May as well dance

[brightlotusmoon]

shadesong said it first, but I've always thought it:

"I have had comments to the effect of wondering how, with my medical shit alone, I can be so 'bubbly', and why I go out and Do Stuff even though I know it'll hurt more later.

Because I have a choice. I can sit at home in pain, or I can go to the park with friends in pain. I can curl up on the couch in pain, or I can go to a concert in pain. The pain is a constant. Fine. Accepted. Now what am I gonna do? If I'm going to be in pain anyway, I may as well dance."

Very cool. Of course, there are the times when the pain makes it impossible to dance or do [fill in the blank], but I agree - if I can, I will, despite the pain. Or even because of the pain, because it makes me realize all the more how special and important it is to do the fun and good and happy things when it's possible to do them. :)
