#First Aid

Emotional first aid is like a band-aid slapped on the superficial scrape of the heart. It grants the right to wail at the top of your lungs, then the next day feign serenity as if nothing happened. Instead of confronting the underlying cause, it offers a makeshift sense of relief, leaving minute scars in the deep psyche. The basic tactics include wolfing down chocolate under the guise of stress relief and binge-watching cat videos on your phone.

First aid is a makeshift medical performance that patches the gap between pain and time. It temporarily suppresses the victim’s agony and merely bridges to genuine treatment. Behind the scenes with gauze and disinfectant, countless individuals wander the border of reassurance and anxiety. With pride, they wrap bandages while desperately trying to conceal their fragility.
