Stir

Work yourself into a froth; really get in there with a spatula or other emotional crutch and stir. It's not a wound if you're not picking at it, right? Scabs are the only indication that you're feeling something.

Don't forget to get riled up; really go to town with a flag or other emotional crutch and stir. It's not a scab if you don't peel it off, right? Fresh sores are the only indication that you're feeling something.

Please make sure to exaggerate; really lose touch with a tombstone or other emotional crutch and stir. It's not a scar if you don't constantly remember it right? Puckered flesh is the only indication that you're still feeling something.
