Pain...

It is said that pain is often one of the best teachers in life. Going through existence with nary a care serves nothing, I believe, for not having cares (unless you're really good at detaching) usually means one is in denial.

That being said, I'm tired of being in pain. Tired of trying to staunch the flow of my bleeding heart. Someone I had great hopes for left me for someone unstable, someone who treated him badly. And while my brain realizes I'm better off, my emotions continue to haunt me. That's the farthest distance: between the heart and brain.

I know I'm better off. So why doesn't my heart realize this, too? Do I have to learn the lesson endlessly, in order to cultivate more and more caches of self-love? Why can't I seem to express this love to someone worth my time?

Meanderings of the mind. Thank you for reading.

"That's the farthest distance: between the heart and brain."

i hear practically nothing but petty b.s. around me all day long and then i read something like this, which is so true it hurts. but it's beautiful at the same time, which the truth to me generally is.

don't have an answer to your questions--i'd probably be asking myself the same ones if i were smarter. but for what it's worth, what you wrote somehow made me feel better today.

thanks for meandering. thanks for writing.

I see what you mean hope16,I am living it right now!!!!It's sucks.I am telling myself one thing though,what's the point of staying with somebody who doesn't love you? He'll leave anyway,now or later!!!The pain is here,there's nothing you can do about it but keep in mind that if he left later than he did,the pain would be worse.
Right now,I am just thinking for myself,have fun,do things that really matters and the time will do the rest in getting over him...
