it's time of the month again

"inevitably, all pain is about longing for yesterday - whatever we had before,
whatever we used to be. but when pain doesnt go away fast enough, we criticize
ourselves for not getting over it, for not being strong enough, or even for
being vulnerable in the first place. thats not how wounds heal. they dont obey
our wishes. healing takes place in its own way and in its own time."
