Pain

Pain is ugly. Sometimes it’s beautiful. It makes you realize what’s important; what matters; what you value, what you expect; what you want; what you love. Pain is an eye opener in so many ways and on so many levels. You need to have gone through pain to understand that. That’s what I learnt. That is my lesson. Let no one ever say that for something to be worth it there has to be pain involved. That is BS. Pain comes in when you refuse to do that which your gut tells you to do. When you choose to follow what you think is right when you conscious screams otherwise. That’s why I insist pain is beautiful. It brings you back to the original point… the point you were before you chose the wrong path and left the right one. It gives you an opportunity to stand your ground and choose to do what is right. Only, we never quite realize that. We try to numb the pain. We try to run away from what is ailing/nagging us. So you numb it and it eats at you slowly, gradually. Meanwhile pain becomes a part of you that you can no longer feel the difference.
