WHAT'S LIFE WITHOUT SCARS?

 Hey I have been dealing with a mental block for a really long time. However, it turns out I just could not handle the details of my latest issue.

 

Life sucks right? If yes I know you’ve heard a couple of ‘it gets better with time.’I have a different approach to this though; it does not apply to the mass feelings around your heart. I saw a certain tweet in X “You know healing involves you knowing it still hurts a little bit.”

 

Just because it hurts a little bit doesn’t mean you are on a reverse gear on your healing process. That person or douche bag did you dirty and you have every right to be low-key mad and still move on with your life. I guess that’s why people say I forgive you but I wont ever forget what you did. In fact it puts you on a lucky spot of avoiding the same mistake.

 

You still think about your dead loved one and you cry, you have no need to panic. You miss them, they were your everything and part of your routine. You have every reason to still cry once in a while and let no one tell you the scale of how much time you have to deal with it even after years. Always remember the quotes in every funeral, ‘gone but not forgotten.’

 

Time only helps you know how to navigate through difficult memories. Like me, I turned to writing and blogging hoping one day someone will google something and know what he or she is feeling is a common feeling and embrace the journey of healing.

 

This week is an anniversary week to a very kind soul who was so close to me. There days when I’m okay but my heart breaks on anniversaries. This time I choose to buy my favourite ‘kuku’ and celebrate the fact that I’m ready for a fresh start. A start where I know healing involves feeling pain and what is life without a few scars?

 

Pray for me I’ll also pray for you. See you soon, God willing. Never forget though Viva!! We are pushing our country to a better place. Lots of love.
