: pain is happiness

“where there is light, there is always shadow” Jung

whether we choose to notice it or not, there is always some sort of shadow as happiness forms within our lives. , as humans we seek happiness as the ultimate state, and by seeking happiness, we are destined to be disappointed. And when we don’t have happiness, we don’t recognize that it’s not there; I mean who would? We all want to be happy. In the depths of your sorrow, you believe that there will never be another happy moment in your life. The pain hurts so bad, yet you feel as though happiness isn’t there; I hate to burst your bubble, all you individuals who are sinking in your own tears, happiness is right in front of your face. Let me give an example; home grown as a matter of fact;
for months and months I cried, and was so depressed because of a relationship that lasted so long, and trickled down to nothing even faster. The pain hurt so bad. It was like a knife stabbing my heart every which way possible; I thought id never be happy again and that the pain would never go away. I wanted happiness; little did I know that the loss of our relationship was the start to my happy new life because we broke up for a reason, the reason of him cheating on me, which yes it hurt, it hurt so bad, but in the end, happiness was rooting for me, happiness was looking out for me; happiness knew that in order for me to be happy, I had to feel a little pain first, and than, inch by inch, day by day, I got a little stronger and started to see the light; I realized that I should have been happy because I was let go from the worst relationship of my life, and I knew I deserved better; I was free. The light finally shined down on me, and in the shadows, very distant, I will always remember what got me to the happiness and satisfaction; pain.

No matter how many days go by and you’re still sad about something
that makes you believe that your life is going to be over;
it’s not over; you’re just starting.
