I've got a migraine right now and it reminded me of something, which is the only reason I'm writing instead of zonking out on the couch like a normal person would. Needless to say, this will be a short entry.
I didn't realize that I was getting migraines until just before my 21st birthday. Before then, I thought that this was just what a bad headache was like, and that I was just a wimp. And that's the problem with pain. I can communicate with you about how much it hurts, maybe put it a number out of 10 scale. But that communication, even if you "get" what I'm saying, is not the same as feeling the pain.
"I feel your pain" No you don't; you envision a pain that you think is like my pain. We've got so many words available to us, but those most basic things are the ones that are hardest to talk about in a meaningful way okay that is all I am done sweet sweet excedrin make pain go bye bye.
