baby, give the stars a chance to shine brighter than you.

>> pain.

Pain. Agony. Misery.
The strongest feeling to ever be perceived by the human heart and mind is pain.
For me, the pain is like adrenaline. It pushes me. Every time, someone fucks me over, everytime someone doubts my abilities, every single time people abandon me, I get up, stronger than ever.
That pain, that powerful and overwhelming feeling, makes me stronger, make me feel invincible.
Now as I'm in my adulthood, I'm almost numb to the pain. Nobody and nothing can break these walls I've built. The walls were built with determination to never let anyone hurt me again. Never give anyone that kind of power. That was motivated by pain. I was motivated by pain.
I wanted to prove that I was worth it. I am worth it.
There were days where I felt worthless and pathetic but those days made me who I am today.
The days I've spent hating myself, wondering what was wrong with me, doubting my very existence made me the confident and happy person I am.
I never gave up when people made me feel like shit, I never gave up when I was alone, I never gave up till the end.
Pain is what started it all. Pain made me feel.
Pain will make you feel.
Take the pain and ignite it.

Probably the most personal thing I've written in this book. I went through everything I've mentioned and now, I'm happy because I fought the pain.
