Pain is...

Pain is something that all living things experience. Everyday you will experience some amount of pain- whether it be a heavy or small pain. Pain is still pain. I am writing this blog because pain seems to be surrounding me. Once things in my life begin to go exactly as I plan them, pain comes in and ruins it. Or atleast, that's how it seems. Of course, I am only in highschool so I realize that I have yet to experience terrifying pain but I still feel pain. More pain than I want to feel. Yes, pain is good. Or atleast, some pain is good for you. It builds character and makes you learn from your mistakes. Humans need pain. We need to feel emotions other than happiness. When we feel pain, it reminds us that we are still living and that we are not perfect.

Now the pain that I keep experiencing is not healthy. It is pain that comes from highschool drama. This pain is something that I can fix. But yet, I tolerate it. It's almost like I settle for it. I just accept it. I wonder why I don't let this pain go. I think that sometimes we get scared to move forward. We are afraid of letting go of something even though we know that what is in store will be so much better for us. I wonder why we do that. Why do we have such a hard time letting things that are bad for us go? I think that when we begin to let something go, we feel so much pain that we decide to run back into the trap that caused the pain instead of moving forward and away from that pain. Why do we do this? Why do we allow ourselves to settle for the easy thing?

Pain is realizing that what we once had is not what will have.
