Make peace with yourself

Until you heal the wounds of your past,
you are going to bleed.

You can bandage the bleeding with food,
with alcohol,
with drugs,
with work,
with cigarettes,
with sex.

But, eventually,
it will all ooze through
and stain your life.

You must find the strength
to open the wounds.
Stick your hand inside,
pull out the core of the pain
that is holding you in your past,
the memories

And make peace with them,
make peace with yourself.
