scabs

so when do you know to stop picking at a scab and to start letting it heal fully? i've been wondering this lately... we all have our issues that we need to deal with to get to the healing stages. some days, i feel like the healing process, though slow, has been going well, and i think i've been set free from those things. but other days, whether its me who itches to pick at it, or someone else picking hard, the scab gets picked open again.

when can i just say "enough! time to move on?"
