EMOTIONAL RIDE
February 28th, 2008 by charlottedianco
A FRIEND of mine sent this message a few weeks ago.
"It’s fun being a strong person. You feel invincible, like you can face anything that comes your way. But you know what sucks being one? It’s when people think it’s okay to hurt you."
Damn. I was just re-reading this from my phone this morning and I was like.. "yeah, that sucks."
I’ve always considered myself as a strong person. I’ve been through a lot of pain, struggles, heartaches (oh yeah! double damn!) and countless unimaginable shitty circumstances that one would never want to be into. But I survived and realized that yeah- I am strong. If it happened to others who have weaker hearts or shaky faith, they would have probably lost their minds or jumped from a tall building. But somehow I always manage to get by and pull through- call it luck, divine intervention or as Mahallah would say- it’s simply because I am me. I am a survivor.
This morning, someone sent me messages through my mobile phone- asking for my reaction and thoughts about this and that. Like what would I do if the situation is this or if this thing happened, etc. It was in the tradition of ‘Echoes from the Heart‘ that kind of stuff. It was hypothetical but it was a good mental and emotional exercise for me.
Pain is something we all have to deal with whether we like it or not. We cannot escape from it because it’s part of life. All I know is that when I am hurt and in pain- it’s not the best feeling in the world. I’ve been emotionally hurt so many times, but in time, I’ve learned how to deal with it. Experience has taught me that my world won’t stop just because someone decided to hurt me emotionally. Of course it’s easier said than done- but what the hell- I’ve done it before. We can feel pain because we’re just human. But because we’re humans- we have choices and options too. We can entertainment pain for a day- that’s understandable. We can go through an emotional ride but there would always be a time when the ride would stop and we have to get out of the roller coaster. I’ve learned that I don’t have to torture myself just because one person transformed into the devil himself.
We can always move on– because the last time I checked- the sun is still the center of the universe.
