“Time doesn't heal all wounds, only distance can lessen the sting of them.” - Shannon L. Alder

Decryption of quote

Time doesn't heal all wounds, only distance can lessen the sting of them.

Imagine a wound, fresh and raw, causing you pain and discomfort. You may think that with time, the wound will magically heal on its own. But the truth is, time alone is not enough to heal the deepest wounds of the heart and soul.

It is only when we create distance from the source of our pain that we can begin to truly heal. Distance allows us to gain perspective, to see things from a different angle, and to let go of the hurt that once consumed us.

When we distance ourselves from the past, we give ourselves the opportunity to grow and evolve. We can learn from our experiences, find strength in our resilience, and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.

Distance doesn't mean forgetting or ignoring our pain. It means acknowledging it, accepting it, and then releasing it. It means letting go of the negative emotions that hold us back and embracing the possibility of a brighter future.

As we create distance from our wounds, we allow ourselves to heal in a way that time alone could never achieve. We give ourselves the gift of forgiveness, of self-love, and of inner peace.

So remember, time may pass, but it is the distance we create from our pain that truly allows us to heal. It is in letting go of the past that we can embrace the beauty of the present and the promise of tomorrow.

Embrace the power of distance, and watch as the sting of your wounds lessens, and the light of healing shines through.
