Stones and People are Made the Same Way

[holly_evolving]

Without stress and extraordinary circumstances, we're just fat lumps of carbon, nearly useless. We barely burn bright enough to see. It's when we endure the unendurable, the extreme pressures and weirdness, that we become precious, more than we were when we started.

Pain has a purpose. The untried, untested, unhurt...are the unspecial.
