“ Pain los[es] its power when other things bec[o]me more important. ”

Life before Death.Strength before Weakness.Journey before Destination.
If you give up what you want most for what you think you should want more, you'll end up miserable.
Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.
