People say that Time heals all wounds.
I say they're all liars. Because nothing really heals. We just get better at hiding our pain from the people around us as time passes. We get better at hiding all that stuff from ourselves, too. Stuff we don't want to remember; stuff we want to forget – we hide 'em all. We conceal our pain and numb every other tender spot. Just because it takes away the ache. And even if it's just for a little awhile, we'll take it. Because a little while's better than none at all.
People say that Time heals all wounds.
I say, "Darn right, it does." Otherwise, it'd be a pretty sad life for us, don't you think? Collecting hurts, accumulating insults, and growing our backseat mount of painful memories as the years go by. Seeing the molehill we first started out with turn into a mountain before our very eyes. I can't live with the possibility of this being true. Because if it is, then it's pretty much a guarantee that we'll end up suffering all the way to our graves. Lugging nothing but our heavy bag of dampened spirits and many sorrows behind us.
Time has to heal all wounds. It has to.
Because if it doesn't, then I don't know
what Tomorrow's for anymore.

Time heals to a certain extent but it does leave a scar that would still ache from time to time.
Just try to looking at the positive in life and think less of the past.
I suddenly got this song in mind.
que sera, sera
whatever will be, will be
the future's not ours to see
que sera, sera
I agree.. Time does not heal a sheet.. In fact, it's not time, rather it's our thinking.. Our understanding and our guts to face reality..
We heal on our own.. We're like superheroes deep within..
Hmm.. but still ppl are trying to stop time from moving, or go back into the past.. These ppl are sick! They wanna repeat the pain/wounds or make it endless.. T_T
btw.. "Tomoro" is for us to dream about.. u cant reli reach "tomoro" without sleeping through it.. practically it wun be tomoro.. HEHEHE

– Technically, scars don't hurt. And since scars are actually healed hurts, does that mean that those of us who hurt were never healed?
And that song seems easier sung than done. =(

– I feel that the stuff I've been through in the past makes me stronger. But in bad ways. My heart is hardened. I am filled with doubt. I build sky-high emotional walls so that only those who bother enough to break through will ever see me and my vulnerabilities. And even then, there's a veil.
And yes. We're all superheros within.
scars sometimes do hurt. like those bigass scars you get from a deep wound?
and altho scars are healed wounds, they stick out like a sore thumb and remind us of what a bad experience we had.
ATTN: sheon
– I never had a big-ass scar. =p I was a good kid. So... I don't know if they hurt after healing. The physical scars I have no longer hurt. But they do remind me of what I've been through.
The rule doesn't seem to apply when it comes to emotional wounds though.
Shut me up if I’m being simplistic but it seems that when life throws crap at you there are two ways to react: to harden or to soften.
Either to become tough or to become hurt. To build a shell or to break apart. My instinct is to do the former, because it hurts way too much to feel the pain and be softened up. If someone rejects me I always have to cut them off, if I’m too vulnerable I want to withdraw, if someone mocks me I kick back worse. Normal I guess. And it works, in the short term at least. We dodge the bullets, we avoid the pain. Let me in that tortoise box! But in the long term you can find yourself thinking: why don't I feel the wind on my face?
So I reckon the toughest ones of all are the softies amongst us. And I find it very hard to be one of them. The ones that get hurt and rejected and do it all over again and each time they break open a little more, and like gobstoppers they go through all the colours until they’re lovely and chewy and sweet to the taste. I love them all. I aspire to that but I fail. They feel the wind on their face but also the rain, they don’t know the answers, they haven’t got anything sorted and they have a lot of sore spots but they just LIVE.
Quoted from Martin Usborne. Goodnight.
*awwwhh* Don't worry, i think I'm a "spiderman", coz "I climb walls" trying to "save" others.. ^_^
I've face some bad-ass situations too.. So it eases me to do so.. ^^
miss song,
every wound is not accidental, but a reminder of our past..
i have a friend who nicknamed herself spiky muffin. to the same extend of firewalling herself and doubting, there's a muffin within those spikes.
your blog is very interesting,la.
it contains all your emotions yet shows none of it. you are a good writer. I can only guess from the way you talk how you feel. oh well..
take it easy then spikes.
you'll be okay.
I lup it banyak banyak!!

– I think I harden as do you. Self preservation and all that. Plus, I don't exactly have time to break down then nurse my bruised ego back to health, then deal with my hurt feelings. No time. Need to get a move on. Hup! Hup!
"In the long term you can find yourself thinking: why don't I feel the wind on my face?
True. Sad but true. But at this point in time, I'm thinking, "I've gotta let Tomorrow take care of itself or I'll never make it past Today."
ATTN: Jeffro
– Eeyer. Means you like kissing upside down. =p
ATTN: a girl who could be a Jessica
– Haha.
"It contains all your emotions yet shows none of it.
It's the only way I can strike a balance between my private life and my public online persona. Gotta do it. Or else I'd end up not blogging for fear of people knowing everything, or blogging superficial stuff I wouldn't bother to read myself. =)

– ME TOOOO!!! I can't wait for Season 5.
time, or anything else, will not erase everything... that's why God gave us death...
ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Wah! So suicide message wan...
eh what suicide... have to wait for God to give it to us... can't just go seeking for it ourselves u know...
but wat u say is true... time heals some, but not all...
yea, No time for Down time. I had some bad relationship news in April and it was 2 weeks b4 exams. "No time for Down time", I told my consoling fren, who was consoling me. Get up and get go.
I always tell myself. These are me mottos:
(1) Live for tomorrow not today. &
(2) Grind it out, chris, grind it out. It works.
---------------------------
True. Sad but true. But at this point in time, I'm thinking, "I've gotta let Tomorrow take care of itself or I'll never make it past Today."
At that point u become soft again, not wholesomely softened up, but becoming less hard to some degree, relative to time.
ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Haha. You sounded like you damn emo ma. Haha.
I guess time helps reduce the pain. But it doesn't exactly take it away all the time. Of course it depends on how deep the scar is also lah. The closer people are to us, the more likely the hurts they cause us are deeper.
ATTN: Chris
– Haha. Me too! I've received lousy news the day before my finals man. But I was like, "To hell with it lah. I need to focus on something else that's more important right now." And the mind is amazing with things like this. Mind over matter.
Hokkien says: "Yah eh Ki; Pang eh Lok!"......Ban Ban Lai la....=)

LOL.. potong steam la.. =.="
let me dream for a while more la..
now dream pun tadak..
i guess we tend to hide better and we thought we have healed. But if you really look inside your heart, search for that ONE spot that hurt the most, touch it, and it still hurts. It is always there, it's just where we put our focus on that has changed.

– Welcome to reality. Please remove all cotton candy from hair and wipe off all face paint.
Nooses are in that bucket on the left while chainsaws are in that bucket on the right. We'd appreciate it if you opted for the former though. Chainsaw clean ups are a pain.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
ATTN: Ping Ping
– That's so true. You should find this song called "The Heart Never Forgets" by LeAnn Rimes. It's one of her older tracks. It's BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it. And it says exactly what you said just now. =)
p/s: I think it's in my archives somewhere, too.
I prefer to wake up from my bed, straight to the washroom, clean up and live my day normally.. That way, no mess.. Kekekeke
ATTN: Jeffro
– Dang. Then you're boring. My way was so much more interesting. =p
LOL! So now it's boring, huh? Your way involves way too many sharp things.. Mama said never to play around with sharp things, never know when they might hurt me.. LOL!
ATTN: Jeffro
– No no... mummy say dun play with FIRE. Not sharp things. She's okay with sharp things. I'm pretty sure of it. =p
LOL! Then why my mummy snatch my parang away? I was only going to get a SLICE of cake.. Not like I'm gonna SLICE anyone..
ATTN: Jeffro
– That's because she knows you're lying. She knows that there's evil dwelling in you. Evil that's dying to come out.
Nyek nyek nyek.
LOL.. my mum can read mind.. That's most reasonable thing.. But I swear I wasn't gonna SLICE up that dude that took my chocolate away.. I was just gonna get a SLICE of RED apple cake.. ^_^
