I find myself asking that question very frequently as of late….
So, what is the purpose of pain? I’ve still yet to decide…. I think pain is put into our lives so that we can learn… People learn best when things hurt, it’s like a survival mechanism. Pain is important because it reminds us that we’re still alive, we’re still kicking, and as long as we’re still alive and kicking, we’ll be okay… eventually…
But why does pain have to hurt so much? Why can’t there be a switch to turn it off? Emotional pain is just one of those things where you can’t pop an advil to make the pain go away…although i’m sure there is..considering our rampant use of drugs nowadays. But I believe in doing it the ol’ naturel way, which just means it’ll hurt more for longer… Then what?
Life can be challenging, I get that, it’s suppose to make us stronger people in the long run, but it still hurts…
And my soon-to-come period just makes things feel 10 billion times worst…. I can’t wait til mr. period pays me a visit so then my mental state can go back to “normal” whatever the hell that means….
I think feeling any sort of pain whether it’s emotional or physical sucks. Yet, if we can survive it, usually life will get better and if you get to the stage of pure utter happiness, you would know that the pain was all worth it. You’ll be okay again, hun. It just takes time and I bet you anything that when you are completely happy again, you will look back at this moment and know that it was worth getting over this obstacle. Just ride it out. *hugs*
