Healing is not the absence of pain,
but learning to live with it, instead.
Pain is not the absence of strength,
but rather the embodiment of weakness.
Healing is learning to hold pain so it
doesn't hurt so bad
and holding joy so you can feel
a little more.
Pain is about letting you know that
something is not right,
that something needs to be fixed.
