I used to think 'healing' meant the pain went away completely, like erasing a file. Now I see it more like learning to live in a house that has a room you don't go into anymore. I thought healing was about fixing what was broken, like patching a hole in the wall. Now I realize it's more about accepting the blueprint, the original design, and finding a way to make peace with the fact that some walls are just…thin. I used to chase the summit, convinced that happiness lived at the top. Now I understand the value is in the climb itself, accepting the stumbles and the view from every altitude, even the ones I thought I'd outgrow.
