3 Harsh Truths About Pain and Healing It
You may not have caused your pain, but it’s in your hands
1. This is Your Lesson
Life can be sweet but it isn’t always cupcakes with sprinkles. Life is painful.
Painful things happen that break us. Certain things change us and we’re just never the same. We lose someone we loved, and the glass is shattered. We get fired from a job we depended on and we’re lost. We get into a devastating car crash that takes a major toll on our finances.
Life can be brutal.
These things happen and sometimes take us further away from our true selves. The once happy and bright girl gets cold and distant. The boy who had a lot to look forward to gets heartbroken and swears never to open the door.
We try to shield ourselves from life, and we only end up missing out on life.
Life hurts so badly.
It’s easier dealing with the hurt feelings when there’s someone or something to blame. It’s a little easier to cope with those intense feelings because we’re redirecting instead of really feeling it. It feels a little better when we point a finger.
