One of the benefits of being numb

..is that nothing hurts. But then, nothing feels good either. Nothing feels at all.

Everyone who prefers not hurting chooses their preferred anesthetic..

and some days.. I do, too. Other days I gut it out. Hopefully, as time goes on, there are more of the latter than the former.

As Dr. S-W says, each day I can make it through the pain, I emerge the next day a little bit stronger, and the pain lessens a little bit, too.



Lyrics from a very pretty song by Magnet. Worth a $.99 download.



Nothing Hurts Me Now

There was a time you made me believe
That I'd recieve
Something that would hold,
And wouldn't leave me cold.

And there was a line
You made me cross
So the two of us
Would have the strength to bear
The crosses we couldn't share

But nothing hurts now
That didn't hurt before.
So I won't pretend
That it was the end of the world.
'Cause nothing hurts now.
No...

There was a time
I made you smile.
And for a while
I was beautiful to you.
I was beautiful like you.

But these things often pass,
And for you, they just wouldn't last.
So I was first to know
When you had to go.

But nothing hurts now
That didn't hurt before.
So I won't pretend,
That it was the end of the world,
'Cause nothing hurts now.

No nothing hurts now
That didn't hurt before.
So I won't pretend,
That it was the end of the world,
'Cause nothing hurts now
No nothing hurts now
