One of the greatest most wonderful most worth it things about living life and getting older is when you notice your healing. Anything from "woah, I thought that scar would never disappear, but now you wouldn't notice it unless I pointed it out" to "wow, when was the last time I grieved that relationship? It hardly even hurts anymore" to "I can't remember the last time I was lonely like I used to be when I was a teenager" etc. Handling something that a few years ago would have been so much more difficult. Being amazed by how resilient you are after all. You'll heal. You'll heal. You'll heal. You have happiness to look forward to on the other side.

#when i was a kid i had really severe eczema #for years the insides of my elbows would be torn and bloodied constantly from the scratching #my parents thought my skin would actually never recover and would be permanently damaged #but i healed completely. there's no evidence that that ever happened to me #my eczema isn't nearly as bad now that I'm an adult but I've had some ugly patches on my hands for about a year #and I just picked up medicine today #and i was thinking about how something I've lived with for a year will soon be gone without a trace #and the other day i was telling my partner how i haven't been desperately lonely in the last few years #and i used to feel that way all the time.#my knee doesn't bother me anymore from that snowboarding mishap #my wrist doesn't bother me nearly as much from that tweak i never got checked out #I've forgiven myself for that thing i felt shame about #and I've forgiven people i thought i could never forgive #getting older is so so so so great and so wonderful #worth sticking around for and worth looking forward to #I'm in my feels bc my birthday is coming up haha it always makes me feel reflective about things
