We all have to make hard decisions. Often times the choice hurts us just as much as others. But when the choice is for the better, you have to stay with it. It will hurt today, and it'll probably hurt tomorrow. But it will hurt to lesser and lesser degrees with time. It won't totally go away either; there will be days where a feeling of hurt creeps up and gives your heart a squeeze.
But we are humans (unless there are some Marglars reading this), and we adapt and survive. We've survived a long time on a planet that can be very harsh. We are survivors, and we're damn good at it. So while we may hurt today, we'll hurt less from today's wounds tomorrow, and less and less over time, with phantom twinges of hurt sporadically over time.
