Hi, Pain –

I’ve been keeping myself busy lately so it’s been easier to push you to the corners of my mind and forget you for a little while. This weekend I visited a place where a lot of memories live and there you were, at the forefront, among the shadows of what my life used to be. I couldn’t ignore you any more. The comforts of home always come with a price.

Hi Pain –

You were so raucous last night I couldn’t sleep. You followed that up by distracting me with your antics all day long. I wondered why you were being more disruptive that usual today but all I had to do was look at the calendar. Sometimes I can’t believe you are still here. Then sometimes I’m forced to admit to myself it’s because I let you stay.

Hi, Pain –

New year, same you. You really did rage last week – I guess you wanted to end the shitstorm of a year with a bang. Thanks for that. I know you’re coming in hot for 2023, but can you please go easy on me this January? I need a little bit of a break before you go full tilt again come mid-February.
