pain | 7:46 AM
Pain comes in all forms. The small twinch. A bit of soreness. The random pain. The normal pains we live with everyday. But then that's the kind of pain you can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else; makes the rest of the world fade away. Until all we can think about is how much we hurt.
How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anaethesise. Ride it out. Embrace it. Ignore it. And for some of us, the best way to manage pain is to wish to push through it.
There are no solutions. No easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time, pain can be managed. But sometimes the pain gets you when you least expected. Hits below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain. You just have to fight through. Because the truth is, you can't outrun it and life always makes more.
