Healing

Not long ago, I had accidentally cut my finger. It bled, and it hurt. Every little movement was marked with pain. Every touch tugged at somewhere deep inside.

I tried to put a band-aid over it, so as to avoid contact. But it turned out to be an inconvenience. And it didn't let the wound heal.

Soon I took the courage to remove the band-aid, to let it brave the pain.

Now, it is healing. New skin is gradually taking over the scab, and the hints of the hurt began to fall away.

Will it scar? I'm not sure. But even if it does, it'll hopefully serve as a helpful reminder for next time. A reminder to be more careful, to do things a different way.
