...I Know it hurts. But sometimes it's the greatest things in our lives that cause us the most pain. That's why it hurts so much, because they're so important.

About This Quote

This quote comes from the poem “Difficult” written by Mary Anne Radmacher. The poem is about a young girl named Anna who is just starting to go through puberty.Anna has always been told she is beautiful and that her nose is perfect, but recently she has started to feel uncomfortable with what she sees in the mirror. Anna has learned that her mother was once an average girl who also struggled with her looks. To Anna, this means that she will have to deal with the same difficulties her mother did.

However, this is not true because Anna does not have to compare herself to anyone else. She is perfect just as she is now, and even if she felt like something was missing, there are many ways to make yourself feel more beautiful.
