"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's all BS. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they are afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain, but they are wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. You're feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them you are letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel pain."
