Keep Your Eyes On The Prize.

The pain of being away from the one you love is indescribable. When your heart is broken, everything hurts. You spend every day thinking about him/her. You spend every night dreaming about him/her. Your whole life is consumed with sadness and the misery swallows you whole and then spits you back out. In the end you actually miss the darkness because outside the misery, is the real world. In the real world, you can't avoid pain. You see and hear things that only make it worse. People notice the difference in your personality and actions and tell you things will get better, but they never do. The only thing that keeps you going is knowing that one day, you can finally be with him/her. Screaming doesn't help, it only brings the tears faster. Self mutilation is frowned upon but only because those who have not been in the situation don't understand. Talking about it brings all of the pain you have been avoiding right to the surface. Your only escape is to hide. To hide from everything and everyone. Yet, you have to feel the pain to know what you're feeling is real. I guess no matter what, you just can't win.
So the point of this passage is, feel what you need to feel, just don't forget the purpose of those feelings. In a lame matter of speaking, "keep your eyes on the prize." If you're really in love, it will all be worth it in the end.
Good luck and remember to smile every once in a while.

Love and be loved
