I came across this at a forum...
Although life breaks us all, some of us manage to become "Strong at the broken places." This happens naturally if an emotional wound has the right conditions to heal. People who are lucky enough to inhabit emotionally safe environments start mending almost as soon as their injuries occur. the rest of us don't improve so quickly. We were hurt on emotional battlefields where there wasn't even a safe place to rest, let alone anyone skilled enough to administer firsts aid. So we patched our wounds as best we could and battled on, still bleeding, still carrying shrapnel in our souls.
I don't think I have read truer words. When we are hurt, sometimes we have a choice to knock the right doors and submit ourselves to people who can heal us, protect us and care for us. Some of us don't take up that choice, some of us can't and others are rejected. Then there are ones who completely and truly are left alone when the people who catch them when they fall leave.
A telephone call that was never made, a text still lying in the drafts section, a missed call, old greeting cards, incomplete conversations, a gift purchased but never delivered- that's what life is made of.
