rub salt in the wounds, it will make you feel all better.
not because salt contains magical healing powers, but because the searing pain you receive through the contact of salt and flesh instantly numbs your brain to every other pain.
they dull and pale in comparison to the gratifying pain that salt provides;
you will never feel them again.
if salt ceases to work, splash some alcohol or spirit onto the wound. let it burn, so you can sleep better at night.
and if the pain is internal- a stab in the heart, a large hole in your chest where your heart used to be, manifest the pain in physical form, then apply the aforementioned methods with varying degree to block out the pain in your heart with one of a higher intensity.
if the aforementioned methods cease to work, break a finger or two.
and if everything and everything else fails, there can only be one way.


"what is vertigo.? fear of falling.? then why do we feel it even when the observation tower comes equipped with a sturdy handrail.? no, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. it is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves. the solidarity of the soulless calling you, that which you feared and fled once before but which mysteriously beckoned you. this is vertigo: the sweet (almost joyous) summons to renounce your fate and soul." - The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

in the grip of an insuperable longing to fall, living in a state of constant vertigo.
