It is not a revelation - as humans we bring so much undo worry and grief on ourselves. So much of the pain we experience are from the thoughts we concoct in our own minds. They were not fed to us, but created somewhere inside. And these, above all, seem to be the thoughts that scare us the most.
Most people would agree, they do not like to be overly scared, worried, or distressed in general. But, then why is it that we continue to cause ourselves pain by obsessing over the worst of the past, the present and the future?
As cliche as it seems, the statement that we prefer pain over no feeling at all is the only answer I have for this. Perhaps letting something go is often harder than mulling over it, because at least when the bad feelings exists SOMETHING exists. Oftentimes letting go of the parts of life that bring us the most negative feelings are the same parts that once brought us the most positive ones.
but you've got too much to wear
on you sleeves
it has to do too much with me
and secretly
i want to bury in the yard
the grave remains of a friendship scarred
