Pain hits differently

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.
