Sometimes I feel like I'm not allowed to have bad days. That my forward progress in my life would be invalidated by one slip up of feeling negative emotions. This piece to me is a reminder to hurt sometimes, and that life is less about being happy all the time and more about finding a way to find peace in the constant ups and downs of adulthood. My feelings, like this rusty car, are harder to deal with when I tuck them away somewhere to be ignored where they will inevitably become worse until they are even harder to deal with further down the road. To me "HURT" means to take my feelings for a spin every once in awhile, to be human and remind myself why joy is so special in life.
