….of dealing with it or not at all

A lot of things have been going on in life lately, and there are times when I just can’t keep up with it anymore. I’ve been too busy trying to ignore my problems only to end up realizing that things are now beyond my control. I’ve always stood by the belief that it will all just fade away, that one day I will just wake up and find that everything was fine. But then again just now, I wake up realizing the opposite. Turns out, trying not to keep up with life leaves me with a lot more pain to be dealing with. It’s like the pandora’s box wherein you try to hide all the bad things in your life have one day, sprung open, leaving you with no other choice but to deal with it and just be strong.

I guess all I’m trying to say here is that, there’s nothing wrong with being hurt and trying to surrender to that pain. Trying to mask what you truly feel will only give you an even more hurtful pain in the long run. Like all wounds you get in your skin, let it bleed. One day it will all heal, and leave you with nothing but a scar to remind you of the pain you once felt.
