Ow

Strange that a woman's menstrual cycle involves such pain. What's the purpose of the pain? a few weeks ago I was brought literally to my knees and then the floor in a cold sweat, the worst pain I can remember...all from my cramping uterus. Laid out on my bathroom floor in my towel because the pain just stopped me there. Was scared for a bit that the Tylenol wouldn't kick in. 30 minutes of that pain. That was it. And, to me, it was so much. 30 minutes of waves of pain was hard and what do others endure?? 

Pain. It's one of the vital signs, but is it really vital? Maybe so. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that Tylenol. Maybe experiencing pain and letting it sink in and get real is when true growth occurs. Pain and hurt and feeling lost. Maybe our hearts have to be stretched and chipped-away-at until they're better...stronger or something. 

Hopefully there's utter joy and peace in the end. Pure comfort somewhere.
