Pain as defined by Merriam Webster: a mental or emotional
suffering: sadness caused by some emotional or
mental problem.
“Life
is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and
sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just
let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why
we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past
all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are
the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is
no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone
that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.”― Alysha Speer
Pain is an ultimate part of life. There is no
getting around it, no matter how rich, poor, prominent, happy, one person is; pain
is inevitable. However, it is what we do with the pain that can determine where
we go and react. I can’t say I am a specialist, but I have spent the better
part of 30 years trying to evade pain. I have tried every avenue available to
avoid being hurt. There is NO such avenue. It’s ironic that I can see when
another person is enabling the hurt, but yet, I continue to struggle with the
same issue.
Ultimately, most forms of pain are caused by
someone (s) that has hurt us. We give them so much power and control over our
lives, because we have lost sight of who we are. That is probably the most tragic
part of certain pain and suffering. No matter how far we search. How wide.
There is only One that can heal our brokenness. Re-reading so much of my work
shows me that I still struggle with surrendering my life and my will completely
to the one true Healer. May I seek Him with my whole soul even when it is the
last thing I want to do….
