I’ve learned that pain never truly goes away. Once you’ve experienced the pain of betrayal or the pain of the death of a loved one, that feeling stays with you forever. You may think it goes away, but all it does is become less and less real to you. Instead of it being an evident feeling, it just becomes a part of you. So essentially, the pain that you once uncontrollably felt becomes a large part of what shapes you into who you are for the rest of your life.
