Martyrdom, Comfort, and Old Dogs — Becoming Janine
4 min readJan 20, 2021
I have never been a friend of comfort, at least not as long as I can remember. But I have a feeling we might be able to get along.
I’ve internalized a voice that sings “Nothing comes easy.”
The complete soundtrack includes: “You have to struggle to get ahead.”
“You get what you pay for.”
“No pain, no gain.”
“You have to suffer to be beautiful”
and other hits.
