Pain

Two types of pain, one that leaves you hurt and the other that completely breaks you. Hurt takes time to heal. The case is different for when one is totally broken on the inside. Time alone would not be sufficient to bring life back. Maybe external help could help to fix you. But once broken, no matter how you try to piece the pieces together, you will still see the cracks. The person could no longer be like he once was.

That change is what we all fear. What everyone fear is to wake up one day feeling numb. One who says he is not afraid of change could possibly never went through one OR has gone through so many, he no longer fears it. A person who craves for change all the time are the people who can't provide an assurance that it won't wreck anything. In the process, creates a series of issues to face.

We need to learn to acknowledge that our hearts take time to warm up to these changes. The more we expose it to drastic changes, the faster it loses it's warmth. And soon, you start to feel numb of all the warmth your body and soul is trying to gather. That is when you need another to "fix" you.

I can't tell you readers not to reach to that point where you will need someone to "fix" you. And I am not saying that it is bad that someone has to "fix" you because obviously there are good outcomes of that too. What I am trying to point out that if we took care of ourselves, we take full responsibility of our own growth. And that could help you in your time of need where there is absolutely no one.

And that is strength. From all the hurt that you went through.
