Hurt wrote:The pain just seems to keep coming back. Like waves crashing over an already battered rock. It’s not like this everyday. It’s a word, sentence, trait, plan that reopens the floodgates of memories. Like deciding on where to holiday. Or about where to stay. The name of the city would initially elicit a dull ache in my heart. And anyone using his name would make me feverishly want to turn deaf.
I’m still trying hard to cross that stage.
The future is filled with cautious optimism. Of hope that someday the past will become so hazy that I will have trouble recollecting it. Of wanting this potential someone to understand what I’ve been through, hold my hand and say “it’ll be alright”. Of wanting to be able to fall in love again.
Life teaches you some real hard lessons sometimes.
I know that some memories are so painful and so unfair you just want to run and hide. But our response to painful setbacks ultimately determines our direction in life. We may not be able to control or choose the circumstances but we can choose the response. It’s like the lady
who didn’t want to face the fact her bills were more than her income, so she just started putting them in a dresser drawer and ignoring them. She figured they would go away.
WRONG! The first step to recover is to admit that there is a problem. The response you must chose is to move on with life, if something is not meant to happen in your life then be it so. I know its easier said then done. But tell me if brooding over such painful memories can get you out of that Hurt,, then half the population of this country would be brooding the entire day.
All I can say is Hurt chose a response that is positive and responsible. Convert that Hurt into Hope and Faith. Move on with life, don’t brood over something which was not meant for you.
Dont be hurt,, change that hurt into something positive, then see the difference
