"Affliction is the good man's shining scene; Prosperity conceals his brightest ray; As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man."

so here i am. and i'm here, burning like the sun, ready to acknowledge hurt and do something about it. hoping that "doing something about it" doesn't mean discounting pain as trivial (not REAL PROBLEMS). it's bad enough when others are uncomfortable with your emotions, even worse when you are.
