Denial only prolongs the pain from "summary" of Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
Avoiding the truth doesn't make it disappear. It doesn't erase the pain or make it any less real. It simply buries it deep within you, where it festers and grows. Denial may provide temporary relief, a temporary escape from facing the harsh reality of a situation, but in the end, it only serves to prolong the inevitable suffering that must be dealt with. Pain demands to be felt. It demands acknowledgment and acceptance. It demands to be processed and worked through, not ignored or pushed aside. By denying the pain, you are only delaying the healing process, allowing it to linger and torment you for longer than necessary. The longer you deny your pain, the stronger it becomes. It seeps into every aspect of your life, coloring your thoughts, emotions, and actions. It taints your relationships, your work, your happiness. It creates a barrier between you and the possibility of moving forward, of finding peace and closure. Facing pain head-on is never easy. It requires courage, vulnerability, and strength. It demands that you confront your deepest fears and insecurities, that you delve into the darkest corners of your soul. But only by acknowledging and accepting your pain can you begin to heal and find a way to move forward. Don't let denial be your crutch, your shield from the harsh realities of life. Embrace your pain, no matter how difficult or overwhelming it may seem. Only by facing it with honesty and openness can you begin to truly heal and find the peace and closure you seek.
