Stunting Pains

I'd say that I was experiencing growing pains....but I feel as if my life has halted. My heart hurts often. It's not uncommon for me to feel one word away from a cry fest. At this very moment, my tears are clinging to the edge of my eyes, threatening  to jump at the next sign of despair.....which, at this point, could be as simple as the vending machine not having anymore Dr Pepper.
