Pain | Dushka Zapata

I have been hurt so, so bad.

Every time I am hurt I learn something new.

I learn, for example, that I can get through this. This, as painful as it is, is something I can survive.

I learn that I want to love more rather than less. I learn that I want to love loudly, eagerly, and with courage.

Being hurt has taught me invaluable things and this is why I don’t want to forget.

I want to remember.
