I myself could use a little clarity.
Life is a ball of contradictions.
It's something I've learned so far. Life is pain, but it's also joy. It's both in their purest forms when taken over the whole of a fully lived life. Just like in physics, for every emotion there is an equal and opposite emotion to be felt. An emotion that you WILL feel.
The pain of living is always worth it because it's always equal to the joy. Always. It's something that's hard to remember at times, but it is. If it weren't, you wouldn't be feeling it.
Maybe that's a poor way to word it. Maybe I can find a better way: Most pain in this world is from losing something. For me, right now, it's from losing a connection. A single piece of red string that binds me to someone else. It's the most intense pain that I've felt. I don't need to explain it. I already have.
However, it wouldn't hurt if that love wasn't important. If it wasn't wonderful, uplifting, and amazing. It pulled me from a shell I had locked myself in and made me feel things all over. Wonderful and beautiful things, and that makes it worth all the pain from losing it.
If it wasn't worth the pain, it wouldn't have been important to me, and if it hadn't been important it wouldn't have hurt to lose it.
Now I just have to remember that.
