invisible pain

I looked down at the little face that stared up at me.
"Why do we all hurt?" she asked.
"Its just a part of life.." I replied trying to answer the best I could.
"You don't look like you hurt." 
"Now that.. That's invisible pain."
"Invisible pain.. Whats that?" she said, with a curious look in her eyes.
"Invisible pain is when you hurt, but you choose to keep it to your self. Maybe so you don't bother other people, or maybe because you feel that its not important."
"Is it important?"
"All pain is important.. because it could hurt that person more then that same thing would hurt another.  Invisible pain hurts the worse, because you keep holding all the pain inside you and it just builds up."
"So why don't you just let it out?" she said smiling, because she had found the answer.
"Honestly I don't know.." I replied, thinking about the question that the little girl had asked.

I am the type of person who could be hurting emotionally and no one would know. Unless you read me very well, and even if someone knows.. I just try and brush it off like its no big deal. All pain matters. Even if its small, if you hold it in it can build to something bigger. It may seem like invisible pain, but its not invisible.

I found out I have laryngitis. Yup. That is something that was not on my bucket list.. My throat is on fire.
 My voice is practically a whisper, so when people can't hear me and I try to talk louder I sound like a braying donkey.. So I will be writing a little bit more that usual.. :) Because normally when I write, I write the way I talk.. With different tones for different sentences. That does make it confusing sometimes.. And now I can't even sing around the house or in the shower!!! Probably the worst part. Haha! :D Plus I can't laugh. Oh well.. At least I can laugh on the inside! LOL! XD Have a great laryngitis free day! :)
