Scars

Life events are things that aren't things you can forget.
Painful past experiences somehow leave a deeper scar.
But so does every other events, they leave a mark somewhere in your memory.
They can't be erased. You live with it for the rest of your life.

So what does it mean when people say they're Over something?
It simply meant you got over that particular event, that it
does not hurt like it used to.
You are able to talk freely without getting emotional.

That's getting over something.

But like I said earlier, these memories aren't erased.
Some point in life later, you can still find yourself recalling the moments
when you heard songs, saw things, go to places that reminded you of the past.
You find that you're still able to recollect those memories.
In full detail.

The difference now is that, past events were already in the past.
At that point of time, there are things to be told, things to clear before you can move on.
Not everyone can practise this, and they rather leave it in the dark, or chose not to deal with it.
Time can tell a story.
Time can heal alot of pain.

But if you choose to avoid, it's never going to solve itself.
