Some pain will never go away. As long as we live, we love. As long as we love, we care. That is just how it goes.

If anything, we learn to build our life around it, little by little, so that it doesn't feel as heavy anymore.

If we're lucky, then maybe, someday, we will also learn to appreciate how that pain helped us grow and get us to where we are today.

Because whether we are willing to admit it or not, we learn most about ourselves—our fears, values, insecurities, doubts, needs, desires, courage, strength—when we're in pain.

Kindly,

Neva.
