I live with pain, daily. It’s enough to make me take medication, despite years of (continuing) investment of significant time and energy in non-pharmacological treatments. That’s where I’m at.

But that’s not the point. My pain is not unique. You all have pain too. If not pain, at least discomfort. Stiff muscles, hunger, anxiety, headaches, heartbreak, stubbed toes — discomfort is human and unavoidable.
