Seen on Pueblo’s Facebook. I thought a lot of us could benefit from seeing this. Because it’s very true. Healing is not forgetting or “getting over it”. It is learning to live and cope with things.

The words on the page read:

“throw away the idea
that healing is forgetting

the real result is no longer
reacting to old triggers
with the same intensity as before

the memories are still there,
but they do not have the
same power over your mind”
