Living with emotional pain

Living with emotional pain can be difficult. It is real. You can feel it. You can even cry...but more often you just live with it and pretend that you are fine. No matter how good you can pretend, you still can feel emotional pain very real. If your emotional skin was burned, you could still live with emotional pain today.

Listen to your heart and how you feel. Maybe you are so used to feeling bad, feeling in pain that you ignore it? Pain is there, stop and listen to yourself, what is exactly that bothers you today? Why aren't you happy? You can find reasons, you can find what you want, wish or what/who hurt you. We all have past.

Why do we feel pain

We go through life, taking risks, do what we can to avoid pain, but sometime our wished don't come true and we get hurt. No one wants to get hurt. It's just happens, it's not your fault, but you were not prepared for it anyhow.

No one seeks pain, we do the best we can to avoid pain and we seek pleasure. When you get hurt, it can scar emotionally and leave you living in emotional pain for long.
