i find it funny that some things which make us better are often so hurtful or hard to deal with. like a fever, for example: your body tempurature rises substantially above its normal and balanced state, causing aches and pains all over your body and banishing you to your cosy, albeit cold, room. if you’re like me, “simple fevers” bring out 103, 104 degrees fahrenheit from your body and bring with them a serious amount of pain. but all of this pain and befuddlement is a sign that your body is fighting back and, in most cases, winning.

it always takes aches, pain and time to get over everything that has gone wrong. the same goes for fever and for major mistakes we’ve made that hurt ourslelves and others. fever tends to come on its own and in its own time, but if you could deal with a sickness before it takes over, would you? would you learn from it and make sure the steps that made you sick are not taken again? if you wait too long, you’ll be at its will and only time will tell when, or if, it will ever break.
