We all have been there. In situations where our world and life changed. Some drastically overnight. Losing someone or a breakup or a diagnosis. Regardless those painful situations stay with us. We carry on but deep down the pain is there.
I don’t think we should “get over it”. There’s painful memories I think will always be a part of my journey. I think they shape us but it’s ok for them to still bother you.
We all have our own individual stories. Journey. Pain.
The one thing we must learn is to not repeat those painful scenarios. That’s your only control.
Don’t go back to those who hurt you. Don’t let your guard down second time around. Forgive but move on.
I had a friend who I loved. I really loved their personality our fun times together our endless banter. It was so easy then it changed overnight. But that friend hurt me. It prevented me from getting into other relationships and friendships because I was on guard. I was wounded. I had no control over outcome and from time to time something reminds me of that pain. It’s not necessarily their fault when that pain reappears but they did cause that pain.
Could I ever believe they couldn’t hurt me again. Not sure. But I acknowledge that when I feel that emotion it’s ok to feel it. I acknowledge that our journey was the way it was.
Some things stay with you and it’s ok.
