You should never forget

I stayed like that for weeks, wanna write something, actually, trying to write something but I just couldn’t. Actually, I didn’t know what exactly to write about until that day, the day when I went to my dentist. The day when he told me he needed to operate on my teeth. The day when the pain knocked on my door. Well, the operation itself was no big deal but the complications were. Regardless of the details, I had hard complications & instead of easing, the pain became worse every day that I had that feeling that the pain will never go away. Trying to make myself stronger, I started telling myself that I’ve been through worse & that at the end of the day the pain will go anyway. But then I thought to myself, ‘No. I have never been through worse. This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, the worst pain any one could experience’. And that was the moment when I knew what exactly I’m wanna write about. I’m writing about Pain & how we always deal with it.

According to the dictionary, pain is the feeling you have when some part of your body hurts. But according to us, humans I mean, pain isn’t just the feeling we have when something goes wrong with some organ of ours. For us, pain is the feeling we have when things go wrong with anything, a relationship, a career, anything. It’s actually strange how anything can be a source of pain, but you know what’s stranger, how we deal with the pain or in other words, how we react to it. Every time we are in pain, the first thing that comes to our minds is that’s the worst, most painful thing that has ever happened to us, that we can never go through worse & sometimes we think that it will be a miracle if we survived that pain. But then, that pain eases & eases then it heals or in the worst case becomes unnoticeable & we go back to the life journey until some other pain strikes & the cycle goes on. It’s so ironic how every pain is the worst pain we could ever have or that’s what we tell ourselves every time we’re in pain. But why do you think we do that? Is it because we need sympathy? Is it because we’re too fragile to take painful situations? Well, personally, I think it’s simply because we forget. Life keeps us busy & we forget. We forget about the hard times as well as the good times we’ve been through. We say that life is all about experience but though, we forget about our own experiences. What I’m trying to say is that your life, your experiences, your happy moments or even your painful moments are valuable.  That everything is happening for a reason so try to find out that reason & once you find it, hold on to it & never forget about it because at the end of the day, it’s not just the pain or the laughter or the tears that matter, what really matters is what we learn from them.
