Time Don't Heal, Your Effort Does! HoL126
Humans of Lagos
"I've relocated more than three times, moving within cities before arriving Lagos; yet like a shadow with a hollow, pain from the past sticks to my gut.
My struggle continues within Lagos, where I've unrelentingly moved from one place to another like six times. Still my old self clings to me like an infant to a mother's breast.
I thought time heals wound. But it's a lie, time doesn't heal any wound. It only allows you live with the pain.
Bibitayo, my counselor sees time as an illusion in healing.That, what heals our pain is building resilient and strength through the vulnerability we go through with time .
Perhaps.
I now know that leaving the country without consciously healing my pain and trauma will only make them follow me like a plague wherever I go.
Time may not heal this pain but my effort will, with time."
