Don't Hide Your Pain

Behind every superhero, there's pain
Behind every superhero ,there's sadness 
Behind every superhero, there's scars
Whether physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional.

Behind every superhero, there's vulnerability.
Behind every superhero, there's trials, tribulations, blood, tears, sweats, and brokenness. 

Even Jesus, despite he's perfect, went through betrayals, pain, sufferings, was misunderstood, fell down three times and died for someone’s sins. 

And that someone's sins is yours and mine. 

Even Mary, Jesus’ mother, suffers as well. 

Same goes to the famous people in the Bible.
Even the saints. 

It's ok to not feel ok.
It's ok to feel vulnerable 
It's ok to feel the brokenness.
It's ok to rest, to reflect, and to be angry. 

We're not Batman 
We're not Superman 
We're not Wonder Woman 
And dang sure, we're not Flash.

Some of us or most are tortoises from Tortoise and the Hare. 

I would say, take a good look at the superheroes. 
You would know they are going through it. 

Everyone regardless of who is going through it. 

We as humans have emotions and limits 
We as humans are not perfect. Though I mentioned Mary and Jesus, we're not Mary and we're not Jesus. We were born with original sins. 

Superheroes have the right to feel their emotions, trials and tribulations. It's ok. 

There's time for everything. 

There's grace for it all.

And like Jesus and Mary, and the Tortoise,

There's liberty ?? at the end of the tunnel. 

Let's run this heavenly race.

Vivian Egwuonwu.
