You Can't Erase Pain with...
You cannot erase pain with distractions. No matter how hard we try to erase our pain with distractions we cannot ever erase pain, we have to feel the pain. We are a society of non-believers and we start with not believing in ourselves, having nothing to do with God or religious beliefs. Pain is what we get when we are under the delusionary belief that we won't ever feel it. Life hands us pain in the form of many things from losing a job to losing a loved one. We cannot avoid it or run from it because when we get back it is still there.
I love my friends but cannot help but to want more for a woman who lost her mother and cannot get past it. She distracts herself by planing things constantly and keeping a delusionary control over her life. Her home is impeccable and even her closets are maticulously organized. She leaves nothing to chance yet she cannot control her feelings and in fact hides her feelings. Inside she is falling apart and on the outside there is anger that conceals her sadness. She does not want others to know her pain yet many times she goes off and binges on life.
You cannot erase pain nor should you want to. The more you hide it the worse the pain becomes. The more you try to convince others that you are OK but inside you are screaming then it is time to look at the pain and stop the distractions. Look pain in the mirror and admit that you feel it and ask it to go away as soon as possible becasue yes you don't want to live in pain for the rest of your days. Taking the pain in your hand does not mean that you want to drown in it or focus on it forever. In fact what we focus on we get more of so allow pain a visit and then decide to nurture yourself back to reality and back to the people who are waiting for you.
