“Trust me dear
I understand
I understand how painful life can be
Pain can drive you into the darkest place
I have been there too
I go there often
It can go from okay to I wish I didn't wake up the next day mood
Pain can consume you
It can break you
It can destroy you
Pain can even take away your life
But I have learnt that pain has the amount of power which we give it
And your life isn't over until your last breath
Let the pain destroy you and break down completely
Or face it and try to be braver
Remember it's all in the mind”
