cut and the more difficult to process to become whole again. The pain may fade but the scars serve as a reminder of our suffering." - The Originals

With time, the healing process progresses, but do you think healing means going back to where you were before it all happened? Do you think the healed version of the soul is the same as it was before the wound?

Getting the wound might be considered the unknown, but do we have to know everything? Wounds fading into scars may be something new, but why would we want to return to a past where the present was once unknown?

When we realize that we will never be the same as we were before and when we understand that we can't even grasp the present moment—because the past, present, and future are happening at the same time—we might feel a little better. After all, saying 'I can't control it' is all about perspective. You can either cry about it, as you’ve (as we all have) done before, or you can just choose to laugh about it. When you understand that it's okay to care but that some things should be left in the past after a while, you'll find the ultimate exit from your comfort zone into the real world.

The lesson:

I'd like to finish this little epiphany with something I wrote weeks ago, which gave me the idea of writing this one.

People say, 'After you get a temporary wound, you are guaranteed to have a permanent scar afterward.' Everyone agrees with the phrase, 'You'll heal, but it will never be the same as it was.' But why would you want it to be as it was? Why would you want to go back to the same?

You were never supposed to, thats the beauty of it.

Hiii everyone!! This is my first blog that I've ever written (this was so out of my comfort zone to write. That's why I chose this topic ;) So because I'm new here I'm open to recommendations on what to write :)
