Does Rubbing Salt in an Open Wound Hurt Or Heal?

I feel as if I am running out of steam here so here goes nothing I’m going to give it my all for tonight and hopefully it’s good enough. Once again if there is anybody who has been following my story you can well figure that the final, final, final blow has hit. This relationship is dead. Gone, over, finished and complete. The details aren’t even clear and I cannot get an answer as to what has gone wrong I just know that he has publicly declared its over before even telling me. I feel broken and relieved at the same time and this switching of moods is not comforting.
Extracting someone from your life is not exactly a simple process, and its common to say “don’t rub salt in a open wound”. But as I learned earlier this year when I had my nose pierced that sea salt is used to heal wounds. So metaphorically maybe if I let myself get over this and not stop the process, letting the “salt” in will heal me. I really don’t have much more to say at this point and I’m feeling kind of quiet. As my perspective shifts I will have more to offer to myself and everyone else. Take care everybody!
