Accepting that life has suffering

To be able to live life well is to accept the suffering that comes with it

That’s why our life should revolve around experiencing emotions when they come. Because pain will not come once in a lifetime. It’ll come again and differently and in different intensities. And every-time we will look into our hearts and say: remember it’s another time to heal and learn again. Every time you’ll learn how to heal different and smoother.

I was so stunned at first on how life contained so much suffering and why.

I learned so far not to be so surprised of pain, not to be astonished at how life offers much misery and fear.
This was my felt experience- of days of not wanting to accept that life should have pain.
Till I realized that as waiting for pain to fade I was letting life pass too.

I found my answer; to be able to live well is to accept that life contains suffering, to accept the suffering when it comes, and not be surprised by it.

We deserve to feel okay and existing, not only when everything is so perfect. To be able to live well, do not be surprised of suffering, just live it and know 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.

There will be a lot of days in between full of relief and peace.
