Living unloved

Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly...

Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly and if left unresolved for a very long time you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place....

This is one of my favorite quotes from the book The Shack. This quote resonates with me because I know how much I've been hurt in my life, yet I still have faith. 
I have faith in people, no matter how bad some may be or behave. I still have faith in love. No matter how many times I've been cheated on or lied to, or fucked over, I still believe that one day I will find that one person for me.
I still have faith in myself, no matter how many times I screw up or fall on my face, I will keep trying.

So many people get stuck when they are hurt. They cut themselves off from people, from finding love and even from trying again because that pain inside keeps them stuck. They don't want to have to go through that much pain yet again. So they stop trying.

I get it, pain sucks, sometimes it literally feels like your heart is breaking, like you can't breathe, I know that the pain is real. Sometimes it takes a long time to get over it and for some people they never can. But this is not who you are meant to be. We are creatures that need companionship, that need to be loved and love others. And yes, we will be hurt, sometimes by the very ones we love the most. But that doesn't mean that you quit. That you lock your heart up, never to be seen again. It doesn't mean all people are out to hurt you or act like that. 

You need to fly, you need to try again, to be willing to open your heart up, even though it is scary. This is who we are as humans.

So today my friends remember, if you've been hurt, you need to try again. Don't be that person who is holding on to hurt, to anger and hatred for years. Don't let it eat you up,like cancer inside your body, affecting everyone else you come in contact with. Know that you are supposed to fly again, this is who you are, this is who you are meant to be. Don't forget that.
