"It still hurts because it still matters"
Friday, September 28, 2012
Saw this on tumblr which felt so relatable:
"So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered.
I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad."
-John Green
Sometimes, I don't know why I still bother, but I still scroll through our photos tgt. And every single time I do that, I never fail to cry a little. I look at how happy we were and sometimes it felt that maybe things haven't changed. But then, I will rmb that it did change. And it still hurts. Because it still matters. I tried my best to cut off everything that has connections to you so that you will not appear in my sight. But I can't cut you from my thoughts just yet.
Maybe one day I will, but not yet.
