anyone closer dear feelings good hardly next painful smart strongly surprise tells themselves truth
It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason.

It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.

workout pain iron-will
It wasn't until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.
