We’ve all heard that golden oldie: “Time heals all wounds.”
Let’s be freaking real! Time can be a terrible therapist. It ghosted me when I needed it most, gave me the silent treatment for years, and still never reimbursed me for the emotional labor. 😤
What actually happens is this:
You get used to the pain.
You build scar tissue.
You learn how to keep walking, even when your soul’s got a limp.
And here’s the mind-bender:
What if healing isn’t about “fixing” the wound…
What if the wound is the wisdom? 🤔

The Wound as a Portal 🕳️🦋
In nearly every mystical tradition, from Sufism to Jungian psychology, wounds aren’t seen as flaws.
They are initiation points.
The place where it hurts the most is also where the light can break in. It’s where compassion is born. Where humility sneaks in and sits at your table. It’s where your ego finally shuts up long enough for your soul to say something.
You don’t “get over” grief, betrayal, or the ache of a life that didn’t go according to plan.
You become someone new because of it.

Time Doesn’t Heal, But It Does Reveal 🕰️
Time exposes who you are underneath the survival tactics.
It peels you back, season by season, and offers the uncomfortable invitation:
“Do you want to alchemize this… or anesthetize it?”
It’s why some people stay bitter for 20 years while others become wise in 2.
Time only works if you do.

Bleeding Better Looks Like This:
Crying in the garden but still planting tomatoes
Telling your story without shrinking it to make others comfortable
Holding joy and pain in the same breath
Becoming the person you needed when it all went down

So Here’s the Real Wisdom:
You might not ever “heal” in the way you once imagined.
But you will rise.
And the rise doesn’t come in spite of the wound —
It comes through it.
Let that blow your mind and stitch up your heart at the same time. 🧠🩹❤️🔥
