a gained pain

sometimes we hold onto our pain as if it were some trophy, a battle scar to be proudly displayed.

maybe it's because we don't want to feel as if our sufferings are in vain. whatever the case, pain can be a healthy reminder of what not to do, but it can withhold experiencing the full joys of the moment. something to think about as we go into a new season. what pain would you be willing to let go of? the first step is deciding you want to.
