This is beautifully written and extremely powerful; it has so much anger in it, as well as pain. It is true that time doesnt heal all wounds - the trick is to learn to live with what makes us what we are - to be strong, like scar tissue, at the broken places.

I truly believe that healing is possible for anyone; but I also wonder whether being healed is sometimes more of a threat than staying hurt

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. - Henry James
