Some Take More Time

Hello, my name is Maile, and I am a slow healer. Ha. Sometimes it takes me years, a little progress, then I digress big time. I am a Cancerian, what can I say. We are just one big walking emotion, we wear our hearts on our sleeves, and although we seem strong, there is warm softness underneath that is vulnerable and bleeds at any given moment. I take a long time to come around. Sometimes it takes replacing him with another who truly moves me, sometimes it takes a bright burst of clarity, realization of something I probably knew all along but denied and pushed down, hanging onto to something that was wrong, unhealthy and simply unattainable. Healing cannot be forced or given a deadline, it just happens, one day *poof* it's over, never completely forgotten but a whole lot is forgiven.
