I'm late for a very important date

I used to think that 'time heals all wounds' was a load of bull. I get that in physical terms its true. You break a bone it needs time to heal, you get a tattoo the skin needs time to heal from what it went through, but when it came to the wounds of the heart I wasn't entirely sure that it was true, turns out it is. I've realised just how important time can be. The more and more months that come between me and everything that happened the better I feel.
My confidence has started to return, my self-esteem is no longer in my shoes, my desire to achieve and succeed is back. Basically the person I used to be has started to come back and this took time. Sure it also took guts, determination and sheer balls, but time played a massive part. There were some pretty shitty setbacks but I survived and time has also proved this to me, no matter what happens I have the strength to handle it.
I see now how time helps. The futhur you get from a tramatic event or bad experience the easier it gets to face it or eventually even to laugh about it.
About a month ago I dated a guy for a couple of weeks. He didn't stop going on about how much he liked me, how he saw a future with me and how he couldn't stop thinking about me. Then it stopped and he was being a dickhead to me and acting weird. I couldn't get my head around why he was acting the way he was and I was pretty pissed off and weirded out. He had left his favourite hoodie at my place and I contemplated a whole load of revenge towards that hoodie.
Ended up doing nothing but leaving it in a heap at the bottom of my wardrobe and now I'm really glad I did. Thats cause of time, because time has made it so that it doesn't hurt anymore and in fact I can laugh at the fact that he is still apparently interested and I've moved on. I could totally give him his hoodie back in one piece now, but only if he comes begging for it cause that would be quite entertaining!

Basically time means being able to look back on something, instead of being right in the middle of it and looking back on something means being able to see the situation clearly for what it was. Now if only I could work out someway to do this when in the present I'd be set.
