MY PAIN IS NO WORSE THAN EVERYONE ELSE'S

I find it tiresome when people parade their agonies for public viewing; the last
thing I want to evoke is pity. We are all the walking wounded, your pain is no
worse than everyone else’s. - Jessica Zafra, Twisted

I am constantly reminded of why I adore Jessica Zafra. She has the gift of saying the things that I would wanna say but I fail to say because I am not as eloquent and as witty a writer as she is. This is exactly my point when I tell people that I dont want to be a burden to anyone. I think we all have our pains to endure and as much as I would want to think that I am suffering more than other people, it's never verifiable. Therefore, I convinced myself that we all are suffering in different levels but at one point in our lives the pain that we feel will be similar to that of what everyone else is actually feeling. I dont think i have any right to feel pity for myself and accept pity from other people because WE ALL ARE SCARRED. We rely on each other once in a while... ONCE IN A WHILE being the operative phrase. In the end, it's just all YOU. or in my case, ALL ME.
