If you keep the ghosts in the shadow they will keep haunting you...
My t once explained it to me in a way I won't forget... Whenever we get hurt, physically, there is a wound. The wound hurts like hell everytime you just so much as think about it... but with care and nurture, it slowly starts to heal and eventually all you have is a scar... The scar might still be sensitive sometimes, but it continues to get better... and someday, you barely remeber where the mark came from. It will always be there, but it won't always hurt as much... But for that to happen you need to deal with it... like resetting a broken bone that has grown on skew, you have to break it again, and align it etc... and often that hurts much more than when you broke it the first time...
Take good care of yourself fuzzy....
