dealing with an itch takes more energy than people give it credit for.

whether it’s an internal or external one.

an internal itch can feel like:

unmet goals

personal needs

open loops or tasks

external itches can be easier to understand, like:

physical pain

chronic discomfort

sensations or conditions

trying to soothe either can feel like an uphill battle.

especially when you’re still experiencing the actual discomfort of said itch.

i think all of us have itches from time to time.

i think a lot of us have itches all the time.

a lot of stuff can make us itchy.

and dealing with an unscratched itch can be very distracting.

not everyone has the ability to scratch their itches, though.

imagine how many people right in this moment are dealing with chicken pox, pain, or an unmet thirst.

imagine how many people right in this moment are dealing with emotional pain, the loss of of a loved one, or bills they don’t know how they’ll pay.

the lesson isn’t always about the right way to scratch, but just learning how to live with an itch.
