damn you stupid splinter!!

Remember the time when you had a splinter in your finger and it hurts so bad. it hurts so bad you wouldn't dare take it out cause your finger hurts when you touch it. eventually you forget about it. the skin heals over the splinter and becomes embedded inside you. life goes on and you would think that it will never hurt again but there will be those few moments when you touch the part where the splinter is and it still hurts as much as the first time it went into your finger. the pain is as intense and as vivid as it was during the very first time and you regret for not have pulled out the splinter earlier and now that the skin has healed over it, you might never be able to pull it out again. you have to live with the occasional flood of pain at the tip of your finger. the only way to get it out now is to cut away the skin that healed and delve deep into the wound, pluck out that nasty bugger.

i'm experiencing my occasional metaphorical flood of pain.

somebody reminded me that the one who inflict the pain will not bother to pluck out the splinter, so i either let it continue to stay there and continue to experience the periodical hypes of intensity or pluck up the courage to remove it once and for all.

it sucks when matters are not resolved. it sucks even more when you know that it's bugging you so much and the one who inflicts the pain probably doesn't even give a hoot about it. well, afterall the splinter is in me so it'll probably hurt me more than it hurts the one who caused it upon me.
