What makes life suck is the same thing that gives it worth -- that we can appreciate loss is what makes us value the other swing of the pendulum.

And that is SO intrinsic. I'm so tempted to say: "It would be nice to have that appreciation when we're younger,", but part of what makes life NOT suck when we're younger is that we have that liberty of not worrying about the downsides of growing older.

Of course, you could sum that up in precisely your two-word phrase...

Found it! This issue was a big deal to me at the time, since I was so blown away by the above piece of art, plus a glimpse of the current Storm by JB (unfettered by Janson's finishes, to boot). 

It also showed me that JB read or at least had access to current issues of Marc Silvestri's X-MEN run, since he gave her the hairstyle that had only just recently appeared (and curiously Janson reverted to her regular style for some reason).
