Pain was a torn piece of paper.

About This Quote

A torn piece of paper. When I was in my twenties, I received the worst news of my life. I lost my father to cancer and it was a very painful shock to me. Tearing the piece of paper and throwing it away was what I did.

But today, I can look back and realize that pain is not a piece of paper anymore. It is something we should embrace and learn from.
