Mai luan chu seh!

Dear Pain

What are you, really? Are you that flowing, acidic juice? A type of feeling or emotion? Or are you just an interpreted impulse in the mind?

At some occasions, you stay for quite a long time. Sometimes invited, sometimes uninvited. Sometimes I feel silly for letting you in. But the weird thing is, once you’re gone, I feel like something is not quite right, like I’m doing a disservice to myself.

But at this time, you are like my friend. I wish I had a coach or a training partner. But you are all I have. You are my only guide that I am going the right direction. I can be sure that you will leave an impact with me. You assure me that I’ll inevitably be changed for the better once you’re gone. You give me hope. You make me look forward to a brand new day, when greater strength will spring forth.

You motivate me. You inspire me. You are my driving force. Without you, I’d learn nothing. And I’d gain nothing.

In the meantime, I’ll be companions with you. I’ll await the day when you’re finally done with me. And P replaces itself with a G.

Till then, we got lots to go through together.
