Sometimes when something unpleasant happens, I tend to convince myself that I'm alright and I'm not affected.
However, I then realised, the more I try to convince myself that I'm alright; I'm not.
The more I try to convince myself that I'm not affected; I'm very affected.
The more I try to deny it's presence, its always there.
The more I harp on it, the more I'm hurt.
Self-convincing, I find, is just another form of self deception... another form of escapism.
(So what else is new?)
The best way is letting go.
Well, its easier said than done.
I find it hard to let go... don't you?
Time is definitely the best remedy.
Yes it will heal the wound, soothe the pain.
Now the question is... Do I have the patience for time to take effect?
