“As I grow older, what I find interesting is that I get experience with pain, different types of pain, and I start to see the lovely hilarity of life. Things that were once so crushing take on a different essence. I move through it at a faster rate. It's like traveling: it opens my eyes. My process is to allow myself to have it and to not judge myself or the situation too much, and then to create something with it.”
![“There's something about [pain] that excites me. If I'm feeling really awful about something, it's because I haven't experienced it before. There's something I need to learn from it.” quote by Rachael Yamagata](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3ac/rachael-yamagata-23126_awful_there-s-something-about-pain-that-excite_1893551.jpg)
