And you asked me to make you forget or take away your pain, I would refuse and here's why.
Your pain is like a seed that grows when watered with healing and bears fruits of wisdom. They're trees that thrive in the land of experience and live symbiotically with your growth.
Just like how trees keep the soil strong and help build resilience, your pain strengthens your foundations so you can withstand storms of obstacles that life throws at you.
Your pain is a struggle you need to fully experience and deal with to mold you into the best version of yourself.
They are sparks born from tragedy that should keep the dying embers of your fighting spirit ablaze.
Remember that the strongest gems are formed under extreme conditions.
So to shape you into the warrior that you ought to be, you need to go through the excruciating process of healing where your sword will be sharpened and your armor strengthened.
It's a journey that you need to take till you reach the finish line, willingly or not.
It's a battle between you and your mind that you need to overcome. A war where the victor wins a priceless prize that no one can easily take - the invincible power of strength and wisdom combined.

SO IF I WERE SANTA CLAUS
So if I were Santa Claus and you asked me to make you forget or take away your pain, I would refuse.
Because If I am to take away the very thing that is fueling your growth, how will you survive in a cruel world with a child's weak heart and naive mind?
How are you going to conquer wars with a blunt sword and without strong armor? How will you win triumph's favor without the pressure of reality crushing you first?
But the person you become and the experience and lessons you gain? They're permanent.
So choose to heal rather than allow your wounds to quench the fire you've suffered enough for just to keep it burning. You've already conquered a lot of battles just to give up on the war now.
Have the courage to finally let go of the things that have turned your dreams into nightmares before darkness entirely consumes the remaining light in you.
Don't keep on wandering miserably in the void between shadows and sunrays. Put both of your feet in the light.
Calm the chaos within you with a dance of devotion to healing and a love song to woo inner peace.

LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
Leave the past behind and face the present. It's time to start a new chapter where endings are beginnings that are worth looking forward to. May your misty-eyed goodbyes be the last gift you offer your past.
Break the chains that are binding you to misery and may the flames of hopeful beginnings warm your shivering heart.
Spread your wings wide and let us learn to fly once again together in the last month of the year.
