I think some things never completely heal. Like, if you have an injury, it might heal without a scar. Or with a scar (which is different tissue, that will react differently to sun light). Or with a bad scar that hurts you when the weather changes.


From my experience, what most people mean by healing is learning to live with the scars. Learn how to live with the judgement of others regarding them, the way it feels at different times, and how to look after ourselves to minimize the issues surrounding it. The balance of all these things is different from case to case, as far as I can tell.
