It Hurts

Blog post #264 of 365

I am afraid.

I am afraid of things that hurt. Now this sounds weird even to me since I live in pain every day and I am not afraid of pain. I don't like it but I have come to grips with it. Pain and hurt are different.

I'm talking about the hurt that comes from an emotional or psychological origin. Emotional and psychological pain are the worst kind of hurt possible. The kind of hurt where you feel physically broken. Like you might not live to see another day kind of hurt.

Mostly I am apprehensive of things that unexpectedly hurt. You never expect people who love you to hurt you. That kind of betrayal is brutal.

Some things frighten me but being hurt is the only thing I am afraid of totally.
