The Colors of Emotion by Maggi Norris - Literature - Ask Nem5

THERE ARE TIMES
© Monika Carter July 9, 2001

There are times when we feel that life is against us. There are times when nothing we do seems to turn out right. There are times when we just want to curl up in a little ball and disappear under a blanket. There are times when we hurt so bad that we'd rather die. There are times when we can only see the way out through the bottom of a bottle and those times we regret the most. The numbness goes, but the pain remains and there is still no solution.

At times like these I found that it is best to just keep the head low and blast through the pain and hurt. Don't run from it, but embrace it, make it a part of you. You will see that once you did that you will be able to deal with it, conquer it and put it behind you for good.

People and circumstances are not always kind to us. The best meant plans sometimes backfire. All we can do is deal with it as it comes and remember that we are not alone. Sometimes it helps to just rave and shout, sometimes it helps to cry. Sometimes it helps to share the pain and sometimes it is enough to know that you can if you want to.
