We sometimes choose and chase things that bring us nothing but suffering.
We chase them in the hope that they will bring us happiness, peace and joy.
We create expectations in our heads of how finally conquering them will make us feel, we live with that feeling and get addicted to it.
But then when reality hits and settles in and we realize that things aren’t what we thought they’d be and we are forced to face that very same reality, then the suffering begins.
Just like anything though, nothing in this world is permanent.
Endure the suffering, the pain, and the hardships. It is mostly in those deep dark pits that we find ourselves, our strength and how far we can go.
Happy February, and to the start of a different and new clean life.
