[ life's a little easier when you learn to accept absurdity. that much is true, at least. ]
Yes. Though—I don't think it's that the wound closes, or that the hole ever fills? Time is... distance. Age.
[ it's not that memories heal, it's that you get older around them. like a tree growing new rings out instead of filling in hollow pockets of wood. some people grow slowly. some people rot out. ]
In my meager experience, "healing" is not how much pain you feel, but how often you feel it—expanding your life into new pools to spend less time in old ones. ...If you're constantly reminded of something, you can't be expected to find much peace from it, no matter how many years have passed.
