But as bad as it was, I learnt something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse - a lot worse - but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learnt from it.
Pain comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain. The normal pains we live with everyday. Then there’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 your 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 anesthetize, ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, and for some of us the best way to manage pain is to just push through it.
