<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">What comes, after the pain, you’re, eager to know, as you’d, lived in pain for god knows how long now, and you just, can’t, wait for it all, to end, but, you look out, from where you’re standing, and, all that’s “presented” to before you, are, even more miles, and miles, of loneliness, and pain that had been, trailing behind you, ever since, you’d started…</span></span></p>

<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Hurts, doesn’t it???</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">What comes, after the pain, we all want to wishful think to ourselves, that after this period of pain we’d all endured through, we will have our better days, rightfully, EARNED, given to us, like they’re, an award, for us, weathering through, all the trials of life, but, uh, life does NOT work that way!</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">You may think you’d, put in the amount of work, for you to, EARN that rightfully yours happiness, but, you hadn’t, not really, you still have, so many, unmastered lessons up front, and until you can tackle that obstacle course perfectly, you won’t get your rightfully deserved bliss…</span></span></p>

<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">a “map” of all the nerve endings in the human body…</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">What comes after the pain, is more pain, because you’re not done yet, and life is still, NOT even done with you!  And, life will NEVER be finished with you, until you D-I-E.  As for me, however, I am, finished, with L-I-F-E here!</span></span></p>
