Woohoo Pain!

Where do i go when something hurts? Where do you go when something hurts? I find myself thinking about the places i feel would make me feel better if, heaven forbid, something sucky happened. Honestly, i can't answer. I could probably steer other people in the right direction but when it comes to myself i have no idea. Does everyone have the same place of healing? What is healing really? Can you think of it as a physical thing like a real wound that only needs time to be ok? But is it then left weaker forever like a scar?

I think back over times in my life when i have been in pain and wonder what has happened since then to make it not kill me as much as it did then. How can something that meant so much to me at a time mean so little now?

Because it is a mental pain, healing may only come with the death of memories, for it is memories that keep the pain alive. Wow, that sucks! these pains are usually things that we're never going to forget though...

I know in reading this everyone is going to think of something painful for them to try and think of there own reason why...sorry for encouraging the dragging up of old junk.

In everything i hear from people...well mostly movies is that things need to be faced. Who the hell knows what to do when they face the thing that makes them crumble? Are we just supposed to have faith that if we put ourselves out there that by faith some magic kind of healing will take place? Hmm.

Imagine you are the most unlucky person on earth and every week something new goes wrong physically with you. one week you break a bone, another week an organ fails and so on. Now all these thinks get better(granted its not something that will kill you straight away if it fails...stay with me here) but you will be left eventually with all these things not working at their best, some ok might be better by fluke but the majority will not be as good as they once were. All these things will add up, and to be expected with all this injury, you die. Even though things have been given time to 'heal'. Not to sound depressing but is that what we are like? will one day all of our past injuries just lead us to give up?

If you have realized by this blog i have given no answers. Because i have no clue myself. And even if i did, i don't think any readers would feel the same way. We all have very different ways of dealing with pain and i say 'dealing' not 'healing'.

One thing rings true though:

Pain shared is pain halved
Joy shared is joy doubled...

...until you're alone again. Why does contact with people help?
