Pain persists till something changes.
Pain increases the longer it’s tolerated.
Dentist visits weren't on my list of things to do during my early college years. We couldn't afford it. I still have a gap in the back of my mouth where I lost a cavity-filled tooth. Once that tooth started aching, it didn't stop. It grew worse till it became intolerable.
"Look past the pain" -- helps to know exactly what that is! The hell you're going through right now? STOP focusing on the pain. That's not important. What's important to you NOW? Focus on THAT.
