Everybody Hurts

I'm now listening to the song Everybody Hurts by REM. I remember seeing the MTV for this song on television years back and the impression that struck me was, we all put on a facade.

There is not 1 soul on this earth who has never hurt at 1 point of his/her life. I feel, it's how we deal with our hurts that matters.

My usual approach is to shrug off any problem i am facing and tell myself to think about other things, but it doesn't solve anything.

I've been feeling very fearful and apprehensive in the course of my own initiative to solve my past unresolved issues by reading and practicing what i learnt from two books i borrowed from NLB just last week.

What if this doesn't work? What if i can't face up to reality? What if this? What if that? There are just too many What Ifs in life.

Are you hurting today? Maybe you lost a close family member to an illness, or you lost a best friend to rivalry, or it could be just a setback in life.
