Without Pain There is No Gain

Women carry the heaviness of the world on their shoulders.

In the midst of everything going on around them, women experience different levels of heartache and pain; whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally.

The physical would be apart of Mother Nature's call for us to reproduce. We experience the pain of developing as young ladies do. Our flow begins and our bodies begin to grow into something beautiful- growing pains. Then as we grow into women, we experience the pain of carrying a living human in our bellies and then delivering them to this world, just for them to live among the struggles that the world has to offer. We are called to guide them through it all, because we have carried the world's weight on our shoulders. Now moving onto the pain that we experience mentally.

Women have to process every single thing that is thrown at them.

We deal with the things we've learned from the people who guide us through it all. There is war, there is poverty, there is hunger, and of course, there is responsibility. We go through countless years of education and learning. They teach us how to function in this world in regards to our "calling". We have to decide what path we would like to take. There are the struggles of growing, making friendships, having relationships with young men, giving our bodies and our hearts away to those men, or deciding whether we will involve ourselves in drug or alcohol related ordeals. We live and we learn. We make mistakes. We learn right from wrong. This is all that we have to process before understanding what life is all about and what it entails. We get our college degrees. We show people what we can do as we are belittled by men. Women are taken down by men. We stand up to them and prove ourselves. We finally find that career that will support us through the rest of our lives. Sometimes we are happy with the end result. Sometimes we are not.

After women experience the physical and mental pains that consume them in this world, they remember that they are emotional creatures.

We feel everything. The weight, the depth......the pain. Through our growth and learning we have emotional pain. We carry on from childhood to adulthood with insecurities about our bodies, our minds, and our lifestyles. We look to our mothers for guidance. We look to our fathers for comfort. We look to friends and acquaintances for affirmation. We look to men for affection. We are cheated on, beaten, talked down and taken advantage of by people, as well as men. Our children put us through pain when they go out into the world and make wrong choices. We carry the world on our shoulders. We cry at night and paint a happy smile on our face in the morning. There is countless disappointment after disappointment after disappointment. Its hard to carry all of the grief. We search for respect and happiness. We have trouble finding it.

As women experience all of this physical, mental and emotional pain, they stop and think. They grow, they learn, they become stronger.

We go through heartache and pain, but at the end of the day we become warriors. We've been through so many things in life, starting with our childhood and until this current day. We are strong. We are built to endure pain and suffering. Without pain there is no gain. We become better versions of ourselves as we face the world and the many challenges that it withholds in everyday life.

Conclusion

Take the time to absorb everything that you have gone through. Process it. Pick through it. Understand it. And learn from it. Cry those tears and heal those wounds. Its time to face tomorrow with a new perspective of pain vs. fulfillment and happiness. You deserve your happiness. Live on with the thought in mind that there's a new day - a new beginning ahead of you.
