Life is filled with inevitable trauma, death, and tragedy, even if you've had a seemingly normal or average life.
This is because of a significant divide between what your life is like and how you actually feel. It's not just about having a good or bad life; internal variables can dramatically impact someone's emotional experience.
It's important to recognize the validity of your own emotions instead of constantly seeking validation from others. Suppressing your pain only leads to more suffering.
