Pain is the Recognition we are Human.

We are all human, and by that I mean we make mistakes. We make poor choices, set ourselves up for failure, and enjoy things we know are bad for us.

The truth is no matter how much we do not want it, we need pain. It humbles us all. It reminds us that no matter what is out there in the world to make us strong, wealthy, or powerful; one person just one can destroy us.

And that is kind of fantastic. In a way having to trust ourselves, others and things we cannot control is remarkable. Trust is the most important thing in the world, and yet it is so hard to obtain. But some people make us feel so good or one moment might just be too perfect to not trust in it, even if we know its not a sure thing because hell, there is no such thing as a sure thing.

Pain also hinders us. It is a very fine line to walk and not many can do it. When pain is involved in a story we may be able to see one side but be oblivious to the other side. We might see how something we do or say hurts someone but we might miss the obvious fact that they love us no matter what, or that they look past it because it is just a moment of weakness.

We have all been weak. To act like we haven't is ignorant and a lie. We may not have been seizing in the backseat of a volvo station wagon, but even if we have its nothing to be ashamed of, the person who can see you in that situation, a situation of immense pain; and say to you I am not leaving your side no matter what you say or do. That is a true friend, one who is willing to take care of you when you can't take care of yourself due to intoxication or sickness. One who is willing to see you in that state and still not be able to take his eyes off of you because they care too much because you are that beautiful to them.

We are all in pain.

We always will be.

We just need to avoid the pain that is unnecessary.

I love you all.
This is for you.
