PAIN

One day a doctor asked me how I felt. I shed tears right away. I am so much of a person who doesn’t like to let out emotions, but at that moment I couldn’t hold them. I don’t regret it as I learned something new that day.

The Doctor encouraged me to cry more and asked me a lot of questions I normally try not to answer as they trigger my emotions. by then it was about the accident I had and for me it was early to talk about it. I was still in shock, and I always dodged that conversation.

The Doctor told me how it is human, how it displays signs of life and a normal human to cry, he further explained how it is scientifically bad and dangerous to not feel pain or express it when you should. He gave me an example of a tree: when it is broken it tears too. A normal person feels pain and expresses it in different ways. Some try to hide it like me, others don’t.

Those who know me little think that I never get angry or that I am always laughing, well am more of smiley girl because I try to look at the positive side of every situation but it doesn’t mean that my life is perfect or that I never have problems because honey everyone under the sun has his/her own problems to deal with, the difference is that we deal with them differently.

Pain is something we feel inside, I personally can’t explain well how It is like, but either your physical pain or emotional pain no one could understand it or feel it like you do even parents which love dearly their children can't feel their pain, they could imagine though and try everything they can to help but nothing else.

Pain is temporary my dear even though when you are experiencing it, you feel like it is forever, or it will never end but at the end of the day it goes away and the fun thing we even forget about it completely. 

Learn to embrace pain, express it, as it is a way of healing, unexpressed pain would kill you and every life starts inside, when you are dead inside there is no life. I learned from the Doctor that I should express my pain and my emotions. I have different ways of doing that like writing how I feel or taking the time to think about things I don’t like to think about or talk and cry. Those are mine you might find yours.
