✦ MADE SIMPLE

When a woman is in labor, she's going through intense pain because her time has come. But the moment her baby is born, she doesn't even remember the agony anymore — she's completely overwhelmed with joy that this new person just entered the world.

The pain is temporary, but the joy of new life makes you forget you ever hurt at all.
