Yes, you've been hurt, but, compassion still lies in your heart

My friend asked me, "hey can you write"? and I said yes I can. So she sent me a link to a platform and asked me to join. Here I am. I just created my account yesterday, and I have read all the rules.

I am optimistic that I will be doing just fine as long as I keep writing from my heart and having all of your support.

This morning, I was searching my head for something to write about, and I remembered, she talked about a prompt in the community.

So I head out, and searched for it, subscribed to the community, and try to find a word that I can relate with and start writing.

I saw the first one, and it was a pet, I skipped it, I have less knowledge about pets, and then, I saw success, I wanted to write about that. Yet, my brain said, no, you are not ready to share your success stories yet.

That's how I moved over to the next word, and found compassion. At once, I was connected to it, and I decided, here is the prompt I will be focusing on today.

so sit tight, and enjoy this ride with me.

It's not easy to feel compassionate about anyone, especially if you have been hurt in the past. It will take a lot of effort to be able to finally trust anyone after your initial experience.

So, most people bottle up their feelings and turn stone-cold over to the next person. They have forgotten how to love.

I just remembered, Simi, singing Remind Me, and the part of the lyrics says, "I forgot how to love, the way, you asked me to, remind me".

It's not just a song lyrics, it is something that is happening to people around the world. Being hurt in the past makes them forget how to love, and whenever, they feel someone coming too close to them, they push them away.

And that is because those people try to melt them or break down the walls you had built around their hearts.

Yes, their friends hurt them, their neighbors said bad things about them, their lovers broke their hearts and they decided to close up

it is never too late to heal, at times, we don't want to, because, we are afraid of being hurt, again. But if we push aside all our fears and give love another chance, we will see that our hearts contain the most compassionate feeling you can ever imagine

The world won't stop hitting on you and hurting you. All you have to do is learn to turn the hurt into compassion, understanding, that, it is what it is.

Spread more love around, and even though you get a fraction back, it is all for the best.
