Getting Hurt

I get tired of hearing people say they’re scared of getting hurt and want to avoid it. Reality check- you will ALWAYS get hurt. No matter what. But you are in control, you choose how you get hurt. If you do it you could get hurt, if you don’t you could get hurt because you didn’t. People are scared that they’ll get hurt when they’re in a relationship because they have in the past. True, but that’s the risk you take and if you don’t you’re still going to get hurt- playing it safe leads to hurt- regret, wonder, and loneliness. Even if it’s not anything to do with such, you will always get hurt but you are choosing how. Not that you are choosing to get hurt, that is inevitable and something you’ll have to move past, but that the situations you put yourself in determine the kinds of hurt possible. You will get hurt. But you decide- that’s what life is. So now that you know you can make decisions based on the good that could come from it and not something you can never avoid.
