We are all marathon runners when it comes to running away from pain

Of course, please do not get married to it and make it your identity.

But please do sit with it and understand why it happened.

Or if you had no hand in it, still learn the lessons life is trying to teach you in this moment.

And when it visits again, do it again.

Then move on again.

Like Ijeoma Umebinyuo says:

“1. You must let the pain visit.
2. You must allow it teach you
3. You must not allow it overstay.

(Three routes to healing)”
