It hurt because it mattered. – John Green

This is a phrase often attributed to the author John Green, and it is often used to express the idea that emotional pain is often a result of the things in life that we care about deeply.

When we care about deeply, than it is a reminder indeed that our emotional experiences, both positive and negative, are often a reflection of what is important to us and how much we value the things in our lives.
