If you cut a tree open and look at the wood of the trunk there's these rings. Every ring counts as a year the tree has been alive, because every year the tree has to grow a thicker and better layer of bark to become stronger.
I feel as humans, we could be the same. Every time something tragic happens we have to grow a new layer of skin to keep on moving forward and protect ourselves.
The only thing I can't figure out, is how long does it take the layer of skin to grow?
It takes 7 years for our body to replace all its cells. Either I listen in science too much or I'm too content and lost in this world of staring new when I could easily just, do it.
Starting new isn't easy. You can't just say you're going to start new and do it. It's determination and all these other things thrown in this big mix.
But what happens if you don't have all the ingredients?
I had my first heart break almost 3 years ago, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about him or comparing or doing weird things like looking up his Facebook or thinking about him.
I've had 2 relationships after him, one, not serious and one that I'm in right now. Serious. I still talk to the other guy, but I feel like there's this huge baggage and regret when it comes to my first. I did, I fell in love with him and I thought we would stay together forever and everything would be perfect and fall in place.
But it didn't.
