Pain Quote by Lisa Voisin
““A warm tingle filled me all the way to my toes. It made me feel open and exposed, as though a million eyes were watching me. Something inside told me to relax, and when I did, it eased not only my fright from earlier but all the pain I didn't know I had, as if all of my struggles had been seen.””
