as it can destroy the best efforts of the writer. Clearly, however, having a good eraser can be a blessing.
Mistakes happen. What I would have written when I was 21 is totally different from what I would write now. Experience makes a difference but it’s a nice analogy. I wish I could rewrite my mistakes as easily but I’m locked into history for that. I’m not sure it’s a blessing when I did what I did. Perhaps a guidance for things much later…
Yes. Feeling the pain might be better in many instances. But isn’t it doctor who always wants to knock us out as if we were afraid of pain?
You pose some interesting questions. I think the doctor wants our best health overall even if there’s some really bad doctors. I dig what your saying about pain. It can be transcendental. It can make you who you are etc.
It’s a curious thing making peace with our past. For me I couldn’t change much with hindsight because I was suffering from thought disorder. It was a revelation for me getting on the meds and sorting things out.
So. It’s not the pain I’m worried about. It’s the realising I was suffering from something that I couldn’t really control too much. That really bites me because it’s just wasted years for me with a dx at 29.
