Trying Like Hell To Heal

Communication

It’s the first thing we really learn in life.

Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words, and really start talking – the harder it becomes to know what to say, or to ask for what we really need.

Some things we just don’t want to hear.

Some things we say because we just can’t be silent anymore.

Some things are more than what you say, they’re what you do.

Some things you say because there’s no other choice.

And some things… you keep to yourself.

As a medical professional, I am trained to look for disease. Sometimes, the problem is easily detected. Most of the time, you need to go step-by-step: first, probing the surface looking for any sign of trouble – a mole, a lesion, or an unwelcome lump. Most of the time, you can’t tell what’s wrong with somebody just by looking at them… after all, they can look perfectly fine on the outside, while their insides tell you a whole other story.

Not all wounds are superficial; most wounds run deeper than we can imagine, you can’t see them with the naked eye.

And then, there are the wounds that take us by surprise.

The trick with any kind of wound or disease is to dig down and find the real source of injury… and once you’ve found it – try like hell to heal that sucker, and say what you need to say.
