THE PAIN OF FEELING

"My heart may be broken, but it will never stop loving." 
~Jessica Garay ~

It's a natural instinct to deny feeling hurt. "It doesn't matter," we tell ourselves, and "It's no big deal," we say to others.We pretend to be tougher than we are. We act as if the way we are treated is inconsequential and unimportant. But it's not. And that we can rise above it without so much as a shiver of upset. But we can't.
     When it hurts, it hurts, and better to admit that, and let it run its course, than to stuff it inside and make ourselves sick.

I gradually process whatever hurts come my way.
