pain.

Pain comes in all forms:

the small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain,

the normal pains we live with every day.

Then there’s the kind of pain we 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 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.
