Band-aids. Band-aids cover wounds. Band-aids do not heal wounds, but they may have the affect to take the pain away temporarily. Out of sight out of mind kind of mentality.
I am stuck on band-aids... I try to find all of the things I can to temporarily cover the wounds. I try to find band-aids big enough or significant enough to give me the out of sight of mind mentality. First, it was job hunting, that was a big band-aid. Then I found a job, so that band-aid was removed. When a band-aid is removed, the pain can sometimes be worse. Like you forgot that it was there until the band-aid was ripped off, fresh oxygen hitting the wound, and making you double over in pain, or elephant tears fill your eyes. My next band-aid was RC. More like gauze wrapping than a band-aid though. Wrapped tightly around the wound, but containing holes to let the oxygen though. Band-aid three: end of summer for Coby and all the back to school activities. Band-aid four: graduation. Band-aid five: back to work.
Now, my medicine cabinet is empty, the band-aids are gone, and I didn't use triple antibiotic ointment, so the wound is not yet healed.
So a band-aid covers, hurts when removed, and doesn't heal. I must ask then, what is the point of them, and why am I stuck on them?
