What Hurts the Most (Brief notes)

Many times we are faced with challenges that soon become lifetime burdens. Burdens that cause internal issues like depression, insomnia, anti-social behavior, and disconnection to those you should have a connection with. The problems are endless.

It often baffles me how blind people can be once they are placed in a situation. Many people block out the painful portions of the situation to make themselves feel better. Other people convince themselves that they are "helping" and not hurting. And a small minority of people actually understand the situation and have come to terms with it in all aspects.

Many times in these situations we dont realize how much we are actually hurting on the inside. We dont realize it until we are confronted with the issue that burdens us. We dont realize it until we cant sleep at night, or we lose our appetite or we isolate ourselves. We usually dont have time to reflect on how we really feel and how we really want to to react. We just react and think about how we feel later. We say and do things that hurt others and its because we are hurting just as much as they are.

Wrapping our minds around the idea of someone or something hurting us is heavy enough and sometimes it takes a while to grasp. But once you've grasped it, the only thing to do is accept it and move on.
