The sun has been lashing my back for nineteen years, why should you be any different?

There's such a fine line between pain and pleasure that I think confusing the two is a large part of my current unhappiness. If, as children, our perceptions are overwhelmed with hurtful feelings before we've learned to a healthy way of processing them, our minds, resourceful as they are, find a way to cope. In my case, I've glorified suffering and raised it as my highest virtue... replacing strength, it's longtime rival. Very submissive, in a way, which is unlike me. I would that my strengths lay in some healthier or more productive field, but the arrogance suffering has bred into me has prevented me from accepting the many of the lessons offered.

Still, the unique wisdom I've gained from this experience could be put to good use. For example, I've learned to torture people with pleasure (and occasionally, pain) through massage. If I choose to, I can bring one to depths of sensation unfathomed by those who avoid suffering. One of my dreams, in fact, is to open a spa catering to a clientele who wish to experience the whole range of human feeling. Sensualists in the truest sense, if you'll forgive the shitty pun.

Coming out of my winter hibernation, I begin to stir and notice the newborn world around me. This summer is going to be a wealth of sensation, and those who stand in my way will be coming along for the ride.
