permanent reminders

i promise. my word is one you can trust, my dear friend. you are loved and nothing is your fault. in all the madness, at least you can be sure of at least that much. what's strange is that we realize when we feel immense pain, but we don't realize the slow process of healing. the bandages fall off, and there are indeed scars, serving as permanent reminders. a warning to those in the future and to yourself to handle with care.

you can only get better, you have no choice. it's the only way your body knows how to react to pain...you just have to succumb to healing.
