Read this somewhere which goes along the line :
"We have always been taught to recognize feelings of happiness, proud, achievement but no one has ever acknowledge emotions like pain, regret and disappointment. Pain should be celebrated, emotions like these should be accepted and not to be feared."
Well said.
Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Turning these emotions away and suppressing them will just make you inhumane.
I have always thought to myself, to be able to feel such pain is because I love as much in-depth.
Being regretful is because I did not manage to fulfil my own purposes while disappointment is because of trusting and expecting from others too much. However, these emotions also serve as a reminder that if there is a next time, I would have chosen the other way.
All these are signs of being us; being able to feel like a human.
"When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions."
- Brene Brown
When you are wounded, you listen, you navigate and there is where you find your inner light, realizing your inner truth and holding on to your clarity.
It is where you realize what makes sense and important to you, remembering why.
So, celebrate pain; even though it hurts you like an asshole.
