Pain and suffering are separate things. I can manage the suffering (sometimes by using communication to exorcise it), the pain will do its thing as it always did. I find comfort in realism, it can be a short lived nasty feeling when you see life as it is, but on the long run it helps me the most. It is what it is. All the emotions are pure and good (even the so called negative ones), the key is to remain balanced. Ignoring an emotion only makes it louder and eventually it rules you instead of simply informing you (talking from experience) So thank you for allowing me to communicate, to exorcise, to be seen and exist, as is, without the mask. 🫂💜
