When painful memories and emotions appear, will you choose to push them away or let them linger?
When people face an important loss, they will go through various stages of mourning, from being difficult to accept to completely digesting and letting go. Before letting go, you may go through such a stage…
Whether you are willing or not is not done voluntarily
Every time you chew a certain ingredient, hear a certain lyric, or pass a certain street, memories and pain may come back to you. Even if you avoid these scenes that evoke memories, the memories may not be completely under your control. Memories and the pain associated with them often make people want to push them away. But the more we resist and push them away, the more they linger.
Until one day, you realize that connecting with the pain actually brings a little comfort.
Just like the lyrics of Lin Jiaqian’s ‘Some Kind of Old Friend’, you tell yourself ‘I am sharing some memories with you from time to time, and I am no longer taboo about living together’.
**Old shadows will come, but they won’t stay forever. **
Emotions and shadows come like old friends who are ’temporarily staying’, old friends who will leave when the rain stops.
Emotions and shadows come like old friends who are ’temporarily staying’, old friends who will leave when the rain stops.
Slowly, it reduced the number of visits.
🌊 But when the memories are too heavy and hit, the emotions set off huge waves that are unbearable…
🌦Learn to be friends with them. I hope you will learn to greet this old friend with a smile the next time he comes to visit.
