Pain makes us human...

I didn't think these things would bother me, but they sting. They hurt...they aren't supposed to, but they do. And I mean, I pretty much signed up for this. I knew the consequences of my own actions.

The worst part is that I did so many of these things out of fear.

College has given me so much, but in the background of all four years, there was pain. There was always pain.

There are so many instances where people could say that I could care less. I can assure you, all of you...that nothing could be further from the truth. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I care deeply, and I feel deeply.

Maybe that's all I need to remember where I'm from and to get back when I feel lost. Remember who I am, what I'm grounded in. Remember purpose to keep trudging forward.

"you, of all people, know it is possible to live with pain."
