pain

 everybody gets hurt. sometimes a big hurt, sometimes a little hurt. but the person who's suffered a lot isn't especially strong. and the person who's been hurt a little isn't especially weak. what's important is being able to get over it.

when someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. when you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside,that is true pain. because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. that one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything

life is painful and messed up. it gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. but that's why we have to keep trying. we have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. a life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. and that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living

 Pain is the feeling. Suffering is the effect the pain inflicts. If one can endure pain, one can live without suffering. If one can withstand pain, one can withstand anything. If one can learn to control pain, one can learn to control oneself

If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then your allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind
