There is a cliche that gets used an awful lot. Life is hard then you die, or a slight variation thereof.
I wonder how many of us actually resonate with this cliche?? I have seen and heard so much pain from people on wattpad in my, must be a year or close to it by now lol. But, I see pain anywhere i go to be honest. It is unavoidable, even if you isolate yourself somewhere and stay away from any contact with the outside world. You still must contend with your own *inner demons* that plague us all. It is interesting to me to contemplate just how much pain any one person can handle. I am speaking of emotional pain as opposed to physical. To me, emotional pain is far worse and more traumatic than physical, and i speak as one who has had cancer, a kidney stone and a few other extremely painful occurrences in my body.
Some people handle emotional distress quite well, others fall to pieces. Some try to become like Mr Spock and shut off all emotions while others go on emotional overload. Pain has a strange way of making us feel isolated as well. We feel like no one else can understand or relate. We feel broken,torn,unlikable,unloveable. The anguish can just roll into a gigantic snoball of hurt. Key to overcoming is- EVERYBODY HURTS!!!
If we can recognize that everyone we come across in life, young old rich poor whoever........ each of them hurt in some way or another and each, if we took time, has a story to share we can relate too. No matter how desperate you feel, hoe hopeless, helpless,overwhelmed or defeated. Remember there are lots of people who are feeling the precise same way and struggling just as much. Try to focus on that and how you would want to help that person. Then take a deep breath- and show that concern and care to YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
