When you are experiencing something that will hurt they ask you to rate the pain on a scale of 1-10
No matter what I am experiencing I can not answer accurately.
The scale to me has never made sense.
If 10 is the worst pain imaginable, the brink of death, how do I know what my worst pain is before that.
I can never bring myself to choose a high number even wile in agony.
This is because I will never know when my worst pain is coming.
I can not risk my 10 on something that wont kill me.
I can't bring myself to admit pain when I know it could always be worse.
I wonder how much of life I've let slip by simply waiting for the next time I would be hurt.
I wonder how much pain I've ignored assuming it would only get worse.
I wonder what my life would look like if I had learned that you never know when you'll be your happiest instead.
I wonder if it's too late to start instead...
