rip it off.
a few weeks ago, i burned the back of my wrist on the oven. i'll admit, it hurt, but it was in no ways debilitating or reason enough to cry. last week, the scab had started to come up a little around the edges, but as a whole, was so not ready to come off.and then, on friday, just as i was about to leave work, i stretched my sleeves out over my hands and it got caught. and it came off. and it hurt like a banshee.
but it seems the intense pain was worth it, because i no longer have to worry about it coming off early and hurting. because it already did. i survived the pain and though i always knew i would, i dreaded the moment i would have to go through it. the worry was worse than the pain.
and now here's the profound part. aren't so many things in life just like that?
