pain was there to let me know that it's because i've felt and given enough of myself that i've hurt...

sometimes, it is just that jolt of pain that jerks us awake and forces us realize that time is cruel. it waits for no man; by the time you realize that you have wasted too much time wallowing in your own self-pity, everybody would have already moved so far ahead that it'd be difficult to catch up... and you'd give up trying to catch up within the snap of your fingers.

or it could also be pain telling us that hey, we're still alive. it's tearing us apart from inside, slowly killing us- but all these are telling us that we're still alive. there's still a chance to pull yourself together, to fight it and to make it all right again.

...that it's because it's because i was once happy enough to know that this is pain.
