What is this twisted game for… and why won’t it stop?
It often feels like I am stuck between the pit and the pendulum. Neither option is appealing, but there is nothing else to do but to dwell in the in-between or let one or the other destroy me. Most of my days are spent dodging the pendulum or searching for refuge from the heat of the pits fire.
However, I can’t help but wonder if the relationship I have with pain in life mirrors the relationship between the joker and batman. Who would they be without each other, and who would I be without pain? Better? Worse? I am unsure because so much of who I am has been formed from pain. (‘o’)
Question:Who do you think you would be without pain? Does pain define your identity?

That’s an interesting analogy.. But I don’t think I can answer the question.. Who would I be without pain? Good question! I’ll get back to you if I think of an answer!
I can’t even imagine where I’d be now if that were the case. My issues are so ingrained into my personality and life that I’d be lost if those were just taken away. Best case, I probably would have moved with my older sister out of state when I got out of high school and started my life again.
