Somehow, at some point, we hope our pain will dissipate in an instant. But paradoxically, healing would be out of the picture without it.

Pain is meant to be felt—how else would we recognize healing without feeling what hurts us? Being lost in wondering what it means to feel even the undesirable ones is totally okay because, as humans we are, we seek goodness even in the midst of chaos. But knowing why life’s journey is bound to be hurtful, you’ll then keep on finding the purpose of why some things had to emerge instead of escaping what causes us to bleed.
