    I would like to say I am somewhat of a healer and an empath, very sensitive spirit. You can’t just talk to anybody, but when you find someone that you’re comfortable with and trust then by any means find a way to confide in them. I hope my comments don’t go unnoticed.

    “Turn pain into passion” that ain’t no pain.. that may be some sort of ego disruption, but real physical pain, nah, ain’t nobody doin that, that shit will crush your dreams, real chronic unrelenting physical pain, will leave you a shell and there nothing you can do. If you workin out, you not in pain.
