Remember the good, forget the bad

Not many people want to remember the bad aspects of their lives for the simple fact; it is bad. But sometimes the troubles in life are too hard to forget because it is right in front of your eyes and impossible to remove.
I have lived in pain and discomfort for the last 5 years and forgetting the worse parts of my life has been a mere struggle.  It isn’t always easy, but you have to find the light in the tunnel, as it will always be there.

Today is the third day I’ve had high amounts of pain in my back, it hurts to stay still but it hurts to move, it’s hard overlooking the pain to find something happy but I keep searching, I do whatever I can to take my mind away from the pain. I spend time with family, talking, watching movies and swimming, I talk to friends, and I find little activities I can do around the house. However when I am in great pain, I take a break, grab an ice/heat pack and put on the painful area. It will help for a short time and whilst the pain is gone I continue on with my everyday life, attempting to ignore all my troubles.

We can’t all live in sadness yet there is no life with perfection. When the sad or painful times come you must keep moving forward, because if you don’t you’ll be left behind in the darkness. Don’t be afraid to take a helping hand when you need it but don’t be too reliant on others. You must find the light and look toward the future.
