Whether emotionally, physically, mentally or ironically, pain is something that is a grey area. No one likes to talk about it, no one likes to show it, its sort of -swept under the rug.
However, although its something that is constantly hidden from the eye, it is something that everyone has in common. Although pain is something that is seen as unhealthy or flaw, it is something that each and every person can relate to, it is something that everyone has experienced and it is something that we should be able to discuss freely.
So, unlike most happy and uplifting posts, this post is about the silver lining. How pain has helped me and how it has helped the people around me.
The silver lining behind pain... it is certainly there. Tell me there isn't and i will reply "did you become the person you are today because you got everything you wanted? Did you become strong and positive because you were never pushed down?
We have all been taught from when we were little kids that we are out on our own. Each man for themselves. Whether it was a bad grade, or a black eye, we were taught that tomorrow will be better and that we will learn from our mistakes and our misfortune.
well i was anyway.
So, how do i begin. Do i tell you all the terrible things that have happened to me? Do i tell you that i've moved on or that i've become numb to pain that comes in and out of my life? no, i wont bore you.
But i will tell you to look at yourself through my eyes.
What has happened to you in your life. What sort of pain have you endured? Were you in a car crash? Did you fail your final exams? Did your girlfriend break your heart or do you constantly struggle with your weight?
Now picture this, what if you had all of your wishes.
What if you didn't crash that car, where would you be? If you were skinny, would you be known for your personality or just your body? If you were still with your girlfriend, would you have gone on that road trip with your mates and had one of the best weekends of your life? If you passed your exams, would you be doing a job you love or a job that just carries a good pay check?
Think to yourself.
Pain comes, but it also leaves. It may hurt at the time, but when you look back on it, all it has done is shaped you into the person who you are designed to be. Everyone is different and really there isn't a definition of pain. What hurts us, doesn't necessarily hurt the people around us. We create the image of pain in our minds and we let it destroy us.
So instead of seeing pain as something destructive, see it in a positive light. Appreciate it, because let me tell you, it makes you grow. You aren't some shallow person who loves everything and has never cried at night. You are somebody, you have your own story and you are where you are now because of 'painful' things that have happened to you in your past.
Be thankful. For our bumps and bruises give us character and character is something you can't buy or earn. It is given to you during your wars and it is your own unique battle scar that you get to show off to the rest of the world.
SO,
overall, pain isn't all misery. There is a glimpse of glory in it, and there will always be a positive outcome to your painful experiences. Sure there may be rain now, but the sun will have to shine soon.
Love to all and thank you again to my viewers,
until next time
