The sun sets on another day…
Sunset? Not tonight. It was stormset, but that was ok since the sky was full of life. This time of year is often tumultuous, and very fun now matter how you look at it.
I spent a lot of time last night thinking about how we all feel. Not in that silly way but you refer to when you’re in a work setting or social setting that is a positive exaggeration of what’s really going on in your life but instead that simple thought process where we think about how we feel for real. Feelings are very deep. On one hand we have the physical manifestations. I have dealt with those my entire life and not a day goes by that I don’t feel some level of pain. Eventually you learn how to ignore it and I did at a very early age. Physical pain can be relatively devastating if it grows or if there is something very wrong. Physical pain can be horrifically intense and take away your will and a lot more.
Mental pain can be somewhat more devastating. Although there are many that will say that mental pain doesn’t hurt and that you should “suck it up buttercup” or any number of other fun little sayings that try to deny the existence of that type of pain, mental pain can be equally it’s devastating. From grief to heartache to despair your mind can make your pain as real as a knife going straight through you. It is here that you want to take a step back and take a deep breath and maybe even ask for help. Mental pain and physical pain both require assistance or strong personalities to overcome. My advice is do not set people aside and be alone and instead reach out and be open to others.
Pain is real, if you need help please find it.
So as the sun sets on another day, I remember in Roadhouse a funny statement being thrown out that “pain don’t hurt”, I am here today that that is wrong but Please remember you’re not alone. You don’t have to face pain alone so open your mind and your heart and find the help you need, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and ouch…
