Elizabeth WurtzelJesus, I wondered, what do you do with pain so bad it has no redeeming value? It cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify or push it outside or find its beauty within. That is the pain Iām feeling now. Its so bad, its useless. The only lesson I will ever derive from this pain is how bad pain can be.
