Oh, if only problems in one’s 40s were as simple as they were in the teenage years, when solutions to the most pressing problems lay in a jar or two of acne cream.

I know of a person who is dealing with a debilitating illness and is in deep pain; the only thing that helps is narcotic-level prescription drugs. And yet, such drugs are highly addictive.

What a terrible position to be in; either attempt to endure an incredible amount of pain, or risk addiction for some temporary relief! All I know about a situation like that is, this is not how life in this world was meant to be.
