About This Quote

Happiness isn’t about pretending there’s no pain. It’s about accepting the pain as a part of healing and doing your best to nurse your own wounds with love and patience. When someone says, “Happiness isn’t about pretending there’s no pain,” it implies that happiness is something that can be attained by ignoring all pain. This is untrue.

The only way to attain true happiness is to learn to accept the pain as a part of the healing process. This doesn’t mean you should go through life with a smile on your face, taking everything people throw at you without question. That’s not how life works.

It means that you should take whatever life throws at you, however hard it may seem at times, and nurse those wounds with love and patience until they heal.
