pain is pain

life is complicated. and for a girl who desires to understand everything, it only gets more so. 

pain is a funny thing. i mean.... not really. but we so often run from it without acknowledging how essential it is to human living. without pain there would not be choice. without pain there would not be pleasure. without pain we would have nothing that showed us how to become more refined, to try harder, to go faster, to do our best trying to do the best. 

at times i've found myself hiding from pain, at times i've found myself seeking it out. pain has been important to my life, but it has still been pain. and i hope that as life continues i learn to deal with it better than the time before.

here's to pain.
