Heal
Sometimes it takes a few well-made incisions to heal.
Sometimes another cut is what it takes.
Sometimes we need to be broken again in order to set the bone.
Healing is not symmetrical. It is never uniform, never all at once, and rarely easy.
And some wounds, they never heal. Few will admit it. They prefer the myth of the healing clock. Don’t be like them.
Don’t wait on time to fix you. You will bleed to death if you wait.
Apply pressure. Send up a flare. Stay conscious. Hold on to awareness, and listen to your pain.
It asks only this: that you acknowledge what is happening, and that you give yourself what you need.
Help may or may not be coming. In the meantime, take care of yourself and surrender to the rough work of healing.
