boo boos

while watching 'burn after reading', i can't help but get distracted by the burning of my hands. i've got these boo boos courtesy of hand washing my laundry. i'm not so sure whether it was because of the not-so-mild detergent or simply because of the three-weeks-worth-laundry-of-two-people-and-a-couple-of-guests which by the way included towels. dirty laundry can really hurt. it'll hurt my pocket if i send them to the laundromat (it's not much to save, not that i really intend to save it). but it sure hurts like hell when i did it myself (i have the time anyway, so might as well make the most of it doing something worthwhile instead of just stalking friends in facebook). except for the boo boos, i'd say it was an enjoyable chore.

but this burning sensation from the cuts made me realize something. these cuts will soon heal and i probably won't remember what it felt like. i wouldn't even see a reminder that there used to be cuts in my hands. this goes to show that not all boo boos, cuts, wounds leave scars. but still there are those who'll leave us scars and will be constant reminders of the pain. we may not remember how it felt like, but we'll be reminded that we once were hurt. so let's all be careful before doing something. if we know that doing this something will hurt us one way or another, then let's think twice, better thrice, best if we ponder on it a zillion times. doing this something may be the outright solution of our predicament, but still proper timing is imperative. we can't allow the selfish-mean-brat inside of us to do the bulk of the decision making 'coz we sure know that that-selfish-mean-brat's only concern is what will make him/her happy NOW. there's always the right time for everything.

so glad we were able to figure out something that will work. we can do it. i know we can. it'll just take a few sacrifices but i know it'll be worth it. let's take things one at a time. as it is often said: slowly but surely!
