Beauty from Pain

Humans have this sick disease. We don't admit it, because we're afraid of sounding unstable. We are in love with our pain. It makes us feel alive, and gives us purpose. It keeps us from feeling numb. We love to hurt.

That's why we get stuck in these never ending cycles, why we secretly hate a good friend for dating your ex-boyfriend, why we get paranoid and clingy, and why we stay in unhealthy relationships. Its why we go crazy, and deep down inside, love every minute of it.

We always try to hide not only the fact that we're hurting, but that we refuse to let it go. This dishonesty with ourselves and others keeps the pain going. If we really hated our pain, we would choose not to feel it. Yet, without pain we would never grow.
