Pain

The sensation burns. Your muscles are tight. Every movement hurts, a fire burning through your muscles.

This is pain.

You feel sick to your stomach, as if you swallowed a huge chunk of ice. As the ice melts, a large hole seems to be ripped in your spirit.

This is pain.

Why do we have pain? Because we are alive.

Now, pain is the ultimate test. Are we going to just sit around and do nothing because of this pain? Or are we going to choose to push past the pain, rise above and grow?

As humans, we go through so much in one lifetime. Some of us experience more pain than others. Never forget that we all have our own battles, no matter how much one smiles on the outside. That’s just a mask, after all.
