Pain is a reminder that you are still alive and awake, not dead or dreaming. Every day you wake up with more pain just remember "I am very alive" and smile through it.

Time is currency, spend it and the pain will fade until each night we embrace sleep as a break from life, hoping to wake up with more time to spend and more life to live.

When we have no more time to spend, and no more pain to live through, the eternal sleep will come.

The final sleep is forever, embrace your life and pain for as long as you can and spend your time wisely. Your waking moments compared to the universe are brief.

So, enjoy what you can for as long as you can. Pain, life, love, hate, all of your feelings, physical, emotional or otherwise, it's the only chance you get and we're all poor with very little time to spend before it's all gone.
