[Had to write about a band-aid for an in-class writing exercise.
This is what I came up with.]
Throughout life, we get hurt emotionally just about as much as we get hurt physically. There are those minimal injuries that will mend with a band-aid and just a bit of time. Some need a bit of help from some aspirin to ease the pain or maybe antibacterial spray to stop a possible infection to the rest of our sanity, or even a bit of Neurosporin or some other Scar-Be-Gone product to forget that we were ever injured. A band-aid provides us with a barrier to protect the injury so we don’t make it worse. This is the barrier we put up when we are trying to have an emotional injury healed. We don’t even regard what happened to us. We continue our daily lives. Trying to forget that injury.Get distracted. But sometimes that barrier peels down a bit while we’re distracted. No worries though. Remember the other things we have to heal our wound? These are the people that love us, the people around us the things we love to do that distract us, the hope they provide. It might take a while, but things will get better. Wounds do heal. Eventually if taken care of.
