✨ The Purpose Behind Pain
Pain isn't just something to avoid or numb, it's a message.
Emotional pain appears when something within us needs attention, a boundary that's been crossed, a wound that's unhealed, apart from ourselves we've been ignoring.
Instead of asking "How do I stop feeling this?" we can begin asking "What is this trying to teach me?"
When we approach pain with curiosity, it becomes a guide:
- It shows us what truly matters
- It reveals where connection needs repair
- It uncovers the parts of us longing for healing.
Healing doesn't mean never feeling pain again. It means learning from it, growing through it, and allowing it to shape us into stronger, more self-aware versions of ourselves.
Pain is not the enemy. Sometimes, it's the doorway to transformation. ✨
