I read this:

"I said to someone I know "I don't know why this hurts so much"
And she said "it hurts because it mattered"
And that was a huge thing for me to realise
That there are things in life that hurt
And they hurt because they were important"


And then the author goes onto say that the most important thing is not "it will get better" or "it could get worse," but that it is okay to hurt and it hurt because it mattered.
