Pain is a funny thing.

Because if it doesn't look bad, then you're making a big deal over nothing.

But if you say it doesn't hurt, then you're accused of acting tough, and told you can cry.

But then if you cry, you're immediately discredited if you're ever hurt again.


When you are in pain, and it never goes away, you would think perhaps you could grow used to the pain.

But that's not true, is it?

The longer you are in pain, the harder it is to fight against it.

The longer you are in pain, the less you want to fight.


And when you're in pain for this long, you stop believing you can fight.

And if you stop believing, then you stop living.

So what's the point.
