We often hear that time heals all wounds.
Time
healsdoes not heal everything.
Healing or relief only comes when we stop expecting to stop feeling the pain and start learning to live with the pain that remains.
Memories are not erased by time. No matter how much time passes, sometimes there is not enough time for memories to be erased.
Time only allows us to learn to carry them in a different way.
Pain does not disappear with time... Time only helps us to let that pain control our day.
The past cannot be fixed by time.
Time does not change what happened... much less shape what will happen.
Time just exists.
It does not shape anything that has happened, is happening, or even what may happen.
Time helps make the past more bearable for us, and allows us to deal with it better. It will never change it.
Time alone does not bring closure or a conclusion. It gives you space to create your own closure. Time does not make you forget closures. It helps you remember yourself. Time does not remove pain; it reminds you that pain and progress can coexist.

Your reflections about time are very real and grounding. We often rely on the idea that time will magically erase hurt, but you point out something much wiser: healing comes when we learn to coexist with the pain rather than waiting for it to disappear. Time gives us room to breathe, to process, and to understand ourselves differently, but it never rewrites what we have lived through.
What you wrote also reminds us that closure is not delivered by the passing of days; it is something we work toward slowly, in our own way. The past remains part of us, and perhaps that is not a weakness but a reminder that growth and pain can exist together. Thank you for sharing such an honest and clear perspective on something many of us quietly struggle with.
That part about time not bringing closure but giving space to build it really hit. As someone who lives in numbers, things only settle when you reconcile them, time by itself won't balance the ledger. We carry the the pain, and with practice it stops running the day, even if the closuer never feels perfect :) I dont see this as cold or sad, more like a steady truth that leaves room for small wins.
