“Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up. But, maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up. Before we can step up”
In life, there will always be trauma cases. Sometimes, it can be so traumatic that it changes us 180degrees and it leaves scars. Reminding us that it was there, it will always be there. We feel the pain – the phantom pain, feeling all over again the sinking feeling of fear. And no matter how much we want not to be reminded by it, we know that deep inside, trauma is what needed for us to move forward. Running away from it will only allow it to haunt us every once in a while. To grow healthily is to embrace the past, the trauma, and to believe that we can survive the next big trauma.
My scars, I have many to show. But there is this particular one, I seem to be stuck with it, can’t seem to move forward from it. Sometimes, I feel I can’t breathe it and other days, I feel I can’t survive without it. It is always there.
I tried to overcome it, to face it or avoid it, but like a weak recovering addict, I fell back to it over and over again.
I can’t let go of it. Some parts of me don’t want to let go it. It was after all, the first time, I opened myself to it. You see, I’m a quiet person by nature. I don’t easily warm up to people or trust them. I don’t know why but I fear to allow them into my life, let them see the real me and fear that they will be disappointed of the real me and abandon me. But it makes such an impression on me, made me drawn to it. I was happy being with it. But it didn’t last long. Everyone has their own flaws and insecurities. And its flaws and insecurities reflected on mine. In the end, both of us got hurt and scars were formed. I am still suffering from the pain it caused me.
Now, I am carrying both the “happy times” and the scars. It was like…when love and hate collides. As much as I hate to admit it, I am still emotionally attached to it but for it, it is a different story already. I am really not the type that can let go of something I’m emotionally attached to it. I’m not strong that way. But I realized today, what I lost; I can never get it back…not for me. The scars were there to remind me of the hurts and that it can still hurts me in the future.
Part of moving forward is to realize that you need to move forward, and only you yourself must make the first step forward and never look back
I’m not sure why it always goes downhill
Like a broken cistern, never could stay filled
I’ve spent 10 years singing the gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky
Here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hopes and dreams I ever had are in doubts
I’ve spent 10 years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from the eyes
And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find the cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like You do
It will be a lie to run away
(Jon Foreman – Cure for Pain)
