She was a real fox when she was your age, enough to make Asuka (another pretty girl) pale in comparison.
What does it mean to make someone pale?
Living true to yourself is not painless by any means, but it was a road that She and I couldn't choose.
not painless by any means, does it mean is still painful?
Thank you

Anyway, does not painless by

WillPittAnyway, does not painless by any means exactly mean not painless at all?I don't take it as being a measure of the pain (more pain/less pain). It simply means that there is pain. It may be sporadic, absent at times, mild at times, intense at times.
The double negative "not painless at all" can be tricky. With your permission,
