"Pain"...

pain comes in all kinds of forms. the small twinge. a bit of soreness. the random pain. the normal pains that we live with every day.

then there is the kind of pain that you can't ignore. a level of pain that is so great that it blocks out everything else. it 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. embrace it, ride it out, ignore it, and for some of us the best way to manage our pain is to just push through it. we just have to ride it out and hope that it goes away on its own. hope that the wound that caused it will heal.

there are no easy solutions. no easy answers. you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. sometimes you even have to fight through it because you can't out run it and unfortunately life always makes more.

just continue to laugh and continue to smile because eventually that's how you'll really feel.
