A Band-Aid will help heal.
And we know it will for real.
But one must not keep picking at it.
For if you do it will not permit.
For the healing to finally begin.
For you see that must start from within.
One must realize in time when it will take more.
And the band- aid is not responsible for.
That wound that can not begin heal.
For they must open there eyes and see what is real.

Lex, my friend with whom I rarely have an opportunity to speak...

I truly hope that you may find some type of process that helps you... although you are hilarious individual... all joking aside...

In my life as an adult, I have had several conversations in regards to retaining pictures and such, moreover, why the person on the other end of the conversation believed that one should keep those "parts of your life"...

For me... I cannot keep such reminders of that kind of deep hurt... the kind that disturbs to the core... especially early on after a split... I am much more comfortable without the pictures... I believe that my healing process was stifled by such reminders... it seems that all I could remember was the pain of the loss... and pictures did NOT help me...AT ALL

May you find peace within, my friend
