Pain is but apart of the game, and to fear it would be a shame. Its nothing to fret as it temporary--and it reminds you that you gave your heart---one of the most beautiful gifts the world could ever receive.
Living in fear of pain means never loving--never becoming vulnerable--never allowing anyone to hurt you aka never allowing anyone to love you. Vulnerability is a beautiful necessity to intimacy (into-me-you-see). Unfortunately too often is this defenseless, naked place exploited. Thus, the fear deeming rational.
But fear will always take more than you are willing to give. It's deceiving with it's false sense of security. It makes you believe if you avoid opening up your heart, it will never hurt. The opposite is true. Not opening your heart to love will be the most painful experience of your life. You will lose without ever loving or being loved. You will sabotage what you want most because you are afraid of losing it. Fear of pain is undoubtedly the greatest cause of pain. In fact, whatever you most fear, you empower to preserver. Don't partner with fear--partner with love.
Love casts out fear. Love covers a multitude of sin. Love is worth the risk. Love doesn't hurt--it doesn't cause pain.
Rejection hurts, deception hurts, betrayal hurts, but love does not cause pain; love is where joy abounds.
