Certain instances in our lives turn our world upside down, with the rising sun as the blood rushes through our veins, we hope for a better day than yesterday. The smallest of things have the greatest impact on us, without anyone knowing why such things impact us the way they do. It brings us pain of the highest degree to let go of that one person we adore the most, to struggle through our worst days to make it to our best day and to face our deepest fears every now and then. What do all of these have in common? The hardest lessons we often learn in life are through our heartbreaks, the heartbreaks making our stories different from most. We often miss talking to people we'd pour out hearts out to but no longer communicate with, we know the true value of something when we no longer can have it, and the older we get, the more we tend to live life.

I often think why I always learn things the hard way and tend to go through such a rough phase when everyone around me easily makes it through the day. The truths that lie behind this are the personal stories that are usually untold because we always want to look our best while we portray we're happy. We continuously run away from our past and struggles that make us function the way we do. We try as hard as possible to avoid the pain and the sufferings that come hand in hand with our hardest battles, and tend to find more pain within ourselves as we fail to acknowledge the real source of pain.

While growing up, we believe in happy ever afters, superheroes, tooth fairies and what not. We learn to see the beauty in everything, we believe that miracles do happen everyday, and that we're part of one big, happy family. As we grow older we learn to embrace the pain, and that these painful experiences have so much to teach us and they change us to make us gracious individuals. In contrast to what most of us believe which is that pain weakens us. We tend to lose grip on our lives and let pain affect us to the point where it only kills us.

It takes us an entire lifetime to learn how to embrace pain and allow it to teach us what it has to. We spend innumerable hours scrolling through social media or listening to sad songs that just make it harder for us to see the good that comes along the dilemma. But unless we face our fears and inhibitions, we're never going to know how to overcome them. Pain, sufferings and heartbreaks will always be an unavoidable part at any instance in our lives. We could let the pain get to the best part of us, or we could choose to look at the brighter side where we realize the good that comes along these experiences. Accept the slight damage that allows you to become the real person you are, and let the heartbreak kill you so you know what you're capable of.
