Pain... don't sob!

Pain is a tough word. There’s no living soul on earth who would want to spend his or her life filled with it. But because pain is such a force, in our lives, at one point or another, we may find ourselves battling against it. Whether we give in or not depends on how we look at it. Pain can be a challenge but at the same time, pain can be a one, tough soul wrecker. Pain can be disturbing, yet it could also be purifying.

Pain comes in various forms, shapes and sizes. It could be classified as physical, mental and emotional. The latter includes the meat of this blog: the “love pain.”

Now, I got you listening.

Just a warning though, I’m not going to talk here as if I am an expert when it comes to love so don’t expect me to make you feel better afterwards.

But I found this story from somewhere about a girl who used to stay up late at night crying, sobbing thinking about the one she has loved for ten years or so. But the problem was, she can never call this person her own for they belong from two different worlds.

First, I thought it was really weird, melodramatic, but there’s one line I couldn’t help but ponder about. It said, “What choice do you have when the things that make you sad are the exact same things that make you happy and alive?”

Then, I ended up sobbing, too.

Love is a wonderful feeling. It doesn’t just make you feel secure, happy, more importantly it makes you feel complete. It also makes you feel whole. The thought of having somebody to care for and who cares for you makes the world turn around in sweet surrender. It’s like seventh heaven. And no doubt, it’s something worth fighting for.

For a person in love, pain is just temporary. It comes and goes. That explains why some opt to keep their patience regardless of how many times they’ve been hurt. They go where pain is because it is with pain that their intentions get purified. It is rather that they hurt and cry and sob than lose the persons that they love the most.

But the story of the girl was rather unfitting for she loves someone who cannot love her back. There goes the problem. And it’s hard to be in that kind of situation. It’s rather sensitive because were talking about false hopes here! Were talking about a potential suicidal causing situation here!

But seriously, it would help to know that pain is good if it helps us to be better and stronger. Pain is good if it makes us grow as individuals. If does not, I don’t think it’s worth it. We should find it comforting to realize that somehow, somewhere we deserve more than our hearts desire at the moment. We need to come to turns with reality. Fantasy is a world of lies. If things cannot, it will not.

I told you I couldn’t help you feel better.

But wait! When God closes doors, he opens Venetian blinds.
