I struggle making peace with the duality of life.

On one hand, If life hadn't been so painful so early on, I wouldn't be the based bagel I am today. I would be a boosted bagel with a blood clot.

But, the pain in my early life was immense. So immense that, despite my best efforts, I harbor a lot of resentment for those who screwed me over.

Such is the duality of life. .
