Pain hits differently

(Edited)

Today while reflecting on my life all I could think of is the kind of pain people go through on a daily basis and I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.

A statement from an acquaintance of mine kept ringing in my head as I reflected on my life, she said: “IB I don’t think you have ever been in so much pain that you begin to question your existence”. I couldn’t help but think afterward how true her words were. I have experienced pain a few times, some borne out of sickness and the rest when things don’t go as planned which ended up hurting me greatly but never in my life have I ever been in so much pain that I had to question my existence or even nurture suicidal thoughts as life is too short to be out of it.

This line of thought was influenced by the sad news I heard a few days ago. My friend and colleague Bright was to get married tomorrow which is the 9th of December as stated on the invitation card that we all were given but sadly Bright’s dream will not come through as his big day is never going to happen tomorrow again.

The more I analyze everything the more I get confused and cannot arrive at a reasonable conclusion. I still can’t bring myself to believe that the wedding is not going to hold again.

A lot was put into making this wedding a huge success as Bright is from a wealthy family so most people had to support Bright’s wedding to the best of their abilities and these timbres and calibers are supposed to be present in the wedding as most of them flew from different states and countries.

Different vendors have already been paid; the caterers, the MC, the cake, the hall, and every other thing you have to pay for a few days before your wedding.

Everything was in place for the wedding except the bride who called off the engagement a few days before the wedding. People say a broken courtship is better than a broken marriage but in this case, why wait this long before breaking it?

I have heard of weddings being called off days to the D-day but mostly in movies and hearsay’s not it happening right before my very eyes and I was so shocked. Now I get it why they say literature mirrors the society as the movies we watch depicts the current happenings in society.

Right now my friend is in so much pain and is been supervised so he doesn’t t lose it completely. Right now he doesn’t know where to begin from nor does he know how to handle everything that has been happening. Will this young man ever love again? Will he ever be able to trust another lady in his life?

Thinking about the story I can’t help but feel sorry for my friend as I cannot imagine someone doing something of this magnitude. If it was me that such a stunt was pulled on I do not know if I can overcome the emotional trauma as little things get to me. We can only hope that Bright is fine wherever he is and taking things one step at a time.

Thanks for stopping by
Loads of Love🥰🥰
XOXO

Kai, this is so painful to read. I don't wish this kind of scenario on any one. I also hope that Bright is ok. He needs therapy too. He needs to vent his anger

I hope that your friend will heal and be okay with time. I can't just imagine what he might be going through, and even the bride to call off such a wedding might as well be a very tough one on her.

I hope that they will both be okay in the end.

Wow. Only God knows what happened.

After all the wedding stress. It is a lot to handle honestly.. quite traumatic but everything happen for a reason.

I hope he find relief from this.

Life's weird, isn't it? You start the day with plans and end up questioning everything. Your friend's pain is palpable, and it makes you wonder about love and trust. It's like, Will Bright ever catch a break? Your thoughts on his emotional rollercoaster echo what many of us would feel in such a situation. Here's hoping he finds his way through this mess and comes out stronger. Life's full of surprises, good and bad, but it's the support from friends that helps us ride the waves.

I wish Bright healing, love, and light. You are right, it isn't every day you see such scenarios in real life. Bright will be fine I know it.

"Out of the blue" doesnt exist.
Something was off , the signs were there but he didnt see.
If they were so connected to the point of getting married, they would be married.
But one of them was up in a dream and the other was hiding in a hole.
I dont think it is sad..what is sad is when a couple like this one goes further and have kids and then realise the lack of connection , which must be found on many levels...and then ..divorce.
Shattered families is all over the world.
She was faithful to her own feelings and truth...sometimes you need to find yourself over the edge to see it.
